Full Moon Kayak Adventure

• Paddle Under the Full Moon

• Discover Puerto Rico’s Natural Wonders Under the Moonlight

• Guided Night Kayak Tour with Expert Insights

Our Full Moon Kayak Adventure is the perfect nature adventure under a full moon, and if your stay in Puerto Rico happens to fall during the full moon stage you don’t have to miss out on our Night Kayaking Tours!

Fajardo’s Bioluminescent Bay is best seen on the darkest nights of the lunar cycle, and if your stay in Puerto Rico happens to fall during the full moon stage you don’t have to miss out on our “Puerto Rico Night Kayaking Tour.”

This tour was developed as an alternative to the Bioluminescent Bay Kayak Adventure during the full moon cycle as the reflection of the moonlight on the surface of the lagoon makes it difficult to see the bioluminescent organism. But that same moonlight exposes mangrove forests, eight ecosystems, bird life, second oldest lighthouse in Puerto Rico, iguanas and much more of natures secrets that are normally overlooked on the darkest nights!

Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply seeking a memorable adventure, the Full Moon Kayak Adventure promises an unforgettable night on the water. Book your Puerto Rico night kayaking tour today and immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Puerto Rico.

The activity will start with guest check in, storing of personal items, botanical insect repellent.

At this point our tour will start, your group will be led across a small fisherman’s harbor to the entrance of Las Cabezas de San Juan Reserve here they will enter a mystical channel that leads to a peaceful place where the mangroves create natural tunnels and the sights and sounds of wildlife surround you! After a 25 to 30 minute paddle through the channel, based on traffic and tidal currents your lead guide will be stopping once in the lagoon to give commentary on the following points of interest:

• Mangrove forest and the different species.

• Bird life that inhabits the area.

• Aquatic marine life that uses the lagoon as an estuary.

• Information on the Bioluminescence organism.

• History on the lighthouse.

• Insight on seven of eight ecosystems found in the area.

At this point we will enter the lagoon called Laguna Grande, (large Lagoon) here we will paddle along the edge of the mangrove forest as we watch the stroke of each paddle light up a bioluminescent blue-green/white-green and encounter fish that look like shooting stars as they swim through the thick concentration of “Pyrodinium Bahamense” a species of “Dinoflagellate”, the bioluminescence is best seen on the darkest nights, so during the full moon phases the bioluminescence is less visible or not visible at all.

This will lead the group to our break point where beautiful views of the Rainforest and the lighthouse of Fajardo accompany interpretation of the natural area and good conversations. Now we are about 1 hour into our tour, interpretation of the natural area has ended and our group is now in route to “Bird Island” to view many birds that roust here at night! Once quietly rounding the small island we will start our return to the departure site, this will take about 30 to 45 minutes.

Tour duration is 1:45 – 2:00 hours in water with 45 minutes of pre-ride (kayak – 101) safety training, life vest sizing and fifteen minutes once back on shore for snacks, cold water and closing comments for a total of 3 hours.
