After the island, the bio bay

About this experience

This isn't a trip to Icacos. It's the evening plan for the same day. Kayaking Puerto Rico starts at Kayak Village in Las Croabas, the lot the water taxi beach day leaves from, and you paddle a red mangrove channel at sunset into Laguna Grande.

Kayaks take two people. Children from 6 to 13 must share a kayak with an adult, and there are weight limits. The listing rules it out during pregnancy and for people with back or heart problems or epilepsy. The glow is the point, and guests say it varies from night to night.

Timing works neatly. Discover Puerto Rico says the last water taxi back from Icacos usually runs around 4:00 p.m., which leaves room to rinse off and eat before a sunset paddle.

• Two hours by kayak from Kayak Village, Las Croabas
• A red mangrove channel at sunset
• Laguna Grande, one of Puerto Rico's three bio bays
• Two people per kayak
• Easy to pair with a water taxi day from the same lot
