Full description

Embark on an adventure to a bioluminescent bay on this trip from San Juan. See the hot springs, feast on a hot dinner in a local restaurant, and visit a sand bar, before heading out to the bay and swimming in the luminous water.

After pickup from your hotel, relax on the drive to the southwest and the first stop at the hot springs. From there you will dine on fresh fish, chicken, or vegetable tacos at a local restaurant.

After dinner, you will visit the sand bar and once night has fallen, cruise to the bioluminescent bay where you will be amazed by the glowing landscape that awaits.

At the bay, jump in the water to really experience this unique phenomenon, which is a true feast for the eyes. Enjoy some free time to swim and play in the water and admire the striking glow of the microorganisms that surround you.

Great guide/driver! Henry was on top of our schedule and even allowed for time to stop and get some local food snacks on our way to the sand bar. Frank our Captain was so nice and knowledgeable. He explained the luminescent properties and took us to the best spot to fully enjoy our experience. The local food and vibe by the bay was fun, active with local music, drink and good food. It was a long day but the friendly service made it worthwhile and we met some great people on our excursion. We would recommend this to anyone going to Puerto Rico. Get out of San Juan and enjoy the beautiful island !!

We had a wonderful time on this tour. It was very laid back and chill. Our guide, Cruz, was friendly and very knowledgeable about Puerto Rico. He kept us entertained on the drive with history and fun facts about the island. He was an excellent driver and the tour van was comfortable and spacious. You won’t see the bioluminescence very well unless you get in the water. So definitely plan on getting in.

We really enjoyed the tour despite the long drive. Our guide Cruz and captain Frank were great and made sure we have the best time! Thank you! On a long ride to the bay it was nice to stop halfway at Como Hot Springs. After dinner in La Parguera we were able to swim in Sand Bar and catch a beautiful sunset before venturing out to the bio bay. It wasn’t as bright as pictures show but we were able to see bioluminescent when you moving your hands and it is magical! This was a magical experience and words or pictures would not able to deliver this experience!
