This is one adventure not to be missed while in Puerto Rico! Join this fully-guided nighttime BioBay kayak adventure into one of the most amazing excursions of your life. Paddle your way through the mystical mangrove channels leading to “Laguna Grande” in a two seater kayak along with the companionship of the amazing tour guides. After kayaking for 30 minutes you will arrive to the lagoon where you will meet our glowing friends, the Pyrodinium Bahamense, microscopic plankton capable of producing natural light at the touch of your hand (like fireflies)! Explore these amazing organisms up close as our professional eco-guide takes you to discover all its secrets. Learn how this fragile and unique ecosystem maintains a perfect balance of life and learn what you can do to protect such a special place. After spending an approximate 30 minutes at the bay, we will head back thru the same mangrove channel we came in.

    Our famous two-hour bio bay kayak tour includes interesting interpretations of the reserve’s fragile ecology, star constellations, and a fascinating encounter with billions of bioluminescent organisms. Watch how every stroke of your paddle leaves behind a glowing swirl of blue light and fish light up their path like shooting stars in the water. The adventure to Laguna Grande can only be described as magical, creating memories that will last a lifetime! In order to best appreciate the bioluminescent phenomena, our tours run at sunset and early evening and it can get quite dark in the mangrove canal. Please be aware of this if you are afraid of darkness, a first-time kayaker, or have small kids. Please keep in mind that this tour takes place in a natural environment and that the bioluminescent phenomenon, although rare, can be seen year-round. The intensity of brightness is unpredictable and can vary.

We did this tour on January 30, 2025. This tour was a bit underwhelming. If you have never kayaked before it can be difficult to learn on your first try and keep up. You basically are kayaking 1.5 miles each way to get to the lagoon. Once at the lagoon you are asked to put your kayak side by side with your group. They will hand you jellyfish that light up in your hand with a gentle squeeze or splashing it with water which is cool. However, the actual light in the water is very hard to see. They had to put a tarp over us to actually see it, and all it looks like is sparks when splashing water. It doesn’t happen every time you splash the water but you will see a spark. So it was a bit underwhelming. Your guides were good, just wasn’t worth the money.

We scheduled for a pickup at our hotel for 3:30. About noon, we received an email that the pickup was rescheduled for 5:30. The van finally arrived close to 6:30. We had an orientation and set off for the channel to the bay. It was a moonless night and very dark. We could not see a thing in the curvy channel and lost the boat in front of us. We crashed into the mangos and had to be towed out by one of the guides. We met a party boat in the channel and was almost run over by it. We finally reached the bay where the experience was finally enjoyed. We wondered why head lamps are not used during the paddle to the bay? It seemed dangerous to be in that channel in the darkness especially when we came upon the party boat. It seems Viator is run by inexperienced, incompetent people with no concern given to your customers' schedules, or abilities to paddle kayaks through a dark canal. Safety is not addressed although we were required to wear a life jacket. I woulde not recommend Viator to anyone.

The staff was great but there were so many companies that it got a little confusing. They provided mosquito repellent but we still got eaten alive. That being said, the company was great with their communications ahead of time. They explained that the bioluminescence is a natural phenomena and they have not control over it. However, it was beautiful to watch the water sparkle with every paddle and splash. I would definitely recommend this experience but use the strongest mosquito repellent you can buy.
