An absolutely amazing day! Our tour guide/driver was so knowledgeable about Puerto Rico. It was so exciting to see other parts of the island even though we’re staying in San Juan. The hot springs was lovely. The tacos were delicious. Our captain was excellent. We enjoyed a lovely swim at the sand bar before heading to the bioluminescent bay. The bioluminescent swim was other worldly! It was like diamonds dripping from your hands. So difficult to photograph! You need to experience it for yourself!!

Stephen our guide was phenomenal. He showed us sites on the drive to the bay. this was the best thing we did on the trip. There are not enough good things to say about this experience or every person we encountered. The boat ride at sunset is something everyone should see. We will definitely be doing this tour again. Wishing you all the best on your Winter trip. 😁. Chris and Michelle

Steven was a great guide. Tons of fun at each stop. Hot springs were great and so was swimming on the sand bar. A few people got stung by jellyfish when swimming at bioluminescent Bay, but you are swimming in the ocean. They were great with the kids.

It was great to meet some of the people around town that our guide knew! And to hear local perspective.

This was a very nice way to see the bio bay. The swimming was INCREDIBLE! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!
