“Tours By Luis” was started in early 2023 by Luis Velez.
Luis was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and has a passion for showing visitors all that the island has to offer.
Puerto Rico has some of the best bio bays in the world, which inspired Luis to start his own bioluminescent bay kayak tour company.
Luis strives to provide the best possible customer service to all guests. If this is your first time visiting Puerto Rico, and you want to experience the magic of the bioluminescent bays, then experience it with Luis!
The bioluminescence is only visible for about 2.5 weeks of each month due to the moon rise/set times, and moon phase.
Some companies operate every night, even when the bioluminescence isn’t visible. It is important that you don’t book with these companies, as they are putting money above customer experience.
We only operate bioluminescence tours for 2.5 weeks of each month to ensure that our guests always have a great experience.
Check out our article where we explain why the visibility of the bioluminescence is only good during 2.5 weeks of each month.
Tours By Luis is the #1 choice for the following reasons:
- Transport provided: We provide free bus transport from Esperanza Beach to Mosquito Bay. After the tour is complete, we will drive you back to Esperanza Beach or your hotel for free.
- Clear kayaks: We are the only company that offers clear kayaks. Our kayaks are 100% transparent, meaning that you can see the bioluminescent plankton below you as you paddle through the bio bay!
