My husband and l were...

My husband and l were celebrating our anniversary. It was a very interesting trip and our guide , Israel, was wonderful. We learned a lot about the country. He also recommended a good place to eat.

A good way to see Puerto Rico

My husband and l were very impressed with this trip and our guide. His name is Israel. He was the best! I would definitely recommend this especially if Israel is your guide. .

Swimming in the bay is cool

The boat driver was nice, but he wasn’t a guide. He didn’t explain anything about the bay. They had floatees for around your waist that was great for the 15-20 minute swimming.

Great night conditions and swimming, but misleading duration and overpriced.

We visited day after the new moon, pretty good conditions to experience. The swim and the colors was a good experience. Googles definitely helped. The guide (boat operator) did give us basic information, but beyond that there was nothing much to share. Tour itself is advertised to be 1.5-2 hours, but it lasts only 45 mins. 15 mins boat ride back and forth and 15 mins in the bay. Advertising on duration is misleading and overpriced for the time we get to spend in the bay.
