If you can only do one excursion in Puerto Rico - this is it!

Published on Nov, 2024

This is a must-do in San Juan. Steven, our guide, was phenomenal. The boat captain was also fantastic. The experiences were amazing and everything was perfect… Until the end of the tour when I left my phone in the van. But Steven made a special trip to return it to me. Above and beyond kindness.

A-MA-ZING

Published on Sep, 2024

Steven and both boat Captains were wonderful. The tour was definitely once in a lifetime and far exceeded anything we could have imagined!

Must do when in PR

Such a unique once in a lifetime activity. The ride from San Juan to La Parguera was very enjoyable thanks to our driver who shared lots of great history pieces on the places we were driving through. Both captains and driver were very friendly! Amazing experience!!

Personalized and charming tour! 10 out of 10!

Published on Jun, 2024

Steven was THE best host!! As we drove to Paguera, he told us of the sites and history. After the Hot Springs portion of the tour (small pit stop before the Bio Bay), he stopped by a local fruit stand and got us all fresh pineapple which was the best I have ever had! Once at Paguera beach, he ordered us tacos from a local restaurant and afterwards we were able to walk around and take in the sights of this lovely beach/fishing town! Once it was time to get on the boat to take us to the bay, we had the most charming ship captain! We stopped at a sand bar first on the Caribbean side and swam in the shallow, beautiful waters! The sunset was great and it was lovely! Then it was time to go to the Bio Bay and it was nothing short of amazing!! 10 out of 10! Our captain and Steven helped us understand the details around the bay and helped us get the most of our experience and took pictures for us! It was a great tour! I highly recommend this one because it is the only Bioluminescence tour you can swim in! Steven took great care of us and we felt very safe!

Magical and Zen Experience

Published on Jun, 2024

This was a wonderful tour. Trip of a life time. It seems long and expensive, but so worth it, every second!!! The Coamo baths were so relaxing and Zen. The dinner, tacos and drinks were delicious. We could have used some cutlery, but we made due. The sandbar enjoyment was spectacular at sunset. And the swimming at the bio bay was just magical. The captains were super full of information, not just about La Parguera, but also about the bio bays at Fajardo and Vieques. Our tour guide Steven was really informative, helpful, and funny. He filled us with many facts about the cultural and indigenous history of Puerto Rico, and I have been going to PR as a child. He also got us some super sweet local pineapple, yummy! Great experience!! May be doing it again on the future.
