The Bioluminescent bay trip was phenomenal, we went with Capt. Suarez and his Baby Bay Cruising Lagoon Bio Bay trip. We went on a flat bottom boat shortly after sunset. The moon cooperated and stayed behind clouds. It was so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face which led to beautiful views of the microorganisms... More

The wife and i visited PR for two weeks in Jan 2012 for our wedding anniversary. We took an excursion from Fajardo to vieques with Eastwind Island Cat, out of Marina Puerto Del Rey. The boat left the dock before sunset for a 45 min ride to Vieques. The drinks flowed freely from the all included bar on the boat... More

There are many options for Kayaking this little creek and bay. We relied solely on trip advisors recommendation. If you have never been kayaking and may need to be pulled along by your guide then this is the company for you. If you get to the bay and want to explore they give you 3 minutes tops and that is...

Went in 2008 on kayak with granddaughter, so this time took the easy way on electric boat. Only $49 per person with Bio Island. Can reserve online early. Got a chance to learn more about the channel and the Bay, all very enlightening (and illuminating!!). More

Loved the tour, hated the ferry. Kudos to Gorge for helping us older folks enjoy the trip to the max. Fairly strenuous kayaking and snorkeling but all worth it. More

We've been to Puerto Rico 3 times (Vieques, Fajardo and Rincon) in the last 4 years. Even more if you count overnights preceding cruises. We are headed back Valentine's Day for another week. We are going to stay in Fajardo and venture out from there. Fajardo is convenient for snorkeling, day trips to either Culebra or Vieques, El Yunque and... More

After everything we read, we opted to visit the bioluminiscent bay by electric boat. Based on what we saw we were very glad we made this choice. We started the tour at 6 just before it got dark and we got a chance to see what the mangrove channel really looked like before it got dark. Our guide, Jeff, explained... More
