This daytime kayak tour through Las Croabas Bay, Laguna Grande Natural Reserve and Seven Seas will allow you to enjoy one of the most fascinating natural reserves on the island of Puerto Rico. The only location on the island where seven ecosystems combine make it very unique! Let the guides teach you about the ecology, flora, fauna, culture and history of the area.Love nature and kayaking? Then this is your adventure! The tour includes kayaks, life jackets, refreshments and guides that will lead you across Las Croabas Bay, while you enjoy the sun over the Atlantic Ocean! You'll leave the bay and enter a mystical channel that leads to a peaceful place where the mangroves create natural tunnels. The sights and sounds of nature surround you! Upon entering the channel, wind and waves subside and the red mangrove trees start to close in the channel, making natural tunnels. Paddle along and tree iguanas will start to appear on the shores and in the trees as they start to warm their bodies before the morning forage. You can also spot red mangrove crabs that climb the trees to avoid the kayaks. Bird life also starts to appear as the green heron screams out its threat call, while above us the magnificent frigate bird scans the reddish brown waters for its next meal of fish. All this and more as you paddle into the beautiful Laguna Grande!
You will start in the quaint fishing village located in Las Croabas (Fajardo). The activity will start with pre-waiver orientation and Kayak-101 safety training; this will take about 45 minutes depending on group size. At this point your activity will start, your guide will lead you to a beautiful channel surrounded by the four species of mangroves, which is a sanctuary for the following wildlife, such as birds, insects, small reptiles and crustaceans.
As you glide through the channel your guide will be giving commentary on the above wildlife and the role the mangrove forest plays in this fragile environment. The trip through the channel of Las Cabezas de San Juan Reserve will take 30 minutes; at this point you will enter a beautiful lagoon called Laguna Grande - here you will spend time relaxing with beautiful views of the Lighthouse for Fajardo and the El Yunque rain forest. Calm, quiet paddling leads us to the far side of Laguna Grande. Here your guide will gather the group into the wind and request you to hold! Once he is on the sandy shore he will call one kayak at a time in and assist each guest out of the kayak. Once the whole group is out, the guide will lead you across a small fisherman path to the break point at the beautiful Seven Seas Beach! Here, the group will have the opportunity to take a swim in the clear, warm waters or sit in on a commentary about the seven ecosystems found in this area. After a 30 minute break, you will return to the kayaks and begin the return trip back to the starting point at Las Croabas fishing village. This activity is packed with the sights and sounds of many of Puerto Rico’s natural wonders!
