✨ Bioluminescence & Natural Conditions Disclaimer
The bioluminescent glow is a natural phenomenon and its intensity varies daily due to environmental conditions beyond our control. Factors such as rainfall, tides, moon phases and brightness, cloud cover, water temperature, seasonal changes, sargassum, water clarity, and other natural events may affect the visibility and brightness of the glow.
While our tour is commonly known as a "Bio Bay Night Kayak Tour," the experience is designed to offer much more than the bioluminescence itself. Guests will enjoy a guided nighttime adventure featuring the peaceful atmosphere of the lagoon, the surrounding ecosystem, the night sky, and the unique experience of kayaking in Puerto Rico after dark.
Because bioluminescence is a naturally occurring phenomenon, we cannot guarantee the intensity of the glow or that it will be visible during your visit. In certain conditions, our guides may provide tarps or other light-blocking materials to help guests better observe any available glow by reducing surrounding light pollution. However, the use of these materials does not guarantee visibility of the bioluminescence.
By choosing to participate in the tour, guests acknowledge and accept that glow intensity may vary or be absent due to natural causes. If the tour operates as scheduled and guests choose to participate, refunds, credits, rescheduling, or compensation will not be provided due to low or absent bioluminescence visibility.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to sharing this beautiful natural environment and unforgettable nighttime adventure with you.
Since we are not the only operators in this area, there may be more participants in the bay then the maximum number of participants we take per schedule.
