El Yunque Forest + Bioluminescent Bays Tour

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 the most typical fruits.

The tour will then arrive at the El Yunque Forest, known as the "natural wonder of Puerto Rico." We'll walk along its trails to see various animals and exotic plants, before reaching the waterfalls to swim in natural pools and even jump off the rocks. Fresh fruit will be provided.

Afterwards, we'll take you to a local restaurant for 30 minutes to eat on your own. We will then proceed to the bioluminescent bays.

Once in Fajardo Bay, we'll get into a kayak as the sun goes down, paddling toward the Red Mangrove Forest to witness the bioluminescence caused by dinoflagellates. You will also admire the sunset at Laguna Grande and see the fish glowing in the dark.

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