Amazing!!

Published on Apr, 2025

What an amazing tour!! It was such a fun day. Our tour guides Enrique and Jose were so nice and informative and even though the drive to La Paguera was long we learned a lot of the history of Puerto Rico on the way. The rum tasting was great and we all made our own mojitos (and kids can make a non-alcoholic version). The dinner was very yummy. And of course the best part was swimming in the bioluminescent bay. It was definitely at the top of most incredible things I and my kids have ever experienced. And an added bonus was that the night was so clear that we were able to see the most beautiful starry night. I highly recommend this tour. It is worth every penny and more.

Long Day But Fantastic Experience

Published on Apr, 2025

Tour guide Stephen could not have been better - from our 1:20 pick-up at the Caribe Hilton to our return at 11:15pm. He was informative on everything Puerto Rico, friendly funny and helpful. The first stop was Don Q tasting that was really cool - in a historic mansion at the top of a hill above Ponce with a hilarious tour guide that kept us moving and tasting. The second stop was in the little fishing village of La Parguera for our choice of fresh and filling Tacos. We next drove 5 minutes to the marina and our boats. Both boat Captains were friendly and helpful. Stephen was with us every step and swim of the way. We first stopped at a sandbar at dusk with many other boats moored around and many of us swam for about 30 minutes while waiting to enter the Bio Bay. Nice white sandy bottom with a few inquisitive but harmless tarpons swimming by. A short run to the Bio Bay where we moored waited until full darkness as the boat captain explained the upcoming science of the bay. Our night had a crescent moon casting a little shadow. But, Stephen and the team used a shade between the two boats offering total darkness to fully enjoy the full experience of bioluminescence. After the short boat ride to the marina we went to a local gas station to change, get snacks, and enjoy the ride back to San Juan. This was a really fun day, and cool experience that was worth the money.

Fantastic excursion! We...

Fantastic excursion! We feel like we got to see almost the whole island with a fabulous guide. We loved the rum tour/tasting, and swimming in the biobay under the stars was magical. Highly recommend!

Beautiful view.

Published on Apr, 2025

The boat captain was very nice and knowledgeable. The boat ride was nice. Stars were beautiful. I didn't get to see very much of the bio bay due to a medical emergency which the captain of the boat was very helpful and attentive. It was appreciated. The moon was a little too bright so they put a tarp out so we could see the bio bay glow. The food was ok. The rum was strong like it's supposed to be.

Highly recommend this tour to La Parguera

Published on Mar, 2025

Highly recommend! This was an unforgettable experience. Tour of Don Q was fun and interesting. Tacos at La Parguera were delicious. Sandbar swim and experience at the bio bay swimming under the stars were amazing.
