Seeing the water glow was really cool. You can see some of it while still in the mangroves as you paddle out to the bay, but in the bay, they give you a tarp to block out the light pollution and you can see it better. But the kayaks can get a little tight together, so reaching down into the water can be a bit tricky, especially if you're in the front. I had to pair up with someone from another odd numbered group, so be prepared to chat if you're not with an even number of people. read less

Great night tour in the dark! Guides were great 👍 Talia helped us figure out how we could take the tour being odd number. We were happy in the end.

Fantastic!! Don't miss this opportunity when you are in Puerto Rico. Beautiful, and fun. Guides are knowledgeable and funny. A true lifetime memory!!!

Gran tour! Empresa muy recomendable, nos dieron un gran tour con mucha información, siempre predispuestos a ayudar y muy amables!
Muy recomendable!!!!

But we enjoyed kayaking in the dark and the little flecks of luminescence we could see were fun. The tour guides were all personable and knowledgeable and wanted us to learn and enjoy. There were a few inexperienced kayakers who made it more entertaining for those of us who had done it before. The tour guides tried hard to accommodate different skill levels and kept things as organized as possible for 30 people on 15 kayaks. We thought it was a fun adventure and the bioluminescence was a bonus! Would recommend! read less

We were thoroughly prepared by the booking agent Hanna so we knew it was going to be an adventure! About 24 guests were in our group; all boats were two person kayaks. We learned the rules of kayaking as a group, were assisted into our boats, and paddled off to the mangrove forest on our way to the Lagoon of bioluminescence. Screeching pterodactyl like birds flew around us and fish jumped about in the waters, sometimes making it into your kayak! I felt as if I was in the amazon! After many curving turns, we made it into the large moonlit Lagoon hoping for a glimpse of the elusive organisms. We viewed them surrounding the boat as well as when we splashed our hands in the water. It was awesome and surreal. The guides were always joking with us or offering up information on the environment. It was a trip I'll never forget. It was full of fun, never a dull moment! read less

Outstanding experience Outstanding experience. All 5 of the guides were very attentive and very funny. Seeing the bioluminescence in the lake was a very fun time. I definitely recommend this company because of their guides.

The driver was very knowledgeable and shared bit of Puerto Rican history with us during the ride. We had 5 kayak guides with us during the trip. At first, I was no a huge fan of kayaking in the pitch dark (through the mangroves) only following the little blue light on the boat ahead of me, but I got used to it. Once we got out to the bay, the guides spread a tarp over our kayaks so it was easier to see the bioluminescent glow. Through out the excursion, our guides were constantly informing us of obstacles in the path and when another tour group was coming in our direction. Yes, we all knocked into each other a few times, but it was not too bad and no one was moving fast. I recommend this company for the tour, but make sure you make reservations in advance to secure your slot! read less

Yes, it was about 16 kayaks in one group and channel to the bay is pretty narrow but it didn't ruin our experience at all. The bay itself is pretty big and there is enough space for 5-6 big groups (or even more). Our guide gave us interesting info about the bay and why plankton is glowing. The night was pretty bright, moon was out. But they had а canopy to cover kayaks and we could see luminescence fine. Very unusual and cool. read less

There are 5 or 6 operators that do these tours and they all seem to have same equipment, same prices and same schedule. Island Kayaking Adventure is one of them, I guess as good as any. Everything was well organized, on time, guides were informative, friendly and very helpful. My wife and second kid were having troubles paddling their kayak so one of the guides hooked them up to his boat and pretty much dragged them in and out all the way, which was great help. I strongly recommend the first tour so at least you have some light on your way in and don't have to bump into other boats that go in opposite direction. Return can be spooky for small kids because by then you would be paddling in almost complete darkness and bumping into trees branches and other boats. But considering how amazing this glowing water is - it's totally worth the money and effort. read less

But My daughter was the power getting us to the big open space. With my brother in next kayak. Our tour guys were wonderful in the dark giving heads up to stay one side and when to change sides with branches hanging into water. The blinking lights made it easy to keep eye on our tour guy in front and other guide would come up from back and give us support. Felt very safe! Our guy was very strong and really helped us at end when getting tired. We are from eastern shore of MD & VA. Water was clear. We will return. Thanks read less

The Kayaking is not too hard even if you are the parent of kids in their twenties and not in the best shape LOL. Kayaking through the mangroves was actually a highlight and I recommend the earlier trip so you can see. Also, bring bug spray. Even though we sprayed, we still got lots of bites. The kayaking was a lot of fun, seeing the bioluminesence was cool, but after a few minutes of stirring them up and thinking they are pretty cool, you are ready to return. I'm glad I saw it, but don't think I need to do it again. read less

Great time We had a great time and the kayaking was so much fun. Although we thought the biolumnescent bay was going to be more pronounced, it was still amazing under the tarp we were provided. Highly recommend this adventure.

Pretty Cool This experience was good. Didn’t see much light in the water. But kayaking down the canal was pretty cool. I highly recommend long sleeve and pants….. and BUG SPRAY!! My whole group got a lot of bug bits!

My wife and two daughters and I had a great time - we went on the later 800 pm tour, and I'd recommend the earlier 530 tour for inexperienced kayakers or small kids, who can get scared I. The dark. The adventure of kayaking through the mile long mangrove tunnel was as much fun as the bio bay itself, which was pretty cool, but not super spectacular, at least on the night we went. All said though, we had a great time and Island Kayaking Adventures did a very good job and had nice friendly guides. read less

The morning of the excursion, they told us that the luminescence levels are a little low due to weather and moon, but still decent enough, but they still give us an option to cancel for full refund, or continue as planned for an additional 15% discount in price. I took the later option, as we wanted the experience anyway.

We reached the given address around 8 PM. Everything was very well organized. We were given our instructions, and the gear. We got into our kayaks, and started rowing. Most of use were in-experienced. Initially we tried to paddle our way through the winding narrow path through the mangroves, but it was very quickly clear that we needed help. So our 4 guides tied our kayaks together in groups and each guide dragged us through the waters.

After more than half an hour of rowing, we reached the open waters. We gathered in a group, were given tarps to put on our heads, (as there was too much light) and that's when we saw the bio luminescence.

So what we saw was just a very tiny amount of bright dots in water when you shake the water vigorously. That's all. It was good, but nothing spectacular.

Our tour guides were very professional. They stayed on top of things all along. They pulled us most of the way to the open waters, and all the way back to the shore. We had fun. read less

We started at the head of the group and going with the current down the canal. Our guide Gaby was very aware of the surroundings and always gave us notice of obstacles or other kayakers in the area. The night was calm and it was so dark at times in the canal with the overhead branches that we could only see the lights at ends of the kayak. The bay had other kayakers but we were far from them. We came back against the current so a bit more challenging but not that difficult that beginners like us could not do. Overall an amazing experience!! read less

Los monitores estuvieron muy pendientes de nosotros todo el rato y nos instruyeron en cada momento. El viaje hasta la laguna fue muy divertido, y una vez allí, nos contaron acerca de la fauna y flora de la zona. Nos hicieron un truco de magia, donde vimos el agua brillar (algo que realmente nunca había visto anteriormente y fue una experiencia mágica...)

La vuelta es contra corriente y a oscuras: Se requiere un poco de fuerza en los brazos, pero los monitores siguen estando muy encima tuyo, sin dejar que te pierdas.

No es para nada peligroso y ellos te van iluminando el camino.

Volvería a repetirlo sin duda! read less
