“We had a great time with George on the La Parguera Bioluminescent Bay tour. We got off to a slow start due to the weather/traffic delays but once we saw the glowing water of the bay it was completely worth it! Such a magical experience with seeing the water glow around you and watching sparkling blue diamonds fall off your skin when you raise your arms up out of the water. George has a great sense of humor and was a very good tour guide. He was kind enough to take pictures for us to memorialize our experience which was greatly appreciated. Captain Luis did a great job with guiding…”

Night kayak in Puerto Rico’s Laguna Grande mangroves with transport from San Juan, bioluminescent plankton, and guided eco-adventure.
“Pros: transportation offered and convenient, air conditioned too. Organized and very friendly service. Kayaking felt safe and was not super vigorous. Guides informative Cons. Bit buggy when not moving both on land and in the water. Transport was an hour and a bit bumpy. We’d never done anything like this so we didn’t know what to expect. In my head I’m picturing a glowing bay. Apparently the bioluminescence doesn’t happen unless you agitate the water so you only see it when you paddle or put your hand in to move the water around. Still quite cool. Be aware it is VERY dark especially on the way back. We liked that…”
