We had an amazing time as a family—my husband and I went with our three kids (ages 7, 6, and 4), and it was such a memorable experience! Sebastian was our guide and he was incredibly informative, friendly, and patient. He made our kids feel comfortable and helped ease their hesitation about getting into the water. Once they were in, they had an absolute blast! The water was warm, and seeing the glowing bioluminescence was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 10/10 — This is the only place in the world where you can actually swim with the microorganisms. Highly recommend the La Parguera Bio Bay swimming tour!

We had a great time , Jose was a great tour guide ! He gave us detailed instructions on how to arrive with pictures and map directions . He had clear communication throughout the day so we can arrive to the location (a little tricky). He was very informative during the tour and told us all about Puerto Rico’s history ! He helped me although I was unsure of getting into the water to swim & made me feel safe & provided a life vest & helped me enter and exit the boat safely . Thank you Jose !!! Me and my sister visited Puerto Rico for the first time since childhood & had the best time !

Louis and alese were absolutely amazing. The trip was way more than we expected. I highly recommend anyone that has never done this to try it. We were running super late and then parked in the wrong area but they graciously waited for us to arrive and we were on the phone with them the whole time trying to get there. It was an experience non of us will never forget
