Well,people, whether you see lots of bioluminescents or just a small amount of glow this is not to be missed! This is a FUN time!! We chose KayakingPuertoRico for event, We checked the moon schedule to pick the... More

A not to be missed adventure! You can go by an electric boat or by kayaks. It is important to book early because it does get sold out quickly. We recommend Pure Adventures Kayaks and Captain Charlie with BioBay Electric Boat

Went with my wife on June 15. We did the Bioluminescent Bay in Fajardo with Puerto Rick Kayaking. Absolutely beautiful, and a must do (possibly also the Bioluminescent Bay in Vieques, as both are protected). We took the early tour so we could see the mangroves, route, and the animal life (we saw a Puerto Rican Boa hanging out on... More

Try Bioislandpr.com for a great tour experience on this. It was excellent and a great way to learn about what's going on in the Mangrove and the bay

We were a bit late on scheduling, so were not able to get room on one of the electric boats. However, I am glad we did the kayaking trip, as it was an adventure from the get go. We went on the earlier tour (6:30pm) and I am grateful we took the earlier spot as the views of the mangrove... More

Baby Bay Crusing lagoon via their electric boat was best. We have young kids and could not imagine knocking around in the dark on a kayak for a 30 min trip into the mangrove trees. This is a fascinating and highly educational tour! Will do again!

This was incredible! My husband and I visited PR in April (I know, I'm late writing this!) and we wanted to do one excursion. I am a biologist, so I was very excited to see this! Him..not so much :) We kayaked through a mangrove tunnel to get to the lagoon which was INCREDIBLE. It was so dark and all... More

Absolutely a unique experience a must do.Natural phenomenon turns seawater electric neon blue It may look like an alien life form, but this striking neon blue effect is a completely natural phenomenon.

Kayaking through the mangroves at night and experiencing bio-luminescence was a magnificent experience and I am SO glad we did it, despite the mixed reviews. Expectation setting: - Do expect a beautiful journey through mangroves into the bay. - Do expect to see bio-luminescence, even on the early kayak tour. There are two tours each night. One leaves before sunset... More
