I came here for the first time with my wife and son. I had been here before a few times when I was…read moresingle to kayak in the lagoon. This time we went for a hike. It was a nice and chill hike. Very easy, flat for the most part. The only uphill hike is the on the trail to reach El Morrillo, which are two bunkers left over from WW2. They overlook the ocean and we're used to spot German U-boats. It was pretty cool, and the view is even cooler. The Reserve has beach access. I believe you can get in so bring a bathing suit if you plan on taking a dip. The same trails for hiking are used for bike riding, so be aware for bikers. Also, if you are riding a bike, be mindful of hikers. The Reserve has a fishing platform. They don't rent fishing equipment. You have to bring your own. We saw a guy catch a tilapia. The lagoon is great for birdwatching so bring those binoculars. Overall, this is a perfect spot for a family outing and also a date (of your date enjoys the outdoors). Note: the address and pin on this page are incorrect. The address says Bayamón,PR instead of Humacao,PR. The pin has it on Just off PR-3. That is wrong. It is right on PR-3. You will see the entrance on the right. I made the edit, hopefully the update will be up soon. This spot is worth visiting.

I hadn't hiked for a while and our 4 year old had never been on a hike. It was a lovely experience. He loved it. We spotted turtles, lizards, fish, birds, and a hermit crab. The Reserve is an excellent place to bring kids. Very family friendly. I hope to come back soon to try the kayaking and to fish. For fishing, you have to bring your own equipment. They also rent bikes. That would also be fun. They don't have food or drinks here, at least not that I noticed. Better bring your own. They have some picnic tables. Also, the Reserve is not too far from food options. You will find several places to eat nearby on the PR-3, such as the Malecón de Naguabo, which has good seafood places.

Your not just doing these awesome adventures - we also learned about the Puerto Rican culture, ancestry history, and they gave great restaurant recommendations. We rented a car but some other people on our tour group were picked up by Verdeazul for the adventures. Adrian even helped us get connected to a vet when we found a sato (Puerto Rican slang for a street mutt)! We have the most memorable memories from this trip thanks to the guys at Verdeazul! We strongly suggest booking something through them and would recommend it to all our friends and family. They take all the photos for you and email them to you so you don't have to worry about trying to capture the moment and enjoy it at the same time. Not to be missed!

We stopped for a bit at a swing and the kids had a blast. Some dude told confronted Brian about some permit, which brian told me later they of course had, but Brian played it cool and let the man say his piece and he went on his way. Really a memorable experience. Amazing views of cliffs on the way back. Thanks to Scott and Brian for the experience. We will see y'all next time for sure

Some roads were unpaved and the ride was bumpy; nevertheless, our driver guided and warned us about the terrain. We then got off and proceeded to the bay. Took off our footwear prior to getting on the kayak that had clear bottom. When you get to the bay and paddle, it can be difficult to hear the guide and understand where he's pointing at. The water in the bay would glow with movement. The guide also talked about some constellations. Overall, this was a very well organized tour. Though it was a nice experience, I was underwhelmed. They do not recommend bringing your cell phones on the kayak and you cannot leave your belongings on the bus. Some bought and brought waterproof clear plastic casing that can be worn/hung on the neck. Bringing the electronic devices is at your own risk; some still did and tried capturing videos/pictures but it was difficult to do so unless you have a nice camera.

In this bay is more like glowing twinkles in the water. You can get here on your own, renting your own kayak and I've also heard they offer a walking tour of the bay. We reserved a tour with a local kayak company in order to access the bay. If you are an experience kayaker, I would recommend you rent a kayak and go on your own. However, be aware that tours happen at 6 and 8 and the mangrove canal is packed. All in all, it's a beautiful bay both during night and during daylight.

I brought my kids back in July 2026 hoping to share that same experience, but the bioluminescence has faded dramatically. What was once a stunning light show is now barely a flicker. Tour operators still run the same trips at the same price without setting proper expectations -- understandable since it's their business, but disappointing for visitors. Practical tip: don't bother waiting for a later evening tour hoping for better glow. At this point it's just a regular kayak trip -- the only difference later at night is that you're paddling in the dark instead of at dusk. If you want a nice kayak outing, it's fine. If you're chasing the bioluminescent magic this place is famous for, temper your expectations.

They gave us a tarp to put over our heads to try and see anything but there was nothing. The tour guides were nice but they knew there wasn't going to be anything visible. They told us the tide was too high and there was too much water coming in to see the organisms. I bet the tour would be worth it if what you are there to see, was actually there. I know they say no refunds but my recommendation to this company would be to let people know upfront if they know there isn't any visible bioluminescent organisms visible that day so that people can make their own choice on whether or not kayaking with mosquitos is worth seeing a dark bay. I would've chosen to forego my money and skip the misery then to be subjected to a dark paddle with a bunch of mosquitos and sargassum.
