Loved the whole tour. Our guide was amazing and did a great job of giving us local knowledge. I’d say book it early so you can hit all the places they recommend as the week goes on.

Such a memorable experience and well worth the money. Definitely bring two towels (one for your body & and for over your shoulders), as the boat ride back to shore is very cold and you’ll want to be as dry and warm as possible.

This was the best tour of my life! Simply AMAZING! Our guide, Cruz, was super friendly and the most knowledgeable guide ever! As a Puerto Rican native and former U.S. mainland resident, he was able to explain areas of Puerto Rico and the culture to us clueless mainlanders. This was a phenomenal experience and worth every dollar! There are cheaper tour guide options but as they say, you get what you pay for! Cruz picked us up from our Air BnB, took us to a fabulous rum tasting at Ron Boricua, served us a delicious taco dinner, then he took us to Captain Frank's boat for the bioluminescence experience. Words nor pictures could describe the magic of getting in that water! Thank you sooooo much guys! We will be recommend this tour to everyone and we will be back!
