Jimenez Family Spring Break - The tour operators were fantastic. We were concerned that due to a full moon, we weren’t going to see the bioluminescence, but thankfully they had an incredible plan to bring the experience to life!! I highly recommend the tour.

Love this tour, love this company! - This is seriously one of the coolest things to do in Puerto Rico. We LOVED the 5:30 tour because we got to paddle through the mangroves in the daylight then experience sunset on the bay before the bioluminescence lit up the place. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and fun. The company is extremely efficient.

Rainy night - It rained while we were waiting in the bay for it to get dark. Our guide told us about the why the lake glows and was very funny.

Great experience - The whole experience was surreal. Kayaking through the mangroves as the sunset, an amazing view of the stars, swirling the glowing plankton with our hands and paddles. The guides were all amazing. Would recommended to everyone.

The staff was excellent.... - The staff was excellent. But we saw about 5 minutes of microorganisms under a wet moldy smelling tarp. It was a 2-1/2 hour drive from ship and and a 4 mile paddle trip in the kayak. Total expenditure $650.00 for 6 adults. I don’t think it was a good value. Disappointed

Pretty Lame - We paddled at turtle speed in a single file line out to the bay. Then they said we couldn’t see much because of the lights of Fajardo. We had to put a tarp over our heads to really see anything. Paddling back in the dark was fun. Overall not worth the money.

Not worth the money - Not organized well and did not see much given the 1 hour and 20 minutes drive from San Juan to location. Not worth the money. Would not recommend to anyone.
