Great guides

5.00The staff was very friendly, from check in, to instructions, suiting up and guiding through the channel to the lagoon. They were very patient even when some paddlers were a little out of control. The moon was shining bright that evening so viewing the glow in the water was difficult. But a large tarp was provided to block out the light of the moon so we could see the plankton luminate the water when you splashed around underneath it. My experience with the bioluminescent lagoon was subpar but it was fun to paddle through the dark. I would do it again and pray for less (moon)light pollution.

5.00The bioluminescence was so cool. There was a half moon which was pretty bright so we used tarps when we got to Laguna Grande because it allowed us to see the glow better. As we were kayaking through the channel, the coverage from the mangroves made it darker and we could see the glow in the water as we paddled. Our tour guides Neeche AJ and Joe were great. Definitely an experience everyone should see while in Puerto Rico!
Great experience

5.00The weather was questionable but it ended up great! The water was warm so not an issue to get wet. Joe was an amazing help since we struggled to keep up. He attached to our kayak and helped us finish the trip!

5.00AJ was amazing tug boating us due to our pour driving skills! Cool experience, a little overpriced for what it was though.
The kayaking was easy but some people had difficulty with steering. The mangrove was amazing!

4.00The biolumesence kayak was a good trip but there was cloud cover and our guide explained that light pollution affects how luminescent the microorganisms are on a particular night.
Enjoyed the experience
