Top Fajardo Kayaking Tours

There is no guarantee that there will be bioluminescence, because it's depends on many factors including rain, bacteria, and light pollution. We kayaked out through a mangrove for a km to get there where it was nice and dark. When we got there we were able to see a small amount. We can only imagine how neat it must look on a 10/10 night. Even though we only saw a little, it was still worth every penny. Our tour guides were nice and one let us hold a firefly (lightning bug) and we had good conversations. Shout-out to Eli, Javier, Amaury, and Catalina who were working that day. Great group of people!

We really enjoyed the night kayaking and were rewarded with some glow in the lagoon. We were warned that the glow was not as good right now but we chose to go anyway. No regrets. It was a fun adventure either way and we did get to see enough of the bioluminescence to make it all worth while.

This was a great experience with respectable company! We were supposed to do the 8:45 tour and received a phone call earlier in the day letting us know that due to circumstances out of their control, the bay wasn’t glowing much. They offered a full refund or the ability to keep our time slot or switch to an earlier time to enjoy the sight of the mangroves. We really appreciated the heads up and ultimately decided on the 6:45 tour. The kayak out to the bay was beautiful and well worth the trip! As it got dark, they put us all under large tarps to try and see whatever bioluminescence we could. Unfortunately, kayak on my side of the cluster weren’t able to spot any, but my husband and son did. The journey back through the mangroves in the dark was also beautiful! I’m actually very happy we switched to the earlier time as we were able to experience the journey in both the light and the dark. We’re experienced kayakers (although going tandem was a whole new experience in itself) so I can’t speak much on this experience for new kayakers. We all still received a quick explanation on how to hold and move the paddles, turn, etc. There’s some minor current where you depart/return but not once you get into the mangroves or the bio bay. The beginners in the group seemed to do fine and the one couple that struggled with the heavier current upon return was towed in by one of the guides.
