A little background on the trip and then the explanation of what turned this into a nightmare. Just returned yesterday from PR 8-29-08. Our last night we did the bio-Kayak tour. It was a dark, overcast night but the only glow we could see was with movement in the water, hands, paddles other kayaks and occasional fish. I am an... more

This is a really great one of a kind experience. We visited on a group tour. Our tour included dinner at a great little restaurant, a rather frightening bus ride to the bay, then a boat ride into the bay where we were able to swim. Really amazing. more

I went to Vieques with my family including a 10 yr old & a 9 mos old. I, the Mom, really wanted to see the bio bay by kayak and was not sure HOW to pull it off without someone having to stay home & miss out. I phoned Abe, he could not have been more accomadating. He came up... more

The Biobay in Vieques was hands down the most awesome vacation experience of my life. Swimming in that glowing water is like a fantasy world come true. Thankfully I didn't get stung by jellyfish, but two others did. They didn't seem too phased by the stings, and one even told me it was worth the sting to experience the biobay.... more

Puerto Rico is one of the only places in the world that you can experience Bioluminescence. This is where there are tiny micro organisms that "glow" at night in the water. There are several tours to one of 6 bays surrounding the island. When I went, I took the kayaking trip with my husband. You meet the tour group at... more

Toured with Abe's and everything was excellent. Only downside is the mosquitos when we launched and/or returned the kayaks. Otherwise, it was well-organized, well-led, interesting and lots of fun. more

We used ABE'S BIO-BAY for our kayak tour. The Bio-Bay was absolutely wonderful. Too bad our tour guide was a jerk. Abe, I hear, is a great guide but we got some young dude who seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. When we met up with him he asked for our money and then drove us to the... more

The experience of the those tiny glowing organisms was amazing! The water was very bright and it was a few days after a full moon. And the idea of kayaking at night through the mangroves was irresistable. What you don't know is that there are numerous outfitters waiting to get in the water and kayaks were lined up all the... more
