Please read carefully for all safety requirements and limitations for this tour before booking. This is a moderate to strenuous activity that may not be suitable for everyone. If you're seeking an active way to experience Puerto Rico's native environment, seize the opportunity with this combo adventure from San Juan! It includes a nature hike that will lead you to amazing natural pools, a waterfall, and waterslides, followed by a nighttime kayaking tour on the bioluminescent bay. These two natural wonders provide a fascinating look at the island's ecology. You will also enjoy an authentic Puerto Rican lunch between both activities to enhance your cultural experience (food cost not included in tour price).

  • Panamerican Pier
  • El Yunque National Forest, Caribbean
    Get adventurous, get muddy and get off the paved trail! Hike to explore different zones of the rain forest and enjoy beautiful views, natural pools and the Atlantic Ocean. Once we arrive to the skirts of El Yunque we will start with a 25-30 minute journey on a river-wading and rock scaling path to the river. You will see bamboo trees, flowers, and beautiful plants and experience rivers, waterfalls, and natural trails.  We will make a stop to visit a collecting pool that forms at the base of a small waterfall. Here you will have the opportunity to swim in its crystal clear waters, swing from a rope and enjoy the different tones of its deep pools. Then, after a few minutes of hiking and rock climbing to the upper sections (more strenuous), arrive at a natural river where you can swim, cliff jump, enjoy the natural water slides and small waterfalls. After the hike, we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant (food cost not included) for about an hour to an hour and half.
    240 minutes
  • Laguna Grande, Fajardo, Caribbean
    We will then proceed heading East to join on the guided nighttime bioluminescent bay kayak tour. Experience the mystical mangrove channels leading to Laguna Grande. Look into the water to see the glowing pyrodinium bahamense, microscopic planktons capable of producing natural light at the touch of your hand or paddle (like fireflies). Admire these amazing organisms up close as you paddle on a 2-person kayak through the mangroves for an estimate of 30-minutes, and learn from your eco-tour guide about this fragile and unique ecosystem. Once reached the lagoon, you will have some time to play with the water (from within the kayak) and receive more information, before we head back to the mangrove channels for another kayaking journey of approximately 30 minutes .   Enjoy provided snacks at the end of the kayak tour, before returning to San Juan. Please note: The bio bay is an unpredictable natural phenomenon that may be influenced by multiple factors. Bioluminoscity level can vary from very visible to minimum or none without any previous notice. Full Moon phase may also affect the visibility of the bioluminescence. In the event of this happening alternate methods such as the use of a tarp will be incorporated in order to appreciate it.

The lack of transparency is the main issue and the reason why I do not give it a high rating. We are made to believe we are going to spend three hours exploring the forest while we walk only about 30 minutes in total, and the rest of the time is spent jumping into a natural pool. So there is little exploration of the El Junque forest, which was disappointing. Secondly, the lunch place is extremely slow at serving - lunch happens around 2pm, and people from our group waited from 45 mins to 2 hours to be served. so it is much better to bring your own lunch, because your options will be very limited otherwise. The kayak tour of the bio bay is mostly a kayaking tour, which is pleasant but physically challenging, even for fit people. So all in all, it is not that the tour is bad in itself because you won't get bored. But it is not portrayed correctly, and in that sense borderline unethical.

Awesome!! Jorge was our tour guide for the rainforest tour and he was so much fun! Also, everybody was helped touring the tour and they really cared about our safety. The BioBay tour was very cool, too! Bring a mosquito repellent, though. It was a long day but it was totally worth the money and time. Such a great experience! 100% recommended!

Our group was amazing! Everyone (including me) took on challenges of the rain forest I’m not sure we normally would have without the support of our awesome team George, Jason, and Mitch! “FAM…. What’s up???” George has an incredible personality, keeping us in line with his fun spirit. Great times. Monolo led us on the eco tour challenging us to kayak in almost complete darkness. What an experience at the bioluminescent bay.
