Overview

Explore Laguna Grande by kayaking through an enchanting mangrove forest, where you'll witness the natural wonder of bioluminescence, a radiant light created by the tiny organism Pyrodinium bahamense. Keep in mind that bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon with varying brightness. *When needed, a tarp is used to minimize light from the moon or artificial sources as an extra step to help better appreciate the bioluminescence. Sargassum, a harmless seaweed found in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, often lands on our shores and occasionally emits a scent. All odd-numbered groups or solo kayakers will be paired up during the tour. You will get wet! Dress accordingly. During peak season, high visitor volumes and tour companies may require shifts to enter/exit the lagoon, causing occasional light bumps between kayaks. Our experienced guides ensure safety and enjoyment.

Experience of a Lifetime!

Published on Oct, 2024

We went on the biobay kayak tour and had one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. We kayaked through the mangroves under the stars and got to see the beauty of the bioluminescence. When we got to the bay the guides gave us a covering so we could get the best experience to see the glowing. It was truly a magical experience. Pedro was one of our guides and he was very funny and knowledgeable. Everyone was friendly and the staff were helpful to those who weren’t familiar with kayaking skills.

WOW! Make your arm light up!

Published on Sep, 2024

I was very skeptical that the light produced by bioluminescent algae would be bright enough to be worth the trip, but my wife really wanted to go. So we went and I was WOWED!! The most amazing thing to me was what happened when I dipped my whole arm with a long sleeved shirt on, into the water. When I pulled it out there were hundreds of glowing, winkling lights all over my arm!! They lasted for 10-15 seconds. It was very cool :-) To make your arm light up, you need to have a long sleeved shirt on. But even if you don't, the glowing in the water is pretty cool all by itself.

Awesome Experience

Pedro was a great guide, fun and knowledgeable and gave great tips (Try to be in the front so you can hear them). When you’re in the canal and covered by trees, you can reach in the water and see the bioluminescence (secret tip)! So much fun!

Experince under the stars!!!

Our guides were great (Mathew, Jesus, Edward and Pedro). Pedro was our leader and was very pleasant and informative. We would have like more time to enjoy the bay but it was a great trip. (Ponce)

Don’t miss
