“This was a great experience that everybody should do at least once in their life. Especially when visiting Puerto Rico. The tour guide was very personable and nice. The group we were with was super friendly. Only downside I can think of is the fact that I am 6’6” and the kayak was uncomfortable at times. Not to mention that it started to flood with water! But it’s was fun either way and it’ll be a funny story to tell about how I almost sunk in the bio bay 😁”
