Jak Water Sports Bioluminescent Bay Tour & Rental

I had a great time kayaking the biolumenescent bay with Jak's tour last night. The communication with the company was great. They make sure you know where to meet up and when. The only reason I took off a star is because the kayaks were not glass bottom as advertised. They were regular plastic kayaks. I felt disappointed because they advertised having them and I was looking forward to using my first "glass bottom" kayak. Also, the tee shirt I bought there was of poor quality. The design is super cute. But I didn't realize until I got home that it is see through. I was expecting a better quality cotton shirt for the price I paid ($22 for long sleeve youth large). Our tour guide Cruise was great. He was informative, well equipped, and kept track of the group. This made me feel at ease. His fancy laser flashlight was able to point out some constellations in the sky which was an unexpected bonus of a all around great night.

We planned our trip to Puerto Rico to see this spectacular bio bay and JAK water sports made it a wonderful experience. The staff is knowledgeable and professional. The tour begins from the pick up point at their office where they provide life jackets and bug spray. This is followed by a bus ride to the bay where a guide explains the importance of this world’s brightest biobay. At the bay, another set of guides explain the basics of kayaking and give all the precautionary instructions before we head into the water. The real action/awe inspiring experience begins right when you sit in the clear bottom kayaks. The dianoflagellates glow when in contact. As you kayak, the water begins to glow bluish white against the pitch dark surroundings. The whole experience is surreal, mesmerizing and definitely worth it. Our guide David took us around the bay while educating us about the bay, the planktons, night sky and the sea. If you plan a visit to Puerto Rico, this should be the top most thing on your list. Ideal would be a new moon night but any evening a few days after the full moon is also good enough to see this bioluminescence. It was cloudy for us, providing the best views. PS: keep no hopes about capturing the best insta worthy pictures or videos. Nature has made sure you enjoy this in solitude. Even the best of cameras can’t capture this beauty. Booking with this tours was straightforward and all communications were smooth.

Everyone at Jak water sports were super friendly. They even gave us some homemade bug spray before transporting us to Mosquito Bay. We had David as our guide and he was super charismatic and very knowledgeable. Best part of the tour beside David was being out there for a decent amount of time. Just being able to fully enjoy the experience. I highly recommend using Jak water sports for your bio bag tour.

This was an excellent tour. Everything was well organized with a safety first approach. From the outset the guides were well informed and took the time to explain everything about what we would experience. Also having clear bottomed kayaks made it an extra special experience. I wish that pictures from non specialized cameras would come through but you'll just have to experience it for yourself!

We had a perfect moonless, windless night on the bay. The bioluminescence was amazing, especially when you saw the fish racing away from your kayak in a streak of fluorescent blue light. The stars were brilliant, with Jupiter, Mars and Venus highlighting the show. Our guide David was fun, funny and informative. Would highly recommend this tour, although a glass-bottomed boat probably wouldn’t be necessary to enjoy the bay.

Wonderful tour of the bioluminescent bay! The bus driver and kayak guide were wonderful, accommodating, and had tons of information about the island. Would highly recommend. Having the clear bottomed kayaks is an absolute must for this. David was a great guide for us, and answered all of our questions. The water glows in such a way that doesn’t even feel real. Not sure how long the water will still be this bright so take advantage while you can. You can’t really record what you are seeing with a phone so I recommend just going and enjoying the experience.

Such an awesome experience that words and pictures truly can't do it justice. This is something everyone should experience at least once in their lives, and I just really hope it's not my last. The whole team was great - our driver, Cruz (?) was extremely friendly and informative, and our guide, David, was absolutely amazing. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through this magical experience - he was fun and had the perfect personality for being a great guide, and he's also full of facts about the bioluminescent bay and dinoflagellates that make it glow, the mangroves, the constellations, history and cultural information that really highlighted just how incredible this whole place is. I highly recommend booking a tour with these guys, especially during a new moon or as close to it as possible for the best experience, you'll love it.

A unforgettable experience in my life enjoying the largest bioluminescent bay throughout the world. This beauty could not be recorded by phones. Their service was brilliant with patient narrative on this amazing creature, kayaking inside a clear bottom kayak, and peaceful time on this luminous lake. Definitely will try their other attractions service next time.
