Neat experience short 15 minute swim swim

Neat experience but short 15 minute swim. Not worth long drive. Do a kayak instead if closer to San Juan. Our guide did not give us any education on the bioluminescent. That would have been nice. Really no effort on his part other than buckling our life preservers.

Amazing glow experience

Trust God and the staff the glow is amazing!! if you bring your camera of any kind you can’t use any lights or flash it makes the glow very dim but it’s a must do experience in Ponce Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 if you staying in San Juan only large groups will get transported so try to have your own transportation

My husband and l were...

My husband and l were celebrating our anniversary. It was a very interesting trip and our guide , Israel, was wonderful. We learned a lot about the country. He also recommended a good place to eat.

A good way to see Puerto Rico

My husband and l were very impressed with this trip and our guide. His name is Israel. He was the best! I would definitely recommend this especially if Israel is your guide. .

Swimming in the bay is cool

The boat driver was nice, but he wasn’t a guide. He didn’t explain anything about the bay. They had floatees for around your waist that was great for the 15-20 minute swimming.
