Fajardo Bio Bay Kayak: Paddle Through Puerto Rico's Glowing Waters
Experience the glowing waters of Fajardo’s famous Bioluminescent Lagoon with Puerto Rico’s most awarded aquatic adventure provider! Move your arms through the water on a tandem kayak, and watch how millions of microscopic plankton light up your hands in magical pixie dust spectacle. Paddles leave behind a swirl of blue light and stars cover the sky on this mystical night kayak expedition across Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve. Laguna Grande is the only bioluminescent lagoon in the world, and one of five year-round bioluminescent bodies of water in our globe!

Had a great experience! Miguel, Ineliz, Brian, and Daniel were excellent host! They were completely attentive, honest, and informative! They made sure you had the best experience possible and did a good job interacting with the rest of us! They were very patient, although we came a little late. I do recommend coming atleast 15 min earlier just to not hold back the check in process and get the crew going! Prepare for a nice little shoulder work out 😉 Would do it again, 10/10 This is a “live in the moment” experience, my iPhones camera wasn’t really able to capture the experience. The crew does take pics of you for free though. Help support these guys, they have such a beautiful way of experiencing such a beautiful and unique, treasure of Puerto Rico!

Miguel, Daniel, Brian and Ineliza are great guides. Extremely knowledgeable about the aquatic ecosystem. I would definitely recommend doing this after the sun is completely gone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The bioluminescent bay kayak tour was absolutely incredible! 🌌✨ From start to finish, the team made everything smooth, safe, and so much fun. Neisha, our hostess, was super welcoming and organized — she explained everything clearly and made us feel comfortable right away. Daniel, Miguel, Lori, and Brian were amazing guides! They were patient, funny, and made sure everyone was having a great time while paddling through the mangroves. Seeing the water light up at night was pure magic — an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you all for such a beautiful and unforgettable night! 💙 Highly recommend this tour!

We had a wonderful kayaking adventure in the bio bay. The staff did a great job and were very friendly and informative. Big thanks to Neisha, Miguel, Ineliz, and Lori for helping us have a very memorable experience. We learned a lot about the ecosystem and had a lot of fun doing it. The night tour is the way to go. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Puerto Rico.

Although the amenities were lacking with no place to change except for the public bathroom, the tour guides and personnel were all very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. However, on this night the plankton that illuminate were somewhat dim.

We had such a great time! The guides were knowledgeable, helpful, funny, friendly, and made us all feel safe the entire time. Daniel, Miguel, Brian, and Francisco are the best guides! We are so glad we decided to do this tour. Thank you again for the fun night!

The instructors were very pleasant, patient and kind. We or I tipped the boat only after struggling so bad the instructor had to clip himself to the kayak to so we could keep up with the group. However, There wasn’t any glow of any kind and the smell was awful. Like sewage. It would be a cute day trip just to do kayaking through the lagoon but there was nothing bioluminescence about it. I think they should change the name of the tour. Also be aware of shrimp. They will jump into the boat. And it was startling for me because I didn’t expect it.

Great experience! Even though we saw lower bioluminescence, due to the conditions, was still a wonderful time! We had a small group, which made it a more intimate experience. Tour guides were top-notch: super-informative, personal, and laid back! Would definitely recommend!
