Amazing experience but rude guide

2.00Quite honestly, I’m very disappointed I can’t write a raving review like everyone else that’s recently posted. We were the last group of the evening and other than Lori, the other guides (Chris and Brian) were not friendly at all. And Francisco(possibly incorrect name but had long blond curly hair) was mean, unpleasant and rude. I honestly wish we could rate each guide individually as I would give Lori a 10 out of 10. The experience itself was amazing and I would highly encourage people to do the Bioluminescence Bay in Laguna Grande but I would suggest using a different company.
Great night experience

5.00We had so much on the bio bay kayak tour in Fajardo. The staff was helpful, informative and kind. We are beginner kayakers and we were a little nervous going in to a night kayak adventure. Thanks to the staff those nerves were put to rest. Nothing scary about it. We would definitely do this again!
Great kayaking excursion and very informational!

5.00We had a great time on the kayaks with Laurie, Chris, Francisco and Brian. I had only ever kayaked a few times before, so I was a bit nervous given that we were kayaking up and down a 1 mile channel, but the staff provided a comprehensive overview of kayaking techniques before the tour, which was very helpful. I also really enjoyed the informational section when we were on the water, as Laurie explained the science behind the bioluminescence and showed us some constellations. I would recommend this tour to anyone in the Fajardo area, or in general visiting Puerto Rico. This is one of five locations in the whole world that features the glow year-round; it’s a very special thing to witness. You don’t want to miss out!
Night kayak a must do
