Fajardo Bio Bay Kayak Tour: Laguna Grande, every night.

Yes. Nobody needs paddling experience: before launch, your guide teaches forward strokes, steering and safety on land, then stays with the group the entire time on the water. Each kayak holds two, so partners split the effort. Children 6 and older are welcome on the Fajardo bio bay tour too.

It costs $85 per person when you drive to Las Croabas and $145 per person with the hotel pickup option, which serves Fajardo, Luquillo, Rio Grande and San Juan. Either price covers your double kayak, paddle, life vest, the lesson on land, a guide and snacks once you are back.

No ticket office exists at Laguna Grande: your reservation with us is the ticket. Send your date and group size by WhatsApp or call (787) 209-2127, and we confirm your spot and check-in time. Prices are $85 per person, or $145 with pickup. Our bio bay tour cost guide budgets the whole night.

Yes, choose the $145 pickup option. A driver collects you at your hotel in Fajardo, Luquillo, Rio Grande or San Juan, gets you to Kayak Village in time for check-in, and takes you home afterward. It runs with both departures. For drive times and rideshares, see our bio bay from San Juan guide.

It starts in the evening, with two departures that track sunset. Early tour check-in runs from 5:00 to 6:00 PM and late tour check-in from 7:00 to 8:00 PM, depending on the season. Treat your booking time as your check-in time: kayaks launch about 30 minutes after, and a text on tour day confirms the exact time.

We suggest the early departure. You glide through the mangrove channel while a little daylight lingers, so the ride in becomes a highlight of its own, and the lagoon is dark by the time you reach it. The late departure is night from the first stroke. Both show you the glow.

Plan on roughly two hours from check-in to snacks. That time covers the lesson on land, the mangrove channel, drifting on the glowing lagoon and the paddle home. Departures run every evening of the year, two per night, and both are timed to sunset in Fajardo.

Six is the minimum age. Each child rides in a double kayak with an adult from the same group, one grown-up per child, and kids should be able to sit steadily and paddle. Traveling with more kids than adults? Message us on WhatsApp first and we will work out the seating with you.

Yes. Every guest must weigh 102 kg (225 lbs) or less, a limit that keeps double kayaks stable on every departure. We also do not recommend the paddle during pregnancy or with back or heart conditions. Questions about either one? Ask us on WhatsApp before booking and we will gladly talk it through.

Yes, the lagoon glows through every moon phase. On bright nights the group gathers under a large tarp our guides carry, which shuts out the moonlight so the blue-green flashes stand out. If your dates have some give, use the moon calendar on this page to find the darkest evening of your stay.

On land at Kayak Village, your guide shows you how to hold the paddle, move forward, turn and stop, then talks through safety and the route. Everyone gets fitted with a life vest, the group launches together, and the guide stays alongside the kayaks from the mangrove channel to the lagoon and back.

Yes, from your seat. Guests stay in their kayaks for the whole tour, and dipping a hand over the side is one of the best moments: the water sparks around your fingers. Laguna Grande is a protected reserve, so the kayak is your viewing spot. Keep your phone in a dry pouch.

Expect some splashes. Paddle drips land in the kayak, so wear quick-dry clothes and water shoes or strap sandals, and pack dry clothes for the trip home. Add insect repellent, drinking water and a dry pouch for your phone. Leave jewelry at your hotel; we supply the kayak, paddle and life vest.

Our Fajardo tour is a kayak paddle, made easy for beginners by the lesson on land. Prefer to watch from a boat? The La Parguera sunset boat and bio bay tour on the southwest coast suits you, with no minimum age. It runs on select nights each month, from $169 per person.

Pick by where you sleep. Laguna Grande in Fajardo works for San Juan and east coast stays, with nightly departures and hotel pickup. Mosquito Bay sits on the island of Vieques and suits guests spending the night there, since there is no same-day ferry back after the tour. Each starts at $85.

Yes. Cancel at no charge until 24 hours before your check-in. If unsafe weather makes us call off a departure, your money comes back in full. Want a different night instead? Send us a WhatsApp message or call (787) 209-2127 and we will move your booking to a date that works.
