Bioluminescent Bay Night Kayak Tour was a bust!

2.00I wish I could give it good review, but I couldn't because we had really no Luminescent. The guides were good, but not much of a tour, and did the best they could but Nature is nature. The kayaking was good, but I wished we did the daytime tour instead. It was just too dark, we couldn't see the mangrove tree that we were about to hit the kayak into. We put these dark tarps over us to see the luminescent, but our kayaks were pushed so close together, that I could hardly put my hand in the water to splash. There was some luminescent in the water but not much. One of the guides told me that it is better when the weather is drier, and since we were there in July, the rainy season, that could be the reason. We did have alot of rain that day. Overall, I'm not sure if all tour companies run the same way, but I would not do this tour again at night, especially in the rainy season???
Great family adventure

5.00Great hosts… They take great care of you and interact well the whole experience. The kayak adventure at night is awesome. We had 3 pre-teens with us. Expect to get wet.
A good experience

3.00Nichi, Joe and AJ were awesome. They explained the mangroves and pointed out items. Unfortunately we were not able to see the glowing waters due to the seaweed and other natural weather issues. However, prior to the tour emails were sent by the company advising if this and gave us the option to cancel the excursion for a refund.
Tour is a Scam!!

1.00This company and Bio Bay tour is a complete SCAM!!! They are selling an experience they can’t deliver!! You book a tour for the Bio Bay and at different times of the moon there is ZERO visibility and you get under a tarp with one inch of room if you push the next kayak that you are tied up to splash and to even see a spec of the bioluminescence! This is a complete joke and not worth your money!! When complained and asked for refund the customer service from the manager Alex was absolutely horrible!! And said you are buying a night kayaking!? Even though the description says bio bay? And why would you go kayaking at night?? Unreal!! Then he hung up on me! Great customer service! 👍🏻 Save your money and do NOT book this tour!
The Bio Bay is a must for any trip to Puerto Rico!

5.00Had a wonderful time on the Bio Bay tour. The whole thing was so well organized from beginning to end. There is no better feeling than when your kayak finally passes through the channel and you arrive in the massive bay. It is so peaceful and serene. I could spend hours just sitting on the bay, watching the stars come to life. This was one of the most memorable moments of our entire vacation.
No luminescence on the night we went!

3.00While the night kayaking experience was awesome, there was no observable luminescence on the night we went. You need bright sunshine and no rain for a few days and on the day of your tour to watch the buoluminiscent light. The guides that kayak in front and back of your group are extremely good and care for your safety. You will be kayaking with 50 to 60 kayaks all going in a line through the mangroves in pitch dark. The guides have powerful flashlights and use them when needed. All guides have a light in their back and all kayaks have a light in the tail so you don't have to worry about your safety. Everyone will have to wear a life jacket and you don't have to be an expert to Kayak. A max of two adults and one minor are allowed in one Kayak.
A unique and exciting experience

5.00A unique experience kayaking in the dark, navigating a narrow channel to the lagoon. Seeing the bioluminescence was amazing. The captains were great, very helpful and knowledgeable about the environment and the Bioluminescent phenomenon.
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00We were really looking forward to this trip and even made sure that the moon was in the perfect phase (we went during waning crescent). We were blown away by the illumination of the organisms. Definitely need to see once in your lifetime. We were able to see jellyfish, fish, and run our hands through the water. It was a magical experience and would do it again. The guides explained everything and kept everyone safe. It was a lovely time!
Amazing tour!!

5.00Amazing!!!! We loved the experience. The tour guides were really good and helpful. AJ was extremely nice and assisted us through the whole experience. The experience itself was extremely outstanding. We got to see the “neon light” in the water and it was extremely breathtaking.
Wonderful small group tour

5.00Wonderful tour! I was really fortunate that my group ended up only being three of us compared to other groups I saw there that had a lot of people. It felt much more personalized. Also, I had a rental car, so I met them there instead of getting picked up and was given a really nice discount for that. The guide was great and very informative, and I loved that this group didn't use the bright red lights on the kayaks like other groups - it helped to see the bay so much better. The mangrove was beautiful even in the dark, and the bioluminescence was glowing really well! Highly recommend doing this tour and using this group in particular!
