What the combo includes
A Cayo Icacos plus Bioluminescent Bay combo pairs a daytime catamaran to the cay with a nighttime kayak in the Laguna Grande bio bay near Fajardo. Two of the east coast's top experiences in one logistical run.
Why book the combo
Both leave from the Fajardo area, so a combo saves you a second 50 minute drive from San Juan. You get the white sand cay and reef by day and glowing plankton by night.
Combos run about 170 to 200 dollars per person and make for a long 12 hour day. The catamaran is mid day, then a break, then the bio bay kayak after dark.
Who it suits
Travelers with limited days who want maximum value
Couples and active groups who do not mind a long day
Anyone basing the trip around the east coast
Tips
Book the bio bay portion near a new moon for the brightest glow. Bring a change of clothes and bug spray for the evening kayak, and a reusable water bottle for the day.
