Our kayaks are all tandem kayaks for two people - you are booking per person not per kayak. If one space is left, that means there is 1 space on a tandem kayak.

Guest under 18 yrs of age must be accompanied by an adult.

The owner of the service animal must provide a Licensed Life-vest by the Coast Guard for the animal. The animal must be in total control all the time. Keep in mind that there will be many people around in the dark.

Guest that are not able to complete the tour for any reason will not be provided a refund of any type.

All guests must be able to row their kayaks by themselves. One of the requirements is that you are able to get in and out of the kayak on your own and be able to maneuver it. If you are an unexperienced kayaker we highly suggest you choose the earlier tour.

If one space is left, that means there is 1 space (for 1 person) on a tandem kayak (No single kayaks available). You will be accompanied by another guest on the tour.

All guest must arrive 30 mins before the start of their tour. We respectfully will not accept or wait for any guest after this time.

If necessary, a tarp (canopy) may be used during the excursion to block any light pollution and enhanced the experience.

In order to best appreciate the bioluminescent phenomena our tours run at sunset and early evening and it can get quite dark in the mangrove canal. So, if you are afraid of darkness, a first time kayaker, or have small kids we strongly suggest taking the earlier, sunset trip. This way you can see where you are going, get use to the environment and sharpen your kayaking skills

Due to the immense popularity the Bio Bay tour, at times can get crowded. It’s not uncommon to meet up with other tour groups waiting to access the canal leading to the lagoon. There can be bumping other kayaks along the way.

Please keep in mind that this tour takes place in a natural environment and that the bioluminescent phenomenon, although rare, can be seen year round. The intensity of brightness is unpredictable and can vary from minimal to very bright suddenly.

SPECIAL NOTE: We encourage our guests to not reserve the tour on the same day of arrival to the Island, including coming from Vieques or Culebra. If the FLIGHT or FERRY is delayed and the guest misses the tour the guest will not be entitled to a refund or rescheduling.

TOUR TIME might change depending on sunset time. If so we will send a reminder for updated meeting time.

This tour takes place in the water. Expect to get completely wet. Wear clothes and shoes that can get wet. We recommend to bring a change of clothes and towel for after the trip.

Tour is not canceled in rainy days. We will get wet anyways ;)

There are public bathrooms on-site, but they are not always in good condition. You may consider stopping in fast food before getting to the meeting site or using the bathrooms from the nearby stores/restaurants which are sometimes available.

Certain time of the year great amounts of sargassum (seaweed) arrive to our coasts. This can make paddling to feel like a workout. Also the natural decomposition odor might be unpleasant.

    The bioluminescent bay kayak was a great experience for sure. I would definitely do it again with the same tour group, we did not get to see so much of the phenomenon due to the moon phase, so I would come back and plan a trip with the right moon phase to really experience it. But the tour guides were very funny and nice and easy to follow. My only complaint is that there is like 6 different companies at the same time kayaking and we kept crashing into the other groups, a bit of an overcrowding problem. But other than that it was really fun. And definitely do not recommend to beginner kayakers since it will be really dark you can barely see

  • Great experience!

    My wife loved it. Tour guides were very kind and knowledgeable. The bioluminescence wasn't that good that night but they were prepared with a black tarp so we could have the experience. We had a great time, thank you all.

    I had a lovely experience! It started a little rough due to personal challenges but it went very smooth thanks to the tour guides Amaury and Javi! They towed us through the water 🥲 All the tour guides are very friendly and super funny! David had some jokes! Overall I would rebook with them and don’t hesitate to book if your not experienced because the tour guides will always try to help those in need ❤️ 10/10

  • Beautiful view amazing staff!

    Although we didn't get to see anything light up because of the moon, the guides made up for it. They were so sweet! We ran into a tree right away and they connected us to their boat we called it a "handicap sticker" and everyone thought that was the funniest thing ever 🤣 the sunset was beautiful and it was all around a great time! 10/10 recommend! Amavry, yadiel, Javier, Michael, and Catalina. Thank y'all so much! From the moment we got there with so many questions to the smart comments y'all were so great! If we come back to Puerto Rico we will definitely be back!

    We had a great experience with Yadiel, Javier, Eli, David, and Catalina. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The crew had the perfect balance of keeping everyone safe, but making sure to stay out of sight so folks could enjoy the experience themselves. Eli was amazing in giving us a lesson on the science behind it all. Our son (10) is an aspiring marine biologist, and Eli took time after the tour to speak with him. We really appreciated that. I highly recommend this place.
