Full description

Join your expert tour guide for an all-day excursion to the El Yunque Rainforest, then kayak with glowing planktons at a bio-luminescent bay. Start your adventure with a visit to the lesser-known zone of El Yunque, the only tropical rainforest in the United States. Hike and explore this off-the-beaten-track habitat. Take a dip in a waterfall or natural pool, or try out the waterslides. Hear fascinating stories from your guide about natural and local history. Spot native flora and fauna, many of which are not found anywhere else on the planet. After the hike, take a break with some lunch at a local restaurant. Then it's time for a kayak adventure through mangrove channels leading to the Laguna Grande. Meet the glowing microscopic planktons capable of producing natural light at the touch of your hand. Paddle in this remarkable yet safe environment. Explore these amazing creatures up close. Watch how every stroke of your paddle leaves behind a glowing swirl of blue light that resembles fireflies. Learn how this fragile and unique ecosystem maintains a perfect balance of life.

The whole tour was well organized, the guide Jason was funny, friendly and helpful, the forest and the activities in it were incredible. Me and my friend were really bad at kayaking but the guys in charge of it were really nice and helped us. Would totally recommend!

This is really a wonderful experience, if you're going to Puerto Rico and you want to discover one of the best things of the town you should booked this tour, we had so much fun also thanks to the best guide George and his coworker Jason, he was so funny and conscientious at the same time, he tell us lots of interesting things about the forest and he treated all the group like a family, btw I think that this tour is suitable for everyone (and I'm not really into the gym world ahahahah). I'll recommend this so much and l'II hope that also you'll have George like a guide ;) Ps. We didn't bring the phone with us and I thought it would be a problem but instead it was so much better, zero thought and no worries, oh and I also recommend to bring a different pair of shoes to leave in the bus and to use at the end of the tour

This was so fun! It was just what we expected: we got picked up around 8am, then were driven to the rainforest. We hiked through the tourist trails, which did require some physical activity! They were not the easiest to climb through but it was fun. We then got to do a natural waterfall, a 40ft and 15ft cliff jump, and a rope swing. We left the rainforest and went to a restaurant around 2:30 which was great. Our tour guide left, and a new tour guide picked us up around 4:30. We got to the bio bay setup point around 5:30 and hung out there until 7, when the kayaking began. We kayaked in glass-bottom kayaks through a canal, then once it got dark got to see the bioluminescence. We would definitely recommend going as close to a new moon as possible so it's darker, but since it was a half moon when we went we got covered with a tarp so we could see it. The actual bioluminescence part only lasts ~5-10 minutes but the experience is so worth it. Our tour guides were very nice and friendly!
