A great experience, not to be missed - This was a really fun experience. All the guides were friendly, informative, and funny. We had a great time, and I highly recommend the experience. In addition, the bioluminescent experience was fantastic, right out of "The Abyss" or something. Very cool.

Wonderful! - Great experience! We couldn’t see it well bc we had a full moon, but we were able to utilize tarps to view them. It was actually really cool. Javier and his team were wonderful, and the full moon kinda made it cool since it lit up the path so well.

Kayaking to the lagoon - We took the 6:15 tour and I worried about it not being dark enough. With the sun still out, the ride through the canal was stunning. Our guide was knowledgeable about the different plants and history of the area. The sun was setting at the lagoon which made for a gorgeous backdrop

Enrique and his team from Pure Adventure was excellent - My family and another family did the Bio Bay Kayak Tour with Pure Adventure. Enrique and his team were excellent. They gave a lot of information regarding what we were seeing and guided us through the channel into the bay. We went on the 6:15pm which was great because it was sunset with a little light to see the surroundings. Otherwise it is completely dark. In the middle of the bay, they cover you with a big tarp so that you can see the bioluminescent better. If your party is 8 or more, they do gave you a small discount when you call them.

A Glowing experience - The tour was a wonderful experience! The cost was reasonable and more than what I expected. Staff was very friendly, professional, fun and extremely knowledgeable. Their level of enthusiasm showed in every detail. From the way the guide taught the group about general kayak and safety instructions. To the guided tour through the bay. They watched over the group making sure everyone was safe, if struggles occured they were right on it. Assisting anyone needing a little help. We were able to see the magnificent luminescent glow below us. This tour was very organized and well executed. We even got to hear the famous little Puerto Rico frogs. I would highly recommend the tour and with this company!

Best activity in PR - Best company to kayak with in the Lagoon. They are true professionals. make sure to wear water shoes and clothes that can get wet. Serval people I saw did not and you need to walk in water to get on the Kayaks. The bioluminescence is so cool. And this operator knows what they are doing to point sights in the Mangroves on the way out to the bay.

Good, but not on full moon night. - Even on a full moon, the guides managee to make it enjoyable by bringing a tarp to put on topof us to block out tge light so we can see the glow of the water. The only critique is that the group was too big. And the skills being so different in each kayaker made it hard to kayak through the channel. It was a nightmare coming back from the lagoon. Especially with other tours coming through.
