Nice. Than I guess it is a pretty similar experience.

The motor boat tour I saw advertised seemed like it wasn't anything near the water level and the closest you can get was by agitating the water with a stick.

Did use a stick, but had the option of sticking hands or feet in the water.
Which we did.

I'm pretty sure it was 20 per day. I'm 25 though.

Chabad corp code is not 20 per day. Unless I just got ripped off. I just rented from Charlie's @ $25 per day online and I called and asked about Chabad rate and it came out to more expensive then their online deal (which came out to $171 total for 5 days)

Didn't do the motorboat but I can't imagine it has the same effect as a kayak where every touch of the oar makes the water glow and you can float with your feet hanging into the water and kicking around. As an aside I just went tonight in Vieques with Jak Watersports and it was amazing. They have clear bottomed kayaks so you can see each individual glow like little stars in the water under the boat

I had my feet in the water for as long as I pleased.

Cupped the water in my hands to see individual sparks as well.

I'm glad you enjoyed the kayak tour, I wanted to do that at first but ended up really glad we took the motorboat.
We had a great time.

My point merely is, for those looking to go in the future, you can go on the motor boat and still get the full experience...

Nice! How did it go with the ferry?

Ended up flying and I'm so glad I did! A friend who went right before me told me that the ferry was terrible and his wife was nauseous the entire day after. Decided to splurge the $34 pp on flights from ceiba (near fajardo) and it was such an amazing experience. Worth the money just for the flight (aside from the fact that it takes 10 min and you can show up 15 min before the flight as opposed to the ferry which ends up being a 3 hour ordeal). It's just 6 people on the propeller plane. No security, they didn't even ask me for id! Pilot had his arm dangling out the window. Was really a lot of fun, plus the views were simply amazing. Hopefully I'll post some pics when I get around to a tr

Thanx good to know. My sister wanted to do it but wasn't sure about the whole kayak thing. I will recommend this to her. What company is it?

We used Bio Island iinm. Shouldn't be too hard to find online.

I might have left my kayak and had a little swim in the bio bay. It also might have been one of the coolest things I have experienced.

Each way, but no extra for luggage. Officially you get 25 pounds although my wife & I each had 35 and they didn't even say anything
