las cabezas de san juan nature reserve

我们提前一天预订。5岁以下的孩子免费,如果电车人太多的话,孩子得由大人抱在膝盖上。一共可以分为四部分:路上、海湾、海洋和灯塔。我最不喜欢的是海洋。在红树林里听见那么多不同的物种,我觉得非常有趣。沿途我们看见了陆地螃蟹和大型蚁穴。灯塔的景色非常美,风吹得很舒服,而且我们走进了一间黑屋去看萤火虫。我三岁多的孩子表现还不错,不过觉得有点无聊。我应该把这次旅行说得更神秘一点,以激起他的兴趣。

这个地方很棒,但是需要预订。我建议网上预订,这样的话就可以选择英语或者西班牙语导游。如果带小孩的话,要一直在他们周围。有电车带你逛公园。

我们的向导非常棒,真是知识渊博见多识广。他非常热情向我们介绍当地风景情况,我们真是受益匪浅,尤其是我们8岁和11岁的孩子。我们真是在这里收获了非常难得的宝贵体验。大家一定要记得提前预约这里。非常棒。你绝对不会失望的。

自然保护区非常漂亮!我们参加的是下午的英文旅程。我们的导游知道的很多,我们7小时的游览非常棒!在自然保护区全程都开车到达每个景点,基本不需要走路。在每一个地点(灯塔、布满珊瑚的礁石海滩、还有红树林)我们的导游都会讲述它的历史和技术,信息很充足但不会让人觉得有负担。我们也有机会拍照片,在每个景点都能真正的逛一逛—— 我们不是一路坐车游览。保护局的工作做得很棒,不仅保护这些神奇的资源,同时也会教育公众。建议:记得一定要带水,涂防晒霜(或者遮一遮),还要带帽子。网站上建议带着杀虫剂—— 我忘带了,但是我们很幸运,没有碰到虫子方面的问题。

My family of four booked the English speaking tour on Wednesday at 2 PM. Our guide, Carlos, was very personable. When he knew I was particularly interested in birds, he went out of his way to point them out to me and help identify them either by sight or by their calls. Beautiful area, enjoyed the lighthouse tour also. Thanks, Carlos.Nancy Henke

Visited the park twice in one day, first for the daylight lighthouse/mangrove tour and again for the night time tour of the biobay and lighthouse. Biobay tour takes you along the boardwalk at night to see the biobay, not too bright if the moon is out but still worth seeing if you are in the area. Limited tours in english-make a reservation in advance. Small groups, great staff. Great way to support the park systems and the people trying to preserve these areas. Look forward to visiting their other location next visit. http://www.paralanaturaleza.org/home-eng.html

My husband and I took the tour they offer at night to see part of the Bio Bay and other attractions. For the cost we were very satisfied and our tour guide was awesome, very knowledgeable of his surroundings. For the Bio Bay all you can see is where the mangroves are at and with the stick they give you, you can move the water and splash and you can see the changing color blue all around. For us a few minutes was more than enough...if you plan to take pictures don't bother..better to enjoy the moment than try to take pictures you cant see....

The evening Bio Bay tour was boring...loved the trams but overall boring and the glow is gone...they say it is because of all the evening light around the area but really those little glow bugs are just not reproducing so much in the bay...we could only see them in the areas close to the mangroves.

We did the day time tour that takes you to the lighthouse, the mangrove swamp, and the rocky coast. The views up by the lighthouse were fabulous. It was the wrong time of the month for the biobay, but they had some bags containing the organisms for us to look at in a dark room. The tour guide was excellent. It was well worth doing.

Educational and interesting. The best part of this tour is the view from the light house - you can see the stars clearly in the dark of the night. We also saw the moon moon coming out and full - what a beauty. However, the full moon hampered what we could see in the bay the planktons. Note: there are 3 stops on this 2 hour tour and older folks can get tired by the time they get to the third spot. The private environmental tour company is worth supporting.

If you like tours where you can learn about local ecosystems, you must do this tour. I went to the 2pm english speaking tour. Karina was our guide and did a wonderful job explaining things along the way.

As a tourist over 55+ I was hoping this would be a good way to see the bioluminescent bay. Although I am a kayaker, some of the reviews made me leery to pick that option. The electric boats were all booked weeks in advance and the reviews for here seemed pretty good and I liked the idea of going with a nature conservatory. It was $24 for the night tour with 3 stops. Sadly the weather didn't cooperate with us and it was rainy. They were previously sold out of ponchos in the gift shop which was unfortunate. You travel by trams to the 3 stops. Although we were on an English speaking tour, the guide's accent was so heavy we struggled to understand what he said. The first stop was a light house where they did a power point presentation on light pollution, the bioluminescent bay, and the plankinton that glows when disturbed. The lighthouse was only 2 stories, so there wasn't much of a view. The second stop was the bay. The guide said it was an 8-12 minute walk but it was actually more like 20 minutes. Not a big deal except it was so dark on the boardwalk and it was wet & slippery. The group got split up along the way as people were cautious in the rain & dark, which meant some people missed the turn. My husband got worried so he went back to find them and lead them to the rest of the group. Only due to the fault of nature (the plankinton go deep when it rains) there wasn't much to see. The third stop was a dry forest, which was of course wet and you couldn't see anything in the complete darkness. This should have been a good tour, even using light conservatively. I wondered why they didn't have solar lights periodically on the boardwalk or use flashlights with red lights to help guide the group. They should have a staff member at the end of the group to keep everyone together in the dark. Their guides need to be able to be speak English clearly. The information was good and it seemed like a nice visitor center. I think a tour during the day might be a better choice. I would not say don't go for the night tour, but I would say keep your expectations low.

This is such an incredible resource for the area, I can't imagine being in the area and not doing this tour, especially if traveling with anyone new to Puerto Rico. We went at night in order to see the Biobay, and reservations are required, so book early if you don't want to get shut out. The tour itself lasts about 2 hours and is a great experience. The view from the lighthouse is amazing, where you also listen to a presentation on the science of the bay and the bioluminescent organisms (I'm a biologist, so I probably enjoyed this part more than most, but still, it was really good!) You then travel down to the biobay and walk along a nice boardwalk where you have sticks to disturb the water and see it light-up. My daughter, age 4, was over the moon about it all. Finally, you go a bit through the forest to the shore, where you look for termites (we saw a giant nest!), copepods, coqui, and maybe even a Puerto Rican boa if you are really lucky. As for a way to see the biobay, this beats the kayaks hands-down. I've found the kayaks to be generally poorly organized. Plus, it is not trivial to paddle in the darkness up a canal against the current without constantly banging into the trees / other kayaks, especially when the canal is filled with multiple kayak tour groups and is, simply, too crowded. There's no way I would have taken my daughter to the biobay via kayak, so I was thrilled to find this as an option.

Visited Las Cabezas de San Juan on 11/14. Educational tour done at night to observe the nocturnal inhabitants as well as the bioluminescent bay which was one of the most wonderful things to watch. Magnificent experience with excellent tour guide.

If you go to Puerto Rico you must take this tour. It's a Federal Nature Reserve that it is worthwhile. Please make reservations ahead of time. They take you through a tour where they show all nature from the beach level to the top of a mountain with spectacular views. It's definitely breath taking!
