We’ve got you covered with round-trip transportation, a guided rainforest adventure tour, and an evening Bio Bay kayak tour. Discover the hidden gems of El Yunque with our "off the beaten path" rainforest adventure. Our expert guides will lead you through muddy trails, across rivers, and to stunning waterfalls. Enjoy natural waterslides, a thrilling rope swing, and immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Puerto Rico’s premier tropical rainforest. It’s a journey filled with excitement and natural wonders you won't find anywhere else. As night falls, prepare to be amazed by the bioluminescent waters of Fajardo Bio Bay.

Itinerary
The Rainforest & Bio Bay Tour is simply a must! Experience Puerto Rico’s two greatest natural attractions starting with a scenic drive and a stop at a local fruit stand. After an interpretive hike on natural trails lined with beautiful flora and fauna, as well as some river wading and rock scaling, we will arrive at a hidden gem in the heart of the majestic El Yunque National Rainforest. In this breathtaking segment of the forest, you can swim in natural pools, refresh under waterfalls, slide down exhilarating waterslides, swing from ropes into the river, jump from different rock formations, and simply relax to the sounds of cascading waters while soaking in the beauty of this very special place. Enjoy dinner and a break at a local restaurant before the Bio Bay tour.
After receiving a few kayaking tips, we will kayak approximately 30 minutes through the Red Mangrove Forest to reach the Bioluminescent Lagoon. Along the way, your Eco Guides will point out the forest's beautiful protected flora and fauna. Upon arrival at Laguna Grande, the sun will set, and the magic will begin. With every stroke of your paddle, sparkles will appear in the water. The kayaks will create a swirl of light, and the fish will glow in the darkness of the water.

5Amazing rainforest day

5Fantastic Day Long Excursion
This was a fantastic all day experience! I would definitely do this again and having transit included is a huge help. Our guides for the rainforest were Rene and Amauri (I think that was his name). They were super helpful, knowledgeable, and patient. The mango and papaya from the fruit stand was the best and super refreshing after playing around in the rainforest. Rene and Amauri really made this experience perfect. The bio bay kayaking was a lot of fun and not too challenging even as beginners that have never went kayaking before. Brian and Miguel were great. Even though we didn't go at the best time to see the bioluminescent we still had a great time. Both groups were smaller sized and it was great getting to make friends with everyone. You won't regret booking this experience!
5Awesome time!
Amauri and Jamilex were amazing tour guides! They made this experience amazing and wonderful. They were very helpful. We had my parents who are older and they helped them through everything!
5Amazing tour guides

510/10 experience!! From start to finish
Great your guides Charlene was great along with the other tour guide I can’t remember his name. We had a blast and highly recommend doing both the hike and the kayaking even though it was tough
