Walk through Puerto Rico's rainforest and discover its unique bays with this El Yunque Forest + Bioluminescent Bays Tour. The magic of nature with a kayak trip included!

Description

We'll pick you up from your chosen meeting point and then head north passing through 4 villages before stopping in Luquillo to discover local fruits.

The tour arrives at El Yunque Forest, known as the "natural wonder of Puerto Rico". We will walk its trails to see various animals and plants, reach waterfalls, and have the opportunity to swim in natural pools and jump off rocks. Fresh fruit will also be provided.

Afterwards, we will visit a local restaurant for a 30-minute meal break. Next, we will travel to the bioluminescent bays.

In Fajardo Bay, we will kayak as the sun sets. Paddling towards the Red Mangrove Forest, we'll witness dinoflagellates causing the water to shine. You'll enjoy the sunset at Laguna Grande and see glowing fish.

We'll return to San Juan, arriving back at the meeting point at 9:30 pm.
