Breathtaking! Linger behind your group out of the mangroves . Your paddles and kayak light up the water and fish swimming nearby are like lazy lightning through the water..to the tune of chirping coqui

Peter S. Greenberg

Go kayaking in Misquito Bay at night where the water it is completely lit up by living organisms underneath. Read more to find out other great locations to experience bioluminescence to the fullest! Read more

Brian Chase

Don't worry about bringing a camera . It is almost impossible to take photos of the bioluminescence. Instead, use your time instead to tour around the bay to find the best places to see the phenomena

Andrew Hogue

IO Puerto Rico Eco Tours is an amazing guide. Much funnier and more engaging than the other tours . No web site, but 787-616-9594 or (787) 613- 3928 or email them at ioprecotour@gmail.com

bring extra set of clothes & shoes (shoes & bottoms will get wet). FYI: mosquito spray, kayak pile ups, single file line , stay on right, watch out for mangroves smacking your face, strong arms!

Ashley King

The dinoflagellates and stars are amazing. That is 10-15 min of the 2+ hrs. You don't go that far, it's just dark and chaotic paddling through the canal . I'd spend the $ for a private group next time.

Terry Romano

This is very cool. Take the kids and go late at night, It is very dark and a lot of paddling but you can do it. Great experience. Where water shoes and a swim suit.

Edgar Muentes

Last time w/ the same guides, had a great time. This time, bioluminesence was significantly diminished & boarding our kayaks meant wading in sludge. Would have been tolerable had I known in advance.

Laura Talarowski

Use KPR!!! Everything else is stupid. Great tour guides!! So friendly & the most beautiful thing you will do in your life. Tip your guides well !! They deserve it. (Especially Lucas, he's cute & single

Andrew Hogue

Try to get a departure just before low tide. Paddling is much easier, and the bioluminescence will follow you out through the mangroves towards the ocean when you're done.

Eric Friedman

Say hello to the chill Puerto Rican dogs hanging out at the beach right before your mind is blown from seeing the glowing awesomeness in the bay !

Ebrahim Bandookwala

Always fun ! The ride there is as much fun as the bioluminescent algae ! A must do while in PR!

Foodiespr

Part Of The Top 5 List on The things to do at the Foodiespr App, check it if you are planning your trip to Puerto Rico .

jef McClimans

Totally worth it. Prepare yourself to paddle as a team through a dark narrow inlet with only the light of the kayak ahead of you to guide you.

Melody Ewing

Do an earlier tour so you can see the mangroves and also have a better sense of direction navigating through the narrow lagoon. It will be dark on the way back so you get two vantage points.

Chris Gibson

Definitely recommend Kayaking Puerto Rico . Try to come when there's a new moon.

Glenda McKinney

Pure Adventure was a good kayak tour provider . Get an Ocean kayak if possible; they are a bit more stable .

ᴡ Rosario

A must do if you are on vacation. Book early, it gets crowded . Excellent experience!

Umair Javaid

This is a must for everyone! Definitely a unique and extraordinary experience.

Eileen Cotter

Must do if you're within 50 miles of Fajardo. Such an indescribable phenomena, water glows like a leaky glow stick when disturbed!

Angie Garcia

Go on the boat tour first before u kayak , you get a more in depth tour . Try bio island tours . Great ppl.

Sheba Kunhimohammed

Use lots of bug spray. Relax , the water while passing through the mangroves is only two feet deep. It doesn't sound scary kayaking at night once you know that :-)

David Holtz

Guides were good and the lagoon was neat, but you have to be lucky to see the bioluminescence.

Nico Parker

This is easily one of the coolest places I have ever been. The water is beautiful.

Rosa???? {Loly07}

Kayak sounds scary but in a group sounds nice, it was kind of scary cause in straight up dark but this is an experience of a lifetime

Betty Gonzalez

One of the three bioluminescent bays in PR . Highly recommended.

Faith

Once in the bay , dip your oar in real deep and swish it around to really get thay bioluminscent glow, so cool.

Rory Parness

When you are in the open waters, head to the mangrove trees . It's dark and the plankton really shine

Kathline Durden

Can get really crowded . But a must do experience! The water glows !

Jonathan Moro

Cool experience but don't think that the entire water flows. It's like looking at firefly.

Mai Norton

Try to stay in either the front of the group or back to avoid kayak pile ups in the mangroves , you are not "really" allowed to swim in the bay but if you do it quietly they will not say anything.

Connie Wong

If you go on the earlier tour (recommended) make sure you use bug spray; and then spray again

Garick Chan

If you enjoyed the trip and experience great service, remember to show your appreciation with a tip. :D

Stevan Martini

Chose and experienced kayak rental and tour company for the best experience.

Tony Landa

Teamwork is important in the kayaks . Person in the back, try to synchronize. And practice breaking and back-paddling.

Umair Javaid

Go with kayaking puerto rico . Wonderful staff !

Michael Sgro

Pure Adventure has a wonderful kayak experience! Check them out.

Denise Seïf

Never go out when the ???? is beaming, u won’t see anything unless they cover u with a tarp. The whole bioluminescent experience is about 5 min the rest of the 2 hrs is slow kayaking

Tony Landa

Advance Tours P.R. is the way to go. Talk to Cruz!

Amol K

Try to go when there is no moon or when there is cloud cover

Allison Hayn

Put bug spray all over and esp on the bottoms of your feet!! I won't post pics of my bug bites...but the trip is incredible!

jillian dino

Keep your distance between kayaks . Enjoy the magical experience!

Sandra D.

I don't understand how they allow motor boats in the lagoon. They're just degrading this natural environment in exchange for money from "tours ".

Adriana Cuevas Conte

One of the most magical places in the world

The Backstreet Fork

You need to see this bioluminiscent water before u die

Carlo M

Splash around at night and see the water magically glow!

Stacy

Once in a lifetime experience!

Harvey Simmons

Check to make sure there's no moonlight and jump in!

Daro Miller

Be sure to bring your bug spray!!!

Xiomamba

Don't forget the mosquito repellent...
