Magical night - Really great trip with my wife and kids. My two boys (14 and 10) loved it. Tour guides were great and the mangroves were cool to kayak through.

Magical, relaxed yet exciting - We booked the “Bioluminescent Bay with Transportation from San Juan” tour through Viator. A van picked us up at one of two pickup spots in San Juan. Our driver was very chill, and very smooth behind the wheel. It was about 1.5-2 hrs to drive there and an hour back. The van had AC which was nice. The tour itself was lovely. Our guides Miche and Emily did such a fabulous job! We kayaked through a gorgeous little meandering Mangrove forest, got to see an iguana, and then had some time to explore the bay once we arrived. In the bay, Emily and Miche did a spectacular job of gathering everyone up again. Emily then explained the ecology of the mangrove forest and a bit about the “critters” we were there to see. Very entertaining and funny and informative. The guides then used tarps to allow everyone to see the plankton - which were so glittery and bright under the tarp! Truly spectacular! Quite a magical experience. Miche did an excellent job of swooping in when folks had trouble kayaking (a few of us hit trees) and see was able to help those who needed it but also keep the line moving. There were then chips and bottles of water waiting for us at the end. Make sure to bring some cash for tips for the guides and the driver at the end 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Great experience - Great, for me experience of a lifetime. The only reason I went to Purto Rica was the Bioluminescent Algae and they did not disappoint.

Must Do! - We had a great time. It is a really cool experience. The guides are great. Take your time kayaking, enjoy the experience. The only thing to worry about is bumping into other who do not know how to kayak. Biobay is a must-do on your trip

Magical and magnificent experience that no camera will ever do justice - A magical and magnificent experience that can only be appreciated in person. No camera can capture the wonder of this experience. The guides were informative and had a lot to do to corral people with little experience. The sunset then the revelation of the stars overhead was breathtaking. The use of the tarps to get into total darkness was a unique addition to ensure we saw the bioluminescence.

Awesome nighttime kayaking trip with an awesome tour company - We had a wonderful kayak trip. Our van driver called us an hour or so before picking us up to make sure that we knew where to meet him. Excellent communication. The ride from San Juan to Fajardo was just over an hour. Everything about this tour was excellent. This tour company is well organized and all of the guides were friendly and helpful. They were so efficient at getting us visitors suited up in life jackets, teaching us how to paddle correctly, and explaining how the night would go. There were five guides with our group which was perfect. We paddled out through the mangroves while it was light out, but getting dark. It got dark as we floated around in the bay. We had a great night for seeing the bioluminescence effect in the water. We were told to not book the trip on a full moon night, so we did not. The paddling was easy. Coming back from the bay through the mangroves in the dark was a bit challenging and a little bit scary, but it's all doable. Just take your time and follow your guide, not letting them get too far ahead of you. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company.

Bioluminescence was fantastic! - Transportation picked us up exactly as said. Driver was very nice. Our group of kayakers left last, it was great to go through the mangroves in the dusk on our way to the bay. Emily, AJ and Sammy were our guides and they were fantastic! Loved seeing the bioluminescence stirring the water and pouring some on your leg and seeing sparks light up! We were 1/2 moon but still was worth the money! Thank you!

Interesting - The guides were good. Loved the kayaking. But could not see much bioluminescence because the moon was almost full.
