Would do it again - I went on this tour with my 2 kids, 12yo girl and 17yo boy. I'm am glad we did the 6:30pm tour so we had visibility when kayaking through the canal on the way out. Kayaking back is very dark and difficult to see your surroundings, if at all. Once we made it to our destination, we waited for it to become dark. The guide gave a lesson on what we were going to see. It was informative and fun, not too high level for the kids to understand. Once it got dark, they put a tarp over the top of a few kayaks at a time. This allowed you to see the bioluminescence much more clearly. If youre shopping around, definitely go with one that uses a tarp!!! It was amazing and looked like glitter, especially when you pull your hand out of the water. Things to note: if you are chlosterphobic, this may be difficult for you, under the tarp or Kayaking back in almost complete darkness. If you are with a group and have an odd number, you will be placed with a stranger, or in my case kayak by yourself (which was cool with me!). If you come with a group, if may be difficult to stay together when Kayaking to and from if others in your tour don't follow direction and stay in a single line. This happened to me and I was separated from my kids. Not terrible, but as a single mom, my momma bear started to come out because I couldn't see them!

Awesome, educational, simply worth it! - This was by far the best adventure on the island of Puerto Rico. The entire staff from registration to the very end, were absolutely professional and a beautiful sense of humor. Thank you to Enrique, Natalia, Yadiel, Catalina and Amaury. Thank you for giving a 76 year young woman with her daughter and grandkids the best memories and laughs for years to come! Gracias mi Farjado familia.

Great family tour - Tour guides, pickup, wait time, equipment and value were all great. The bioluminescence was amazing. You can even see the larger fish paths when they’d swim quickly thru your path. We had 2 adults and 2 kids

Great experience - We were really debating between the tour times and chose the 6:30 which ended up working out great. We got to see the mangroves and a beautiful sunset over the lagoon. We went 4 days before a full moon and the bioluminescence was so cool and beat my expectations. Guides were really good.

Magical Bioluminescence - The bioluminescent kayaking tour with Pure Adventure was very enjoyable. We had a magical moment on the return route under the mangrove canopy when our paddles set the water ablaze with a luminous glow as huge fireflies flitted above. Our guides were organized and friendly. Seamless operation from check-in through our return from our tour.
