Want a glowing and unforgettable night? This Bio-Bay Kayak Tour is what you need!
On this tour, you will cross a canal inside the nature reserve that is surrounded by various types of mangroves. This protects from strong winds and helps you to paddle easily in peaceful waters.
The best part of this tour is to enjoy the incredible glittering water of the "Big Lagoon"! Tiny bioluminescent organisms called "pyrodiniums bahamenses" are the responsible for this wonder of nature. They produce blue-green light from top to bottom of this bay every time you touch or move the water with your kayak!

The bioluminescent visibility depends on the phases of the moon so be sure to look into that. The whole entire experience was definitely something unforgettable! Williams team of tour guides were great! They were so personable and made sure you were having a good time and were safe the entire way! I'd recommend to anyone who wants an out of the ordinary adventure!

It was a really fun experience, all the guides were helpful and knowledgeable. The bioluminescent wasn’t super visible, but they had us go under a tarp to be able to play with the water. Overall a fun time!

The loved the kayaking trip. It's a unique experience to add to your Puerto Rico itinerary. At first I was nervous about where to meet them given that they do not have a permanent location on the beach. But, they will up in a large truck with their name on the side hauling about 20 bright green kayaks. You can't miss them! The staff is friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this tour.

My wife and I enjoyed the kayak tour through the mangroves into the big lagoon. We had a bright moon our night so it was more difficult to see the bioluminescence. Great staff and fun evening!

Sooooo cool kayaking at night through the mangroves. Getting to the bay was almost as amazing as seeing the planktons glowing. Only thing that was bad were that other members in our group were super loud and wouldn't stop talking. Kind of ruined it a little. The rules even said be quiet in the reserve but it was not enforced. Staff is very knowledgeable.

I tried to cancel my tour and they would not let me because the weather looks as if it is going to storm and rain. Reservation lbs were for a night kayak experience, and it not safe and refused to give me a refund or even a partial refund. I guess my safety is not important but the money is after the waiver clearly says they are not held responsible for anything .
