  First of all I would say given the conditions the experience was great! Before booking I had seen that the bioluminescence is not very bright during the month of October, so I had realistic expectations. Our instructors Emily and Joe were great! They were very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was together. We could not see a lot of the bioluminescence, but our instructors gave us a tarp to go under where we could see the bioluminescence better. In addition to this, they also pointed out wildlife on the trip. Overall a very cool experience to kayak through the Puerto Rican channel at night, even if the bioluminescence wasn’t at its peak. Also be aware there is no flash photography, so it’s not really a photo opp and more of an experience.

  

• Fun night trip through mangroves to the luminescent lagoon

  A group of eight of us who attended a conference locally decided to go kayaking to see the luminescent lagoon. Everything went great and the team taking care of us was caring and cooperative with regard to pickup location, taking care of our belongings during the kayaking etc. Our guides were knowledgeable and funny and kept us safe and entertained, and our whole group (ages 22-64) had an enchanting experience.

• I wish the Bioluminescent phenomenon had been more intense but whatever, it was a great adventour.

  The crew was wonderful! We had a great time, they made us laugh and put us at ease. Shout out to Emily and Hymie! The only reason I am leaving 4 instead of 5 stars is because we didn't see any bioluminescence. Not the fault of the wonderful crew, of course...but in the name of honesty, that part was a bust. Still a fun family activity...the kayaking in the dark. 😊

• Great kayaking experience and lack of communication

  Tour was very smooth but the tour company did not inform us that they have not seen the Bioluminecent in last 4 months! We understand it is a natural phenomena and weather condition can affect your sighting, but I felt that the tour operator should have informed us. The whole experience of Kayaking at night was really nice and the tour guides where very helpful in guiding everything.

  We had a good time tour the bioluminescent Bay in La Paguera with Johnny and Gina's boat tours. The boat ride out to the bay in the dark was enjoyable, and swimming with the plankton and seeing them light up was thrilling. I got stung by a jellyfish but our tour guide had vinegar handy which made it feel better and heal quickly. It was definitely a first and new experience! Highly recommend the tour if you are in the area.

  Unique experience. Emily and the crew were awesome. The rain, kayaking in the dark with glowing splashes is so memorable.

  This was a lovely experience. The pick up near our hotel in San Juan, although 30 mins late, was a key factor in our choice of this vendor. Once at the embarkation point about an hour away, we had a pretty good orientation, but it would have been helpful to know about the large fish that jump frequently in the shallow channel. The guides at the back of the line really don't need to yell out turns, since every Kayak follows the one ahead, and we were asked to be silent during the trip. Cupping the bioluminescent water in our hands and shaking it was pretty cool.

  Our bus driver, Rupert was very good, funny, and informative about interesting highlights en route to Fajardo. The kayak guides were great, knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The kayak tour through the stunning mangrove canal, then into the bay filled with brilliant stars overhead and glowing microorganisms in the water was MIND BLOWING - WE LOVED IT!!!
