Extremely fun. I did the tour with my two college age daughters. We all loved it. Feels like you are going on an adventure. The guides are very enthusiastic. Make sure to have a meal a few hours prior as you will be doing a lot of rowing. Would recommend to take a 6:30 tour rather than 8:30 for several reasons. You get to see the sunset and breathtaking views. It is also easier to get a hang of your kayak during the daylight.

10/10 experience kayaking through the mangrove and seeing the bioluminescent plankton. Definitely take the night tour.

You paddle your way to the lagoon what is a good exercise on itself. The bioluminescent waters are a unique once in a lifetime experience. The guides Eloy, William,Jonathan and Jester are a great team.

It was fun to kayak in the dark but it was a mile and a half in each direction. It was fine but we didn’t know it would be that much kayaking.
Debi_M, Mar 2026
The brightness of the water is variable, this was my 8th or 9th trip on the bay and there was just a little sparkle. I have gone where the sparkle is magical. The sky is always beautiful so if you look at it as a cool night kayaking experience you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful experience. Loved kayaking at night and seeing the dynothingies. Guides were friendly and checking on people to ensure things run smoothly. This experience is something very unique.
My advice for people considering this activity (regardless of tour company) is that there are too many companies and kayaks doing this tour, and it does get overcrowded. Think kayaks bumping into each other, going very slow as the group goes as slow as the slowest kayak. Just be mentally prepared that it will be crowded, but regardless, will still be an amazing experience.

This was my favorite experience of my whole trip! I was concerned about having to kayak solo since I did the experience by myself but was able to partner with Williams one of the guides and we had the absolute best time. Once in a lifetime tour of the bio bay.

It was fun Kayaking through the trees and the bioluminescence was cool, not what the pictures look like, much less intense however it was neat! There was major traffic getting there and it put our travels back 40 minutes and we got there a few minutes past the top date, everyone wa gone already but after convincing them we already knew how to kayak they let us quickly jump on a kayak and catch up so we were SO grateful after spending and hour and a half driving there. So I would have REALLY appreciated an option for pick up and drop off because people like us staying an hour away dont know about the extra 40minutes travel planning time for traffic and it jsut makes things so much easier to have transportation available as an option. But besides that they were really super nice and it was really fun, just dont expect a light up show in the water its not that spectacular but I think its worth it, I haven't seen it before so it was neat!

We had a three person kayak that had no back rest for the people in front. The kayak took on water and we were sitting in nearly 4 inches of water the entire trip there. We had to switch kayaks at the bay. It was an extremely uncomfortable experience with very poor quality kayaks. The bio luminescence was interesting, but not worth the discomfort there and back. We love to kayak so this was not our first experience.
Zoe_M, Mar 2026
Was so much fun!! Be prepared to kayak AGAINST the current on the way to Bio Bay, but it’ll be a nice cruise on the way back. Guides were very helpful and informative, it was a great night time experience
Brenda_O, Mar 2026
Such an incredible experience! We are so glad we
did this tour while we were in Puerto Rico! We went on the 8:30 pm tour and it was perfect!
Paul_S, Mar 2026
It was a very awesome experience! The only thing I would suggest is sharing the waiver before booking wherein you sign your life away.
Eric_B, Mar 2026
This was fantastic and well worth the cost! We took the 8:00 slot on a dark and rainy night. The staff were exceptional, expertly guiding us through the forest and keeping us together amidst several other groups. The bio bay was magical—we could see sparkles with every sweep of the oar! We will remember this one forever!!
This is a 1 1/2 hour tour with a few miles of kayaking in generally smooth water. Medium effort but maximum memories and fun!
Adam_W, Mar 2026
Awesome group of guys who clearly love what they do. The experience was amazing, my fiance and I will definitely be back.
Robert_W, Mar 2026
We had a great time and it was a unique opportunity to experience one of nature’s true phenomenon.
Be prepared for an upper body workout, and be sure to bring a towel and dry clothes because you WILL get wet.
The guides were wonderful!!! Williams shared a lot of interesting information and Eloi is along for comedy relief!! Everyone is really helpful and they make it a fun experience.
If we ever comeback to PR, we’ll be doing another bio tour!!!
Lori_C, Mar 2026
Guides are great! Later night one is best for seeing the bioluminescence! You will get wet! Very great experience!
Clara_S, Mar 2026
The tour was great. The guide is friendly and knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed myself and my partner had so much fun.
Elizabeth_W, Mar 2026
Super fun experience with amazing guides! You do get wet, especially if it’s windy, so be prepared for that.
Adela_S, Mar 2026
Be sure and wear clothes that can get wet. I was afraid I would be cold but I had shorts on and a rain jacket just in case I got wet. You do get wet sitting in the kayak. The guides were exceptional!
Tammi_S, Feb 2026
Very fun! I was a little nervous about kayaking in the dark, but it was super cool and easy to follow the lights on the kayaks. Highly recommend this experience. The night was bright so it didn’t give us as much lights to see in the water.
Carrie_L, Feb 2026
The guides were fun, friendly and helpful to the others that were struggling to get their kayaks paddling!
Rosy_S, Feb 2026
We had a great experience on the bioluminescent kayaking tour in Puerto Rico. The guides were very friendly and helpful.
Kayaking in the dark felt scary at first, but they stayed close and helped us the whole time whenever we lost direction.
William was a great leader. Jonathan was also very kind. When we got lost, he connected our kayak to his and pulled us halfway, which really helped us feel comfortable.
The tour felt safe, well organized, and unforgettable. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Puerto Rico.
Rose_B, Feb 2026
This experience was absolutely wonderful. The tour leaders made us feel very knowledgeable and prepared for the kayaking expectations and safety requirements. I was very impressed by how well we were able to communicate as a group and follow directions to get out to the bay safely. Once we were through the beautiful mangroves, we were able to experience the bioluminescence in the bay. Being that there was a new moon, we were able to see the microorganisms extremely well. The team leaders also brought a tarp, which we all put on top to make it very dark. All team leaders were extremely kind and helpful. They made the experience very fun and exciting. I would highly recommend this group and this experience to anyone. We had youngsters on our tour and they had no problem. Be sure to tip your team leaders as they do a really good job.
Jamie_N, Feb 2026
Amazing experience! The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. The bioluminescent bay was indescribable. Would definitely recommend!
P_M, Feb 2026
Kayaking thru the mangroves was cool enough but the bioluminescence experience was even better. The guides were fun, kind to relatively inexperienced kayakers, and shared great info. Go with them!
Karol_J, Feb 2026
This is a bit of a workout but several “seniors” in our group rocked the experience. The guides were very informative and knowledgeable. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Mauri_R, Feb 2026
Once in a life time experience! The guides were very knowledgeable and fun! We had a great time! Thank you!
Angelina_Y, Jan 2026
A fun night on the Bio Bay! The staff was absolutely amazing, super friendly, patient, and genuinely excited to share the experience. Huge shoutout to William, whose big muscles and calm confidence were literal lifesavers when we struggled with navigation. He jumped in without hesitation and made us feel safe and supported the whole time. The team’s energy, knowledge, and kindness turned a beautiful tour into a truly special memory. Highly recommend this night kayak adventure, Wepa!
Bella_E, Jan 2026
Try to go when the moon is least visible! Being at least a little experienced at kayaking would be very helpful
Larry_C, Jan 2026
The staff was very polite and professional. I believe they did everything they could to give us the experience however, nature didn’t work with us. Just a long and fun Kayak ride.
