This was a great... - This was a great experience, very educational. We went during the full moon, so it wasn’t as bright as usual, but the guide put a tarp over us to give it a better glow. He was very entertaining and shared great knowledge of the area.

Amazing experience - We stayed in Vieques and this was by far the best experience. From the friendly to the knowledgeable and fun guide our family really enjoyed our tour. The bioluminescence was bright and we were able to get good pictures and videos. I highly recommend that tour. Be sure to buy your ferry or plane tickets ahead of time and it's by far easier to stay on the island for the night.

Amazing experience - I brought a group of teenage Girl Scouts and it was such an amazing trip. We loved our guide! He was fantastic and answered all of their questions about the bay and life on the island in general. I'm bringing my family back soon and will book here again! Stunning.

Beautiful but tour company was not the best. - The people are very nice, and the tour guide was knowledgeable, but the tour was short. They also do not give you clear kayaks, and they do not bring you back to the ferry. You also have to walk through very smelly mud to get to the kayaks. I would recommend that they put down some wood where that mud is so that people have a decent place to walk.

Best Bio bay tours - I expected more from this tour by looking at the pictures. I saw bioluminescent but not as much as they showed in the pictures. My friend and I were drifted away by the currents and had a hard time getting back to the group. The instructor was not very helpful. They didn’t even take a single picture for us

Rude Tour Guide - I canceled after paying for this event because the tour guide was so rude. The reviews stating the tour guide is terrible are 100% true. I’m so glad I asked a question prior to going so that I could see what the reviews meant first hand before wasting time, energy, and money. There are other bio bay tours and I suggest any one of them over this one. Not my first time in San Juan but my first time trying to book this particular excursion and I’m so glad we dodged a bullet. They were literally arguing and being smart via message because I asked them to clarify details about the booking so that I am best prepared.

Unreliable – Canceled Last Minute with No Communication - We booked this tour months in advance, as it was the main reason for our trip to Vieques. On the day of the tour, while we were already en route, we received a cancellation notice—just an hour before the scheduled start. There was no prior communication, no explanation, and no alternative offered. To make matters worse, we haven’t received any follow-up or apology from the organizer or TripAdvisor. Scrambling last-minute, we had to book with another operator at significantly higher cost to salvage our experience. While that tour (booked locally and not on TripAdvisor) did deliver, this unnecessary stress and added expense could have been avoided with better communication and reliability from the original organizer. If you’re considering this tour, be prepared for potential last-minute cancellations with no recourse. I strongly recommend booking with a more dependable provider.
