Be prompt and ready to kayak... it was fun to do at night! The guides were nice, knowledgeable and you can tell they really enjoy what they do. Plan your ferry and taxi in advance...we did the 7:30pm time slot and was able to catch the 9:30pm ferry back no problem.
We had such an amazing time. Our 8 year old was amazed by what she saw. I can't swim, so I was apprehensive about the whole thing, but there was no need! Joshua was patient, his information was so I interesting and he eased your nerves. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!
The bio organisms aren't very visible. I don't think it was worth the money. Kayaking at night was a fun experience, being able to see the clear sky and constellations was fun. But not worth it if you can barely see the micro-organisms. Met someone who booked the excursion through another company and their company called to let their customer know that it won't be visible enough to be worth it and refunded their money....but not this company.
Our guide Alex was amazing and the whole experience was truly awesome inspiring. You can't beat these clear kayaks, it was like watching stars under you. Highly recommend. Kids loved it, wife loved, would do it again in a heartbeat.
Book this tour!!! It was amazing! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the bay and even showed us the milky way and other constellations while out there. He was kind, patient and funny! I would recommend this company! We did the 8:30pm and it was pitch dark out by 7:30ish. He took us to different areas of the bay and then gave us about 10 minutes to explore the middle of the bay by ourselves. I think anyone thinking about booking should just book it was so amazing!
Very safe and guided tour! Pick up.was on time . Check in was hasslefree too amd they provide. With all.the necessary equipment.
Beautiful experience! Got lucky and got to see so much! Josh and the rest of the team were very good. His teammate explained the history of the area, the stars and the dinoflagelltes. We saw them as we paddled underneath the clear kayak and as the paddles traveled through the water. Wish it been longer!
Be sure your reservation request is received, accepted ( not rejected ) and on the books with your event provider well in advance of your check in date. I had to make 3 attempts to get a desired day & time booked in Puerto Rico for a kayak tour at night. Got rejected twice... approved finally. But, got a call from the provider that their calendar showed an incorrect date. Needed to re- reserve twice. Finally got set up. Kind of frustrating.
We do our work with love and always try to give every guest the best possible experience. I’m sorry the booking process was frustrating. It sounds like most of the difficulty was related to the Viator reservation system and the communication with avalibility, rather than the tour experience itself. We appreciate you choosing us and are glad that, despite the reservation issues, you were able to enjoy the beautiful Bio Bay with us. Thank you for visiting Vieques! 💙✨
We had a great time. Everything was well organized. The guide made the trip fun. At the time we went, the water did not look that bright, but that did not stop us from enjoying it. We recommend it.
Excellent tour with a super friendly and knowledgeable guide. This was an adventure from the bus ride to the kayaking. The team managed the time extremely well. The bioluminescent water was amazing and super bright ✨️
