Since we booked this last minute, we didn't have much time to check reviews. Having done several…read moreexcursions across the Caribbean, this one felt the least hospitable. The crew was quiet, offering little to no information about the mangroves or surrounding islands, we had to keep asking questions just to learn anything. The boat itself was in need of maintenance, with exposed, cracked cushions showing wear from the sea and sun. To our surprise, snorkeling gear came at an extra charge upon check-in, despite the website advertising it as part of the price. To top it off, there was no music on the boat, making the experience feel dull and uninspired. As for the snorkeling, the spot we were dropped at had barely any coral reefs or fish. When we asked about it, we were told that if we swam further, we'd find artificial reefs, not exactly what we were looking for. Overall, it was a disappointing experience that didn't live up to expectations.

We were warmly greeted and walked through the evening plans. Our captain was attentive and very knowledgeable of the area, sharing information about the fish and land around us. We were docked in a sand bar and allowed to get out and swim with tarpon fish! That was incredible. Our family snorkeled and swam and watched the sun set beautifully on the west coast. As we traveled to the bay after the darkness fell, we were offered life jackets and pool noodles to float in the dark bay. Our captain explained what we were seeing and why it happens there. Our best view was under the hull of the boat. Having adult children they were very impressed by this phenomenon. I highly recommend bringing extra towels and dry clothes, especially if you are eating post boat ride.

Reviews of other company's were not good so I didn't know what to expect but we were beyond happy with Mareaito Charters. We were able to catch a beautiful sunset while wading around the cay and through the mangroves with some drinks (we brought a small backpack cooler and it was not a problem) before venturing out to the bio bay. We got to see some huge tarpon swimming around also! The trip to the bio bay took a few minutes. It was a little scary jumping into the dark water but we were giving floaties to help us out. It wasn't as bright as pictures show but we were still able to see them! This was well worth the money, such a great time!

The tour was roughly two hours long. We got to stop and relax for a bit in some crystal clear waters. They even provide a mini bottle of water and fruit cup for everyone. The bikes are comfortable and easy to ride and navigate. It is not too stressful or overwhelming exercise. We had a group of about 5 in total that was out on the water with us. Wear a butt load or sunscreen, you will definitely need it. The tour guides also take pictures of you and air drop them at the end of the ride. So much fun, a must do when visiting Puerto Rico!

The other tour guides I contacted wanted to charge me from 125$-150$ a person and you had to have a minimum of 4 people, Like I said A&M did it for half the price of the other guys. At night he also does the bioluminescent tours where he takes you out and you can actually swim in the water he provides you with all the proper equipment neccessary the other companies would only let you watch from the boat as one of their employees would jumped in the water and splashed around the water, this man showed us the time of our lives we will never forget this experience I will always choose him 1st I would actually rather wait for him then go with any other company he treats you like family not just another customer.

I researched the main areas on the island to do it and chose this area because they tow the kayaks out so you don't have to paddle far. With little kids and doing it late at night, this was a factor for us. It did not regret my choice and this company did a great job! First off, we were late and they waited for us. Our group was 10 people and we headed out. It was a perfect night weather-wise as the sky was a bit cloudy, but you could also see the stars. The cove they take you to is quiet and calm, although there are other groups there. We got 1 hour of total time on the water, so you could split it up however you wanted. We kayaked for about 20 minutes and it was so cool, watching the glow everytime you paddled. There was a corridor leading out of the cove you could paddle to, but we decided not to do it, who knows if it would have been darker out there. We swam for the rest of the time and it did not get old. Splashing around the glow was incredible! You have life jackets on the whole time as it is pretty deep. They gave you drinks on the way back to enjoy!

We drive out on the boat about 15 minutes all black surrounding us. We get somewhere towards the middle and the guide is all like okay go. The wave of awkward silence gripped us. Because, Go? Go where? Certainly not in this pitch black ocean/sea/bay/river or wherever we were lol. It took the 8 of us a minute to trust it. Life jackets required and stay no further then 5 feet from the boat. A guy went first and we watched. Then my daughter. Then me cuz well, my daughter lol. It was a great and fun experience waving around watching the plankton glow with our movements. Waving water over our limbs they lit up like ethereal glitter. We all swam on top of one another remarking Primo/Prima (cousins) because we were all too scared to go out further or spread too wide. It's a pitch black water experience and you don't know what's in the water or around you. The stars were absolutely beautiful with the lack of light in the area. They too refused to be filmed. Divas. I respect it. It forced us to live in the moment instead. Forced us to store the excitement, joy and experience in our minds and hearts. He let us swim 20 minutes. After the first 10 we were too overjoyed to be scared. There were after all, 8 of us in the water at that point. We swam close and near the boat and did weird movements to catch the plankton in a good glow. The guide was experienced over 30 years and very cool and relaxed. He was trustworthy and I say worth every penny. Even if you can't get photos you get the experience. It was one of my favorite experiences of all. Absolutely worth it.

They stop in the boats and let you jump out and swim! The boats are about 20 people per boat.

The parking is a public area and you have to walk a little bit, but it's not bad! It's about $10 per person, but worth every penny! Go on a darker night for sure!!! This is a must if you are visiting the south side of the island.
