Horrible Experience

1.00Very disappointing and unsafe experience. We booked the 8 PM slot, but were asked to switch to 6:30 PM. The crew gave no proper kayak or safety instructions, and their behavior was horrible. Instead of helping or encouraging us in the dark and windy conditions, one instructor kept rushing us and saying, “Move guys, we are getting late.” My husband’s kayak seat also came loose, and we were turned back before seeing the bioluminescent bay. I would not recommend this tour, especially for beginners. Better to take an electric boat tour instead.

Could have been awesome

3.00What could have been an awesome experience was honestly underwhelming. Our “guide” (and other staff) provided very little information and limited guidance. We were shuffled into the van, out of the van, into/out of kayaks and back into the van with minimal conversation. I could hear other tour groups and guides that were more interactive. We asked a few simple questions, and our guide wasn’t able to answer some of them- I don’t know if he understood. The little that he did speak included him criticizing my children who were very well behaved and repeatedly calling them “boy” and “girl.” After about 45 minutes he stopped and said- over there is where it is better but we’re not going there (with no further explanation). Overall, a weird experience that could and should have been much better for the cost and the awesome environment. I would recommend a similar experience, but not through this company and most definitely not our guide.

5.00This was absolutely fantastic! The experience was so so good!! Highly recommend. Also, we had a mostly full moon and you could still see it, but when a cloud almost entirely shut out the moon’s light it was vibrant! If you can, visit when there is not much moonlight. The darker the better!
Wonderful tour with Dindin's!!

5.00This was a wonderful tour. Our tour guide ensured that even though we booked on a nearly full moon, we were able to see the bioluminescence with his very creative cover. If you can, try to book on a new moon so you can see it the whole time. Our guide showed us the entrance to the bay, discussed salinity of the water, explained what makes the bioluminescence, and showed us planets and constellations in both English and Spanish. The kayaks were in good working order and we were all provided with life jackets and paddles. You should be able to paddle, steer, and stop your kayak. Our guide kept his pace slow enough that even the beginners in the group were able to keep up.
Fantastic tour

5.00Highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was lovely. Even though the moon was very bright the night of our tour, our guide used a cover to show us the stunning glowing microorganisms. You have to experience it to know it.
Tarp ?!

1.00It wasn’t great! No real bioluminescence to see without a plastic tarp they put us all under to view 😳 this is definitely a more budget operator
Beautiful but dissapointing experience.

3.00We were looking forward to this trip and planned it months in advance to be there on a dark night. At the meet up point we were told the tour was overbooked. Because we booked months earlier and had our daughter with us, we didn't want to reschedule. They ended up putting the three of us (all nearly 6 feet tall) into one kayak that did not have a clear bottom. We were cramped and I felt like we could capsize at any time. The bay was cool, but there were so many boats and other groups that it was hard to know where to go. I'd love to go next time we are there but would book directly through a guide so we knew we'd have a clear boat and a boat that could fit us.
Very enjoyable!

4.00The guides were very accommodating. They were even kind enough to give our whole group a ride to the ferry terminal since we were all going to the same place. The people in the green store won’t know what you’re talking about because a lot of tours meet there. Just wait out front on the sidewalk until a van pulls up and confirm they’re with Dindin Tours. Note: don’t expect to be able to catch much on camera because it’s hard to catch the effect, just enjoy the experience. If you take the earlier tour, you will only see the start of the bioluminescent effect. It really started to get going when we were headed back in. Next time, we will make sure to book a place on the island overnight and take a later tour. It would have made the ferry and SUV rentals all easier too. Lots of taxi options on ur island. If you’re taking the ferry to Vieques, you need to be at the terminal at least an hour before if you don’t have tickets already, and a half hour before if you do. A lot of people came a different day to buy the tickets they needed, since they couldn’t get them online anymore, but it made sure they had tickets. We missed getting tickets and had to fly out, which was fine too.
