Our tour guide and boat captain were fabulous. They had much knowledge
about the places we visited and were very friendly and accommodating. We loved our tour and would highly recommend it to all. The sunset we experienced while on the boat was gorgeous. And swimming in the bioluminescent bay was spectacular—a once in a lifetime experience.

Lovely trip - our guide was very professional and called ahead to confirm all the details, handled a flat tire with ease and got our trip right back on schedule, and shared tons of knowledge on the drive!

The bio bay was gorgeous; not photographable, but being up close and personal swimming in the bay was an incredibly unique experience. Bring goggles to see the bioluminescence under water - the glow is lovely even without, but having some goggles definitely enhanced the experience.

The hot springs were a lovely addition, a great relax/rest break, and watching the sunset was a beautiful photo op.

Overall would recommend. We had a wide age range in our group (grandmother, parents, and kids), and everyone had a wonderful time. We had excellent food, beautiful views, and a very relaxing trip overall.

Our whole family group enjoyed our tour very much! Our guide Cruz was so friendly and willing to share information about Puerto Rico. We were thrilled to see so much more of Puerto Rico on the ride from San Juan to the bay. The hot springs were nice and relaxing. The fish tacos at the restaurant were really good. Captain Frank was also very friendly and informative. Swimming with the bioluminescence was incredible! The water was warm and it was amazing to see all the little sparkles of light! We had group members with mobility issues, and the guides and captains were very patient and helpful. We highly recommend this tour.

This was hands-down one of the most amazing experiences of my life! Our tour guide, Cruz, was friendly, took care of everything, and taught us so much about the history and life of the island. The hot springs were incredible, and the bio-bay swimming was magical. It was also so nice to have the transportation and meal taken care of so we could just focus on making memories!

We had an amazing time! Cruz was excellent and took us to the hot springs, out to dinner, on a boat to the sandbar to swim and then we were had the magical experience of the bioluminescent night swimming. We highly recommend it, and we were thankful for the experience. Cruz also gave us some advice for the next day when we were planning to go to the rainforest, he recommended a local beach and it was amazing. Thanks for an excellent time!

Great tour and Cruz was an excellent tour guide/driver! The hot springs was a quick stop but the main attraction was swimming in the bio bay! Wow! What an incredible experience being surrounded by the glowing flashes from these tiny creatures. It’s like swimming in a luminescent snow globe or among tiny lightning bugs. Awesome experience!

Perfect guide. Great balance on explaining the experience and providing time for us to spend time alone as a family. The bio-bay was well worth the drive.

First we went to the Hot Spring at Coamo. There you can change to your swin clothes and enjoy two pools of natural warm water, with different temperatures each one. It´s very relaxing. It´s a short stop, an then we travel to La Parguera to have our lunch with tacos and a drink (included). We rest a little and went to get into the boats. We were 10 people, and used two boats. The boat went to the Caribeean Sea, and the captain explained to us that the waters there are calm because there is a plateau there. We need to go to a dark place, and usually they don´t do the tour when the moon is Full. The sky began to darken, and we saw a really amazing sky. People from the southern hemisphere can´t see the Ursa Minor and the Polar Star, so I asked the guide to show me where they are, and he did it. Then the people began to get off the boat to swin, and the guide and both the captains told then to swin between the boats, because the water there will be even more dark. The bioluminescence shows when people beat their feet and hands in the water, so they began to sparkle in the water. It´s really a amazing view, and people were enjoying it a lot. As I don´t swin, I stayed looking from the boat, but the guide surprised me. He got a bucket of water so I could play too! It brought tears to my eyes (and it's happening again while writing this). After everyone had a lot of fun, we went back for people to change at the restaurant that we had lunch or at the public bathrooms in front of it, and to head back to San Juan. This tour was with the amazing guide Cruz, with the captains Frank and Carlos. A hundred stars to then!
