Excellent tour company. Albeny (Beny) was prompt in responding to queries and follow up. Issac the guide was very friendly, jovial and knowledgeable. He took us to really good hike areas and swim spots. Gave us ample time to enjoy at each site. At the end, he took us to local fruit and food spot. Nice small place with fresh fruit shakes and food. Tour vehicle was very clean and looked new. Great job Issac and Beny. Keep up the quality.

This was such a beautiful experience! I was worried about going when the moon was brighter but they covered us with a large tarp so we could still see all the bioluminescence in the water. Fair warning if you’re extremely claustrophobic, you may want to only go on the darkest nights sans tarp. Also, be aware it’s quite a long kayak journey to the bay so come with lots of energy and coordination. All worth it though!

This was top of our favorite things we did while our stay in Puerto Rico. The tour guides were amazing. Fran and Claudia were super chill and hilarious. They made our ride that much more fun. If we are ever back in Puerto Rico we are definitely stopping by here again. We recommend it to anyone in the area.

Omg awesome!!! My 1st going on an ATV. And it did not disappoint. Awesome views, the ATV were clean, and great. The guide was totally awesome and patient (with me and my kids). Will definitely do again.

Luis was an amazing tour guide and I felt we got to see a lot of cool things for what we paid for. well worth it and prefect amount of time spent
