I think 3 stars is generous! The guides were great and very knowledgeable. Aside from that, I’m not sure I would do this again or recommend it to others. We saw little to no bioluminescence. The experience looks NOTHING like the pictures! Overall, I feel like we got ripped off!

Hello Kristina_S,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed our guides and appreciated their knowledge and professionalism.
We’re sorry the bioluminescence was not as visible as you had hoped. We completely understand how disappointing that can be, especially when you’re looking forward to seeing the glowing water. It’s important to note, however, that bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon, and its intensity can vary significantly and sometimes change unexpectedly—even from one night to the next. Unlike a show or attraction, we cannot control or guarantee how much bioluminescence will be visible during a particular tour. The photos commonly used to showcase bioluminescence capture exceptional conditions and are not necessarily representative of every night.
We always want our guests to have a memorable experience, and we’re sorry that the conditions during your visit did not meet your expectations. We truly appreciate your kind words about our guides and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to share the magic of Puerto Rico’s natural wonders with you.
Cordially,
Yolanda Ramos

Unique experience
All the guys who took us out on this tour were amazing, especially Javier! We had a couple in our group who were having a tough time navigating the operation of a tandem kayak and Javier was right there to help make sure they made it back swiftly with the rest of the group. We stopped in the lagoon and one of the guys was pointing out star constellations, while others looked at the bioluminescence. Since the moon illuminated, nearly full, We used a canopy to see the bioluminescence but it was still very cool! I would recommend going on a new moon and to make sure you will be comfortable kayaking in the dark. It’s not hard, but Communication and coordination are key in navigating the waterways with your partner on this trip.
Thank you to all the guys for your expertise, sense of humor, and especially Javier for helping our group!

Best accommodating kayak service!
The staff at bio Bay made it a pleasurable experience for myself and my 83-year-old mother-in-law. They were exceptionally accommodating for her needs and did a wonderful job of helping us!

It was an incredible experience. Amaury, Javier, Natalia, and Jadier made us enjoy the experience a lot and learn more about the biodiversity of PR up close. I recommend it 10/10

Amazing Experience!
We had an amazing experience with Eli, Javier and Natalia during our 6pm bio bay tour. We were so happy we did this tour and will remember it forever! The mangroves were so tranquil and the bay was beautiful, Javier did a great job explaining the stars at night and Eli kept us all entertained while paddling.
Ten stars out of five!

Great experience but disappointed
The tour guide was amazing host, always saving less experience guest from stuck at mangrove tree & keep everyone to finish line/safety.
Unfortunately we didn’t see much bio, it isn’t magical blue at all. It was like a little sparkling in silver.
Kayaking about 45min into lagoon & stay for 10min.
8pm tour. was clear sky to view stars.
The canal was crowed with a lot traffic by another tours which make it difficult to kayak, was worry about bumping & flipping over.
Bring a change of clothes. You will get wet & smelly. Bathroom was small & shared with bar & restaurant.

Hello Ivy T,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your guide and appreciated the care he took to support all guests throughout the experience. Safety and making sure everyone reaches the finish line comfortably are always our top priorities.
We’re sorry the bioluminescence was not as visible as you had hoped. The intensity of the glow is a natural phenomenon and can vary significantly depending on other environmental factors. While we cannot guarantee a specific level of bioluminescence, we always do our best to provide the best possible experience on the night of the tour. We are also clear with our guests and contact them prior tour to let them know about the glow conditions if they have not been as expected. The guest has the opportunity to participate or cancel.
We also understand your concerns about the traffic in the canal. As this is a popular nighttime activity, there can be multiple tour operators on the water, particularly during busy periods. Our guides are trained to navigate these conditions carefully and prioritize the safety of our guests at all times.
As for the kayaking conditions, getting wet and encountering the natural smells of the mangrove environment are normal parts of this outdoor experience, which is why we recommend bringing a change of clothes. We appreciate you mentioning these details, as they can be helpful for future guests in preparing for the tour.
Thank you again for joining us and for recognizing the efforts of our guide. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for an even better experience.
Cordially,
Yolanda Ramos

Worst experience ever! Waste of time and MONEY!
The location never opened and the phone was never answered. No voicemail either, because it’s not set up! I paid over $100 in Uber service for this HORRIBLE experience. Was supposed to leave at 6, and arrive 30 minutes prior…NOTHING!! Not even a text! Worst experience ever! And this was my “closing” of my trip to Puerto Rico.
事業者からの返答
Dear Blondie_G,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry for the frustration and inconvenience this caused, especially as this was the final activity of your trip to Puerto Rico.
We would like to clarify that we did attempt to contact you using the phone number provided with your reservation and left a voicemail. Unfortunately, it appears you may have been using a different phone number, which prevented us from reaching you. We understand how disappointing this situation must have been, and a full refund was issued for your reservation.
We take communication and our guests’ experience very seriously and will continue working to ensure we provide clear and reliable communication before every tour. We sincerely regret that we were unable to connect with you that evening and hope you’ll give us another opportunity in the future.
Cordially,
Yolanda Ramos
