Bio Bay Kayaking Tour

Witness the Beauty of Puerto Rico’s Bioluminescent Bay on a Kayak Tour!

A truly unforgettable experience awaits, as you witness hundreds of tiny star-like bioluminescent plankton scintillating like a starry sky as you move through the bay.

Wave your paddle through the water in front of you, and be mesmerized by the tiny glowing specs of plankton or Dinoflagellates which are tiny unicellular marine plankton also known as fire plants.

Fajardo Bioluminescent Bay Kayak Tour Details

Meet for your Bioluminescent Bay Puerto Rico tours on the beach of Las Croabas, a small fishing village located on the extreme northeastern tip of the island.

Your bio bay tour guides will conduct a briefing session covering basic kayak handling, rules of the road, and how best to protect the pristine environment of the bioluminescent bay.

Then we launch our kayaks and head for a hidden opening in the mangroves at the northern end of the beach. Upon entering the mangroves, we follow a channel for a mile that leads to the Laguna Grande.

Leaving the channel and entering the lagoon by itself is a breathtaking experience! A wide expanse of gentle, rippling water surrounded by mangrove forests greets the adventurer, the mountains of the El Yunque Rainforest tower in the distance – profound tranquility envelopes all who enter!

But the best is yet to come! Your guides call the flotilla together for an informative talk about several topics: This unique ecosystem, the flora, fauna, and sea life that inhabits the lagoon, and historical notes of interest.

Discover the Fajardo Lighthouse, built by the Spanish in the 19th century, and of course, the incredible natural phenomenon that we’re here for – the shimmering glow of bioluminescence as you dip your paddles and glide through the sparkling water – an amazingly unique experience only found in few places on earth!
