Must do Puerto Rico Excursion - Rafael was a great tour guide. Sun Bay beach on Vieques was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen! The dinner spot in El Malencon had a beautiful view of the sunset and great food. But the bio bay kayak was unbeleivable. We were at the end of lunar calendar and you could still see the biolumenescence well. The kayak guide gave a great overview of the biology of the bay and knew his science. They had a great safety program as well. I would say this is a must do trip!

HIGHLY Recommend--do NOT miss! - A colleague recommended this Vieques day trip from San Juan, having himself had a disappointing experience with a bioluminescent tour offered on the main island: "Go to Vieques instead, the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world, and on an island filled with unspoiled beaches." I was shocked at how bright the bay is--and its bioluminescence increases every year on this unpolluted island. Kayak guide David was fabulous. Our tour guide Rodriguo was knowledgeable and informative, throwing in a side trip to gorgeous Sun Bay, where all of us took unbelievable Christmas card photos/screen wallpaper photos. Expect roaming horses, roosters, and the most amazing dinner at seaside restaurants like Bananas--home of the best mofongo on the planet. Don't miss this one--it will be the highlight of your vacation to Puerto Rico.

Great way to see Mosquito Bay when staying in San Juan - The Mosquito Bay bioluminescent kayaking tour is fantastic and I really enjoyed the tour. Everything worked out fine schedule wise and you get the same tour in the bio bay as if you were booking it separately. Having the ferry / transportation arranged in Vieques is fantastic and takes off all the hassle of putting it together by yourself and you don’t have to stay overnight. You’ll get the bio bay tour, time for dinner and about an hour to stay at a beach once in Vieques. Totally recommend!

Great bay, rushed other parts - Bio bay was amazing and I would recommend to go to this one instead of other ones on the main island. The beach and food part were rushed though so we were not able to stay long at the beach and had to rush dinner in a restaurant we didn't choose.

Fantastic bioluminescence experience, but exhausting logistics - The bioluminescence bay experience was magnificent - a truly unique experience, and fully recommended to anyone visiting the area. Our tour guide, Rafael, was also very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the tour. We were picked up at the agreed time/place, transported to Vieques via van and ferry, and returned back safely after the experience. The staff at JAK, who facilitated the bay tour, was also fantastic: they made us feel safe, looked after, and informed throughout. However, the itinerary itself was an incredibly long 14 hours, out of which only 1h was truly worth it (the bioluminescent bay). The rest of the time was consumed by transportation, wait times, and quite average (and strangely enough after all the wait times, rushed) stops at a beach and restaurant. All in all, it was a lot of waiting and traveling around, for only one really memorable hour. I would recommend the tour operator for this experience to review the logistics, itinerary and timings, as this tour felt overall inefficient and exhausting outside of the one fantastic hour at the bay.

THEY CANCELLED LAST MINUTE! Where is my refund? They said I’d be refunded. Please let me know how I get my refund - They cancelled the night before saying not enough people signed up. Where is my $445?! that cost us an extra night in a hotel, extra day of missed work, and a major annoyance after this was supposed to be the highlight of our trip

Be warned - They canceled the tour on us with less than 48 hours of notice, and almost less than 24 hours. No reasons provided and now we have a big hassle on our hands to try to organize a last minute replacement. Zero help or assistance was offered in rebooking. This is also the only ferry tour on the site for this activity... Save yourself the trouble and please be warned about "I Ventures". I see other reviews say that they've cancel without notice too, so it's not an isolated thing.

Cancelled tour - operator silent on refunds - My excursion was cancelled the day before, leaving me scrambling to cobble together my own experience, since I wanted to hit the bio bay during the new moon in November. The operator didn't respond to my question about refunds, so I was forced to discuss it with my bank. What putting together my own trip taught me was that an overnight in Vieques is completely worth the extra $130, and that if I did try to take a day trip, it would have been super rushed and chaotic.
