Bio Bay Night Kayak Tour in Fajardo

Jose was the best tour guide we have had all vacation! He was so funny and sociable! He taught us all about the bioluminescence and their importance.

The tour guides were great! Very friendly, helpful and attentive. We absolutely were amazed with the bioluminescence! I would definitely do this again.

The guides had a great sense of humor. They shared some of the history of Puerto Rico and some of their personal experiences on the island. It was more challenging then I thought but still well worth the adventure.

Great experience! The guides were really nice and very informative. There was a full moon the night we went (not the best time for viewing) but they were prepared and used a tarp over us to block out the moonlight so we could see the bioluminescence. It was super cool!

We’re glad we had this experience. I bought tickets a few days before our trip and our family had been looking forward to the excursion. However, some rains moved into the area a few hours before the trip and we questioned whether it was something we still wanted to do. Ultimately, we decided to keep our plans and make the trip. We’re glad we did. The six of us had a great time kayaking together through the mangroves under a full moon shining through clouds en route to and from the bioluminescent lagoon. The guides were entertaining and professional throughout the trip.

Had an amazing time on this kayak tour! Me and my kayak partner have never kayaked before, and she actually can’t swim very well. She was nervous but one of our tour guides, Chris, really made us feel comfortable and stayed with us and taught us some good techniques on the way out to the lagoon! We ran into him probably 8 times and he was so chill about it and didn’t care. On the way back we used his tips and made it back without running into anything…. This tour was one of my favorite things about this vacation and my kayak partner said this was her absolute favorite part! When I visit again this will definitely be on my list! Thanks again for your kindness! I would definitely recommend this experience!

Fun kayaking trip for a family who has never kayaked! Inturucters very knowledgeable and helpful! It was a little cloudy so hard to see but they made sure we all felt safe and had an enjoyable experience!

Jose, Ozzie, Joel, Chris were all excellent guides! My family and I had little kayak experience plus the guides taught the basics so it was easy to catch on. I felt safe at all times. The bioluminescence was not as bright as we expected cue to light pollution but overall you could see them. I do highly recommend this tour, the kayaking experience alone was fun and enjoyable. Keep up the good work guys! We really enjoyed our time.

John and Chris were excellent guides. Very knowledgeable and friendly. They looked out for each of us to make sure we all stayed together and the bioluminescence Bay was amazing. I highly recommend this tour.

There wasn’t much kayaking. The other companies seemed to paddle around more once we got through the mangroves. Eco Adventure just had us all tied together until it was our turn to head back through the mangroves. I would suggest a similar tour just with a different tour company. They also changed our meeting time from 8:20 to 7:50 but we didn’t end up going out until after 8:30. We were about to leave before it even started.

We LOVED it! The weather was perfect. The guides were informative and sweet. The views were stunning. We would go again!

First booking with this viator site is more expensive than the actual place.
Second, the 6:00 pm tour is horrible. We were only on the water just about an hour when its advertised as a 2 hour tour. At no time was there a mention of putting black tarps over our kayaks in a bunch. At no time was it mentioned that we would not see anything unless we were completely in dark with no clouds.

This was really unique! How fun that all these people gather at night to jump in kayaks and follow each other thru the mangroves in the dark. Loved the journey and the education. Laser pointers were neat. Holding glowing jellyfish was very unexpected. It was all very magical.

Fun, entertaining, informative! Awesome guides. Worth it. Loved the jellyfish. Enjoyed the nightly escapade. Kayaking through the lagoon between the mangroves was a first for us. Eco Adventures made it memorable.

Check-in and prep were pretty smooth, as well as getting into the Kayaks initially. We did have a later start than anticipated, I assume they were avoiding congestion from other groups.

The "tour" itself was pretty underwhelming, as the tour guide leading us seemed to have very low "enthusiasm" and was taking super low. We were the first kayak in the line and i could barely hear him, i had to ask my wife (who was in the front part of the Kayak) to repeat what he said to me. The few items that I thought were a bit interesting I would then relay backwards in a loud way for others to be able to hear it.

The bay had barely any bioluminescence (not under Eco Adventures control), so they provided a tarp to cover ourselves to see it. This was a disaster. While other companies provide individual tarps per kayak and guide you through the experience, Eco Adventures provided one big tarp that required passing it along through a bunch of Kayakers, some of which were not paying any attention and causing issues, and provided very little guidance along the way. At some point he started talking about some things with part of the group, and 5 minutes later we realize he was showing things in his phone but had not told the group to remove the tarp, so more than half of the group was not seeing what he was talking about.

We've done this tour with other companies before and had a much better experience in terms of the tour guide enthusiasm and actual "guiding".

All that said, we had fun and got to go through the mangroves and bio bay in a safe way.

It was not easy to kayak all the way to Laguna Grande (we have little experience in kayaking) but the view of the shiny bioluminescent organisms worth all the hard work.

Overall, the trip was very chaotic and disappointing. Too many people in the group as well as too many tour companies running at the same time. No one was keeping things moving smoothly. You had kayaks bumping into each other, paddles from other boats in ours, people going into the mangroves and tour guides just sitting there not keeping people organized. Then you had returning boats full of people running right up the middle. Sadly, this made for an expensive and very disappointing experience.
