In the heart of a subtropical forest, you will reach the Tanama River via private access, well away from crowds. Following old trails said to be left by local ancestors, you will hike with huge limestone formations and thousands of springs making up the river walls. Along the way you will explore river banks and caves, and refresh yourself in the cool Tanama River water. Interpretation and storytelling are part of the experience, so you will learn local background and context as you move through the landscape.
After trekking along and through the river, you will return by tubing in calm waters, drifting downstream until you reach further natural pools. The route combines gentle adventure with quiet moments in a largely hidden riverscape, offering a close look at the caves, springs and limestone scenery that define the Tanama River.

You will meet your guide at La Parguera Lajas, approximately a 2-hour drive from San Juan. From there, you will board a small boat with a captain and head out across the water toward the Bioluminescent Bay. Along the way you will enjoy the coastal views as the captain takes you to a prime location for the bioluminescent activity, where the water will glow and shimmer around the boat.
This experience is presented in an intimate, family-friendly setting with small group sizes and personalised service. Expert local guides will be on hand to explain the science and local ecology, and to ensure the outing is safe, educational and relaxed—suitable for children, couples and curious explorers alike. Swimming is an optional part of the visit and is recommended, but it is not mandatory; no participant is obligated to swim if they do not feel safe to do so. The emphasis is on a peaceful, uncrowded experience that lets you enjoy the glowing waters up close with attentive guidance.

The experience begins with a muddy, slippery and rocky hike down to the river. From the top of a cave you'll set up for a 250 ft zipline that opens up dramatic views. After the zipline, you will hike upstream to a huge cave and jump into the refreshing water. As you move through the caves you'll see striking water curtains and springs. At the exit of the second cave there will be a short stop and you may choose to submerge into the water to visit a secret cave.
Your guides will then show you the best options for white water tubing. While you tube, you will pass some rapids and some amazing canons all the way to the third and last cave. At the exit of that cave you'll do a small climb and then hike back to the cars. Don't let the beautiful sights fool you — this adventure is for real adventurers and nature lovers only. Please do not daydream; if you are unsure whether you qualify, you probably do not.
