I loved the way the whole crew was very helpful and knowledgeable. They all made sure everyone understood instructions and guided us through the trip. They had tents for us to see the bio luminescence in the water, and that was a great add! Tour guided which I don’t remember the names, were suoer helpful, when it got dark, one of them helped by wearing a light and it made the whole difference. I would definitely go back, because 2hrs were perfect but I want more! We could star gaze and saw the dawn, so it was the whole package, nature wise. I recommend it fully!

The tour operators were fantastic. We were concerned that due to a full moon, we weren’t going to see the bioluminescence, but thankfully they had an incredible plan to bring the experience to life!! I highly recommend the tour.
The staff was excellent....
Patricia_F, Mar 2024
The staff was excellent. But we saw about 5 minutes of microorganisms under a wet moldy smelling tarp. It was a 2-1/2 hour drive from ship and and a 4 mile paddle trip in the kayak. Total expenditure $650.00 for 6 adults. I don’t think it was a good value. Disappointed
Love this tour, love this company!
Emily_C, Mar 2024
This is seriously one of the coolest things to do in Puerto Rico. We LOVED the 5:30 tour because we got to paddle through the mangroves in the daylight then experience sunset on the bay before the bioluminescence lit up the place. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and fun. The company is extremely efficient.
Rainy night
Cindy_T, Mar 2024
It rained while we were waiting in the bay for it to get dark. Our guide told us about the why the lake glows and was very funny.
Not worth the money
Kimberly_S, Mar 2024
Not organized well and did not see much given the 1 hour and 20 minutes drive from San Juan to location. Not worth the money. Would not recommend to anyone.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We regret that your experience fell short of your expectations, in terms of the tour itself, we take great pride in the organization and safety of our excursions. From transportation logistics to the night kayaking tour, including safety briefings, and kayaking 101, we aim to provide a comprehensive and enjoyable experience for all participants. While we can't change the geographical location of the lagoon, we constantly strive to mitigate any inconvenience by offering the most economical transportation options available. Our comfortable buses are designed to ensure that despite the distance, our guests can travel in comfort and convenience, enhancing the overall experience of the journey. We understand that outdoor recreation, especially night kayaking through the mangrove forest water trail, may not be suitable for everyone. Our aim is to provide diverse experiences for our guests, catering to various interests and preferences.
Great experience
Alexandra_V, Mar 2024
The whole experience was surreal. Kayaking through the mangroves as the sunset, an amazing view of the stars, swirling the glowing plankton with our hands and paddles. The guides were all amazing. Would recommended to everyone.
Sooo coool!
Cassie_H, Mar 2024
Emily our guide was so much fun, and it was beyond cool to see the bioluminescence. Would do this again for sure!
Pretty Lame
Julie_S, Feb 2024
We paddled at turtle speed in a single file line out to the bay. Then they said we couldn’t see much because of the lights of Fajardo. We had to put a tarp over our heads to really see anything. Paddling back in the dark was fun. Overall not worth the money.
It was awsome all the...
Owen_M, Feb 2024

Great adventure!
Angel_O, Feb 2024
Thanks for a great trip! Guides were wonderful and took good care of the group! We had time to explore the bay mid trip which was an added bonus.
Take this tour!
Janice_L, Feb 2024
The evening was beautiful, cool breeze, bioluminescent beasties in the water. Fantastic guides - all in all a great experience for two kayaking novices. Thank you.
Sunset and night kayaking thrill
elizabeth_s, Feb 2024
We had full confidence in our guides. They explained a lot about the natural qualities we were experiencing, and answered lots of questions. It was quite a thrill to kayak through the mangroves and then the bio luminosity. quite remarkable. I have never kayaked at night. That was a thrill also . The night sounds, the mystery of the mangroves. The soft gentle warm rain the last 1/4 mile just added to it all. Expect to get soaked. It’s an incredible experience.
Best tour ever
Cindy_K, Feb 2024
Great experience. Make sure you kayak in the dark. Fun and friendly guides. Worth the time and money
Amazing adventure
xrcy5tzyxb, Jan 2024
Our guide AJ was amazing!! He is knowledgeable & personable. We were a smaller group and it was a great environment to not only paddle but ask a lot of questions and receive quality answers. Would book again the next time we are down here.
Definitely recommend
Amanda_C, Jan 2024
Niche’s team/guides were great! They were patient and entertaining. Would definitely recommend. Peniel Access Eco Tours took great care of our valuables while we were kayaking. Be prepared to leave phones, wallets etc behind.
Highly recommend
Jose_D, Jan 2024
Great experience, very well organized and the 5 “captains” that guided and helped us were amazing and always checking in all participants. The Bay itself is really worth visiting.
Bioluminescence
Beth_F, Jan 2024
Great guides! Wonderful family experience! We took the earlier trip so we could see the bay and sunset which was beautiful!
Just a great, beautiful and unique experience
Betty_L, Jan 2024
A fun family experience. Was terrific to be out on the bay under the night stars enjoy this unique gift of nature. You can only see this in 5 places in the world. We had the extra gift of seeing and touching/holding the bioluminescent jelly fish in our hands. In my opinion, this is a must do activity.
Good tour for first time kayaker

Great experience! We happened to luck into a dark sunset that enabled a good view of the bioluminescent. Captains Sammy, Joe, and Niche were amazing.
