It was so fun! The driver drove me to and from the kayaking which was very convenient since I was unable to rent a car. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the kayaking was not too difficult. We saw the beautiful mangroves, stars and bioluminescence.

This was such a beautiful experience! I was worried about going when the moon was brighter but they covered us with a large tarp so we could still see all the bioluminescence in the water. Fair warning if you’re extremely claustrophobic, you may want to only go on the darkest nights sans tarp. Also, be aware it’s quite a long kayak journey to the bay so come with lots of energy and coordination. All worth it though!

It took an hour to pick up other guests in San Juan... So we spent in total 4 hours on the van, car sicking, while kayaking tour is less than 2 hours. The tour itself is nice. But if I have another chance, I would choose a tour with one pickup location for everyone.
