4.00Highly depends on time of the year along with weather. The Captain Cesar was amazing, really awesome young man. They don't tell you the time so you will need to call. It's also a very small boat.
Good time

5.00solo mom traveling with two young kids (5&8) the crew members were all so kind and helpful. there were no other travelers with us on the boat trip so it was very personal as well. the water was beautiful and warm, i did get stung in the arm by a jellyfish (i’m glad it was me and not one of the kids) but i didn’t make a big deal about it and just mentioned it to the crew when i got back on the boat at the end of the trip and they were quick to help me get vinegar on it and made sure i was okay. they provided water bottles, snacks, and life vests.

Sparkling nighttime boat ride

5.00We had a lovely ride with Arturo and Randy. The bioluminescence was sparkling and they had a few tricks to help us see them more brightly. They were great with the kids and made sure the whole group was safe
We had a great time and driver was friendly and helpful.

4.00The info sent us to the building not the beach so I would suggest to fix that. The life jackets were very uncomfortable- even life vest would be better.
We met a nice couple from...

4.00We met a nice couple from Troy, MI (small world since we are from Plainwell, MI). Our Captain was timely and informative. Communication from the start was also excellent. The bioluminescent experience was great. Splashing produced firefly effects and swimming in the water as it got darker showed the effects better. Suggest to use the bathroom at the gas station before coming since there is nothing there and change into swim gear prior as well or your changing in your car.
Nice quick tour to see one of nature's wonders

5.00Nice boat ride out to the bay to see the luminescent- unfortunately was difficult to see due to moon. We made the most of it though and were able to see some.
A fun adventure with one caveat

4.00The drivers were friendly and helpful (we went out with another group in a second boat). We went out on a rainy and stormy evening so I appreciate them not canceling (we drove from San Juan area). Both boats were small so luckily it was a short boat ride over to the bay. The bioluminescence was really amazing - like you had a sparkles in your hands! (I did get stung by a jellyfish, but it wasn't too bad. Luckily no one else did and I didn't say anything because I didn't want to freak out my kids. Just be aware that it can happen.) The child size life vests were too small for my 9 year olds so they had to wear adult sizes. Also all of ours were the orange vest-type which were not fun to swim in. The other boat had more modern and comfortable ones. Overall a wonderful experience but one star off for the life jacket situation.
