Great experience, would do again
Puerto Rico Bio Bay Tours LLC的点评
点评:We ended up choosing this company because they had more availability on their website and we were booking a week out and not many availabilities elsewhere. We picked the 5:45pm time and this was great because we were the first group out. They provide bug spray that is safe for the water (don’t need to pre-apply). However, I maybe got one bug bite. They have a restroom at the place where you park slash kayaks drop in. No issue parking.
Long sleeve shirt and shorts was great, wore water shoes, have to get into water to get in kayak. Was hard kayaking straight with two people. Lesson in the beginning was thorough and helpful. Part of the tour (lagoon and start back down the canal) they have everyone turn all of their lights off (they also have a remote) to help see the bioluminescence. We saw some but wasn’t crazy, maybe due to city lights and moon phase. Super cool and fun though. Didn’t learn a ton about the canal, they mainly gave some info about the bioluminescence once in the lagoon. It rained on us a few times and I wished I had a hat and sunglasses to see better when paddling over the first ocean wave area (paddling to the canal). They had 3 guides with us. Great experience! Grabbed dinner nearby afterwards. We went on a Monday night and some restaurants closed earlier than we thought. A little sore in the arms the next day. I have some experience kayaking and I’d say it was difficult tactically a little with the turns and two people trying to direct, but nothing crazy. Once in the canal water is still and easy to move through.
They recommended everyone leave their belongings behind, however no one fell in and entry water is only knee deep. I think I could’ve brought phone in waterproof pouch and just had the rain to worry about. (Photos are from a girl in our group.)
翻译:我们最终选择了这家公司,因为他们网站上的空位比较多,而且我们提前一周预订,其他地方的空位也不多。我们选了下午5:45的时段,这很棒,因为我们是第一批出发的。他们提供水用驱蚊喷雾(无需提前涂抹)。不过,我可能被虫子咬了一口。在停车/皮划艇下水的地方有洗手间。停车很方便。
穿长袖衬衫和短裤很合适,穿了水鞋,因为要下水才能进入皮划艇。两个人划皮划艇直线有点难。开始前的讲解很全面也很有帮助。行程的一部分(泻湖和返回运河的起点)要求所有人关掉所有灯(他们也提供遥控器),以便更好地观察生物发光现象。我们看到了一些,但并没有特别惊艳,可能是因为城市灯光和月相的原因。不过,这真的很酷很有趣。没学到太多关于运河的知识,他们主要讲解了泻湖里的生物发光现象。途中下了几次雨,我真希望当时带了帽子和太阳镜,这样划过第一个海浪区(划向运河)的时候就能看得更清楚了。他们给我们安排了三个向导。体验很棒!之后在附近吃了晚饭。我们是周一晚上去的,有些餐厅比我们预想的关门早。第二天胳膊有点酸痛。我有一些皮划艇经验,我觉得转弯和两个人一起指挥在技巧上有点难度,但也没什么大不了的。进入运河后,水面平静,很容易划行。
他们建议大家把随身物品留在岸上,不过没有人掉进水里,而且入水口的水深只到膝盖。我觉得我当时应该把手机放在防水袋里带上,这样就只需要担心下雨了。(照片是我们团里一个女孩拍的。)
