This was an amazing experience for myself and my 12 and 14 year old sons!
We all would strongly recommend this adventure. The guides were great and the bioluminescent water was so interesting and fun to see.
The kayak trip back was an adventure in itself, with fish jumping and the paddles making the water glow.
You don't want to miss this experience!

Its hard to describe how bizarre and magical the bioluminescence is. Well organized and very pleasant throughout.

Booked this specifically because of the transportation from San Juan. Overall great experience from transport, to checking in with experienced staff, and of course our excellent guides. Our tour was with Captains Nitshy, Joe, and Yareff. The kayaking was fun and not too challenging, the highlight of course being the amazing bioluminescence! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

An excellent time. The 2nd time we’ve done the bio bay tour. They’re pretty much the same, but this one is family run and I love their vibe. Definitely recommend. (Pls get your driver to wear his seat belt though).

Transportation was a great bonus. Driver was amazing. The kayak instructors were really helpful getting everyone out and back in. The bay was beautiful and you could see the bioluminescence clearly when you moved the water. I recommend a sunset tour and the way back in the dark was much more difficult than the way in when it was light out.

The lagoon was so cool—so interesting and weird and beautiful. The driver was very nice, the ride was comfortable and on time, and the guides were informative and helpful. It was a great experience over all.

We had an excellent time kayaking to the bay and seeing the biolumiescence! Our guides did a great job of helping us along the route to and from the bay.

The kayak tour was great. The hosts were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. My only complaint lies with the transportation driver. He called me 5 minutes before our meeting time and told me he was early. Because of traffic he wanted to depart right away. I told him that I planned on the meeting time and would be there on time, which I was. After the kayaking we were waiting for the restroom to become available to change clothes as recommended when booking. While standing in line, the driver was about 10 feet away YELLING that it was time to leave. I askeif we had time to change and his response was, "I'll wait again". He didn't wait the first time because we weren't late. On the ride back, her pointed out the area he lived, how far back his drive was, and how late it was. I highly recommend that the driver stick to the schedule and stop being impatient.

First of all, the bay doesn't sit there glowing on its own. Some seem disappointed, but they need to get more info before going. The water glows when it is agitated, so only if you wiggle your hand or oar in it. Pick up some in your hand and you'll see little specks of light too. The kayaking is a real adventure though. We went for about a mile on a narrow course between mangroves, occasionally canopied overhead as well. It was quite lovely. The route is fairly narrow, probably two experienced kayaks could navigate it side by side, but we were given instructions to go single file. This is good advice, follow it! The bay empties and fills through this channel, so if you're with the current on your way out, you will probably have the opposite current on the way back. For us, that meant an easy glide to the bay and a workout coming back. The guides were helpful and fun, but our trip back was a challenge and in the dark too. They didn't really impress upon us the importance of staying single file, but it really is vital! We bunched up fairly quickly and it was a frustrating mess for about 15 minutes. Once we spread out things went fine, if not a little spooky in the dark.
