El Yunque National Forest
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.
Laguna Grande
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.
