What an AMAZING experience!!! The Bio Bay Tour was simply an extraordinary experience for our family and friends. From check in to the whole touring , and all in between, was great. Highly recommended with this company. Javier made our experience excellent!

The experience was truly exceptional, characterized by remarkable natural beauty. The simultaneous observation of bioluminescence and celestial bodies presented an extraordinary privilege. The water temperature was agreeable, and our guide, Luis, provided invaluable assistance.

    We went during the 6:30 pm time-slot and had a wonderful experience! Ivan was our guide and he was great! The trip was informational and was well worth it. We were in a group of four, so it was simple to divide us into two different kayaks. Trip took about an hour and a half, start to finish. We were able to see incredible bioluminescence in the water and also an amazing star view. Would absolutely do it again!

    Clear kayaks is the way to go! You can see the tiny plankton underneath as your husband rows :D. There is so much to enjoy! Time goes by so fast!!

    A must do

    AMY_G, Jul 2026
    This was truly the highlight of our trip to PR. It was the most unique and beautiful experience. We felt safe with our guides and the water was magical. Luiz was our main guide and he was terrific. He was funny, informational and you can see that he truly loves what he does. The entire process worked like a well-oiled machine. They were so organized and on time. It was perfect! Thank you for the unforgettable experience.

    Worth the trip! Beautiful memories.

    Dawn_W, Jul 2026
    Beautiful, WORTH IT, great fun, and a little gross. 10 out 10 for stars, clear canoes and experiencing the bio-bay. You need a cab to get there from the pier (other side of the island). Customer service was responsive for questions. English or Spanish option for tour guides, and they made it fun showing/explaining the constellations. Water was so warm and a truly cool experience with the bioluminescence- better than any other bay I’ve been to. The gross part: it had rained, we had to be barefoot to wade through funky, mirky, leafy water before getting into the canoes - everything the internet told me not to do. BUT it was all amazing and we had a great birthday in the bay for my tween

    This was my second time...

    Dane_G, Jul 2026
    This was my second time kayaking the bio bay in Vieques but my first time with clear bottom kayaks and it is TOTALLY WORTH IT! Incredibly bright bioluminescence, and being able to look through the kayak was amazing. It was like we were sailing through the stars. 100% recommend, especially this tour company.

    Experience was awesome....

    Apoorva_M, Jul 2026
    Experience was awesome. Team was pretty vigilant, helpful and kind. The additional general knowledge is the mail highlight I would vouch for

    Great

    GraceM_V, Jul 2026
    Great and beautiful experience. Amazing service and the bay is magical. Loved it and will come back again

    Not as described

    Venu_K, Jul 2026
    We didn’t see any glowing things during the tour, which was disappointing because that was the main reason we booked. The experience was still organized well, but it did not deliver the highlight advertised on the site.

    Spellbinding Night

    Iris_M, Jun 2026
    It was a beautiful experience with an added legend and history lesson! Beautiful skies and a quick Astronomy lesson- Gorgeous and once in a lifetime❤️

    You have to see it to believe it

    Monica_T, Jun 2026
    Amazing! You have to see it to believe it. I couldn’t get pictures to capture it but the water really does light up like in the pictures. We went as close to a new moon as possible to optimize the experience, our time slot was the 22:30 option. Luis was our guide. He was funny and welcoming, even took the time to go over constellations in the sky. He and his team were efficient and helpful. We will definitely try to come back again!

    Mosquito Bay Tour

    Magdarys_C, Jun 2026
    The bioluminescence was so bright and gorgeous. Our guide Javier was wonderful. We were a group of 3 and he took our third person with him on his canoe. He was a complete sweetheart with her and was just an all around great guide. Even took pictures for us. Highly recommend!

    Fabulous experience

    Gladys_A, Jun 2026
    Javier was the best tour guide ever! First and foremost he was very clear and gave us a lot of information about the bio bay. He helped us understand why is it so important to take care of that bio bay due to the microorganisms that make the bio bay glow up. He was amazing, attentive, patient and made sure if we had any questions they were answered. He took pictures of us and sent them right away. I want to come back just because I had such an amazing experience. When I come back to PR I’ll def will be doing this activity with them and will ask for Javier to be our tour guide. ¡Javier fue el mejor guía turístico! Para empezar, fue muy claro y nos dio muchísima información sobre la bahía bioluminiscente. Nos ayudó a entender por qué es tan importante cuidarla debido a los microorganismos que la hacen brillar. Javier fue increíble, atento, paciente y se aseguró de que todas nuestras preguntas fueran respondidas. Nos tomó fotos y nos las envió enseguida. Quiero volver solo porque tuve una experiencia maravillosa. Cuando regrese a Puerto Rico, sin duda haré esta actividad con ellos y pediré que Javier sea nuestro guía.

    Amazing experience

    jay_V, Jun 2026
    Awesome experience just remember to lean back against the poles or your back will be hurting.i realized the pole was thier hafe way across the bay.

    Very bad ,

    Scott_S, May 2026
    Very bad , the guy that took us out set and watched videos of chicken fighting the whole time. Very little to no communication with us . I run a bob onPR and will definitely not use this tour group again!!! Very disappointed

    Mosquito Bay kayak tour

    Katrina_S, May 2026
    The Mosquito Bay tour was beautiful and we enjoyed it very much. Be prepared to wade through seaweed to get into the kayaks. It is a strange and smelly but short trip. Once in your kayak and out to where the bioluminescence becomes brighter it is amazing! I recommend going on a dark night for sure! The guides were friendly and spoke English ad well.

    It was amazing. Really...

    Sofia_V, May 2026
    It was amazing. Really enjoyable. Seeing the lights in the water was unique and the stars were breathtaking. It was a spectacle in the water and in the sky as well. Luis our tour guide was great and knew a lot of interesting facts.

    Magical

    Connor_H, May 2026
    Our guide Luis had great information and hilarious jokes. The staff was professional and organized, including our driver Torres. We didn't feel rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the glow and stars. It was bright, as we went the day after the new moon. You go in groups of two so one of us shared with another group, which worked out perfectly. Thanks for a great experience!

    Great experience and very...

    Ysabel_P, May 2026
    Def worth it! Everyone was super nice. we were late and missed our spot but they were able to get us in for a later group. Very grateful for that, it was dope.

    Luis is great!

    Jessie_M, May 2026
    Amazing tour! 1000% recommend. Luis was so bubbly, friendly and knowledgeable. Massive shout out to him for being so energetic and telling us about the history and stars!

    Make sure to let people know ahead of time if they book with you guys to confirm, and it might not be instantly because

    Yuelma_O, May 2026
    I had a really bad experience I ended up showing up early to my second booking just for them to tell me they don't have space for me and my partner and the kids and they had originally canceled my booking, because technically, they said it wasn't confirmed yet. I had already got the money from my bank account took it out and I just wanted to see if I've eligible for either refund because I spend money on Barry for me and my family also ended up getting charged twice canceled while I was on the ferry and you guys also canceled physically in person because it was full and they had no more space available for us I wanted to see if I can get a refund. If not, if I can also get another date and reservation. Also with a refund for one of the other ones because I have an autistic kid who was really Waiting for This and you guys really made him upset on the fairy. Even after I tried booking us another another spot.

    bioluminescence in Vieques

    Jorge_C, May 2026
    This was such a fun adventure! The guides provided clear, helpful instructions that made kayaking easy. Make sure to leave your sandals behind and dress to get wet. The glowing bioluminescence and the starry sky were truly breathtaking!

    Definitely worth the see...

    James_G, May 2026
    Definitely worth the see through canoes, the bioluminescent is a sight to see definitely need to put it on the to do's.

    Fun trip to do once. Safe and unique.

    MikeAndJoyce_D, Apr 2026
    This is a quick trip, 1.5 hours counts in travel time coming and going (on a very bumpy dirt road) and time in the kayak. We were told to leave our shoes and totebag/towel as you have to wade into the water to get into the kayak and the bottom of the boat is wet. You will sit on the bottom of the kayak in the water. The water "glows", when stirred by your hand or the oar, but not when the boat floats thru it. as shown in the ad. Guide was interesting and made sure we stayed together and did not get lost in the dark. Fun trip to do once.

    Biobay tour with minimum moonlight made our visit even more better bioluminescent experience with a clear Canoe.

    Amazing experience with...

    Zane_V, Apr 2026
    Amazing experience with Adventure Vieques. They provided transportation from Esperanza to Mosquito bay where we took off in the kayaks. The clear kayaks allowed us to see the bioluminescence from underneath which was very cool. Our tour guide, Ivan, did a great job ensuring information and instructions were given to everyone (repeating everything in English and Spanish). Overall, an amazing experience!

    Great experience on a new moon, but wet smelly vans

    Alex_P, Apr 2026
    Clear bottom is definetly worth it. Try to book on a night or at a time without the moon. Wear pants that you are ok getting wet. I wish this company had seats in their kayaks because i ended up sitting in an inch of water. Another company had seats in the kayaks that were clear bottom. I bet their vans don’t smell as bad if their clients aren’t getting soaked for the ride back!
