Way too many people trying to fight their way through the mangrove. Not sure why there were boats traveling at the same time, seemed dangerous for the people trying to get out of their way”

“Amanda was our tour guide for the tour. We booked the 8:00 tour and were lucky to be the only ones. She explained a lot of info about the many animals in the water from small to large and plays and things. She took her time and made me feel safe because there were moments I felt scared but I made it. She took us by the Atlantic which is where I felt the most scared but it was cool. With this being a first time experience she explained what motions to do and how to row the boat thoroughly. This experience was definitely a 10/10 and I would highly…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 199 reviews · from $66

Sunset bio bay kayaking in Fajardo with marine biologist guides, tandem kayaks, mangroves, and a tarp setup for light-pollution control.

“Fun kayaking through an area you would not see otherwise. Neat experience kayaking in the dark and seeing the bay, but when it's time to see the luminescence, they put all kayaks tight together and cover with tarp. You need to hold the tarp up with one hand and use your other hand to splash the water to see them "light up". However, the kayaks are crammed in so the person in the front can't fit their hand in the water without it being jammed between twi kayaks. What was thought to be the highlight of the trip was disappointing so 4 out of 5 stars. Redeeming factor, as you…”
