“This is a must-do experience in Puerto Rico! Luis was very helpful and attentive when checking us in and made sure to answer any questions we had. There were four tour guides on our trip- William, Jose, Jason, and Julio. They were very experienced and made us feel safe the entire time by having one in the front of the group, one in the back, and two in the middle to keep an eye on each kayak. It was very well organized and the safety features as well as general kayaking tips were explained in a way that made us confident and comfortable. Although they could not control how bright…”

“Would not recommend to anyone. Guide was very unorganized, no instructions, felt very unsafe, honestly thought they would have left without making sure they had everyone. No safety measures were taken, in the middle of an ocean bay, if would not have been paying attention could have easily gotten separated from the group. I’d give zero stars if I could.”

“This is a MUST DO! There are only 5 places on earth to experience bioluminescence, this is one of them. Pedro and all the folks at Island Kayaking were quick to get us onboard and get to our kayaks. They were very informative and also made it fun with their humor. Really just do it, you’ve come all the way to Puerto Rico, this is a must do.”

“This is by far the worst, most irresponsible tour service I have ever experienced. We booked the 8:30 PM Bioluminescent Bay tour, and before the tour even began — not even close to 8:30 yet! — the guide decided on their own that they would not wait for us, completely ignoring the fact that we had informed them in advance that we might be a few minutes late due to the terrible traffic conditions in that area. What makes this even more outrageous is that they left before the official departure time, causing us to miss the entire tour. When we later requested a reasonable refund, they shamelessly refused and…”

Paddle through Puerto Rico’s glowing Laguna Grande on a guided night kayak tour from San Juan, with transport, lessons, and practical tips.
“While the tour guides were super friendly and fun, the bio bay itself was underwhelming. It’s about a 30 minute kayak ride to the bay, when we got there it was still light out so we had to wait in the bay. For 5 minutes they put a tarp over ouRead more”
