Overview

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.

Itinerary

  • Laguna Grande

    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.

This was a really nice...

Published on May, 2025

This was a really nice experience—one of those things that’s hard to truly capture on camera because it’s something you just have to experience in person. I went solo and ended up partnering with someone from the tour group, which was great, but we did struggle a bit with the kayaking since it was high tide when we started. Coming back was much easier, so I imagine going a little later in the day might have been more relaxed. That said, the tour itself was well-organized, and the surroundings were beautiful. They also provided snacks, and there was a spot nearby to grab food after, which was a nice bonus. I’d say don’t worry too much about bringing a phone or camera—you’ll be focused on being in the moment anyway. Overall, a memorable and peaceful experience, just know that the tide and timing can affect how easy the kayaking part feels.

Fun experience

Overall good experience. A crowded area with too many kayaks but the tour operator and the staff were great. They picked us up from our hotel, had good instructions, and equipment.Had to use tarp as it was a full moon night.

Published on Mar, 2025

You will get wet up to waist but the water is warm. Very friendly guides. If you're on a trip that leaves before dark, seeing the mangroves themselves is very interesting. There is a bathroom to change clothes in but would be nice if their were changing stalls elsewhere besides bathroom. The guides were very knowledgeable and noticed they helped those that hasn't much experience with kayaking
