San Juan Transport for Bioluminescent Kayaking

[thatjoeguy]

We are cruising in to San Juan for a 6 PM to midnight stop in a few weeks. Four members of our group went to the bioluminescent kayaking, but unfortunately the trip through the cruise line is sold out. Due to distance/time constraints, we are a little worried about taking one of the tours from San Juan, and are just looking into booking the kayaking and transfer separately. Can anyone recommend a good transport company for four from the port to the bay and back?

Other than the companies offering the transfer as part of their tour package you have two other options: Taxi (expensive, may be difficult to find a ride back) or rent a car. There's a rental agency across the pier at the Sheraton hotel and driving in Puerto Rico is not much more different than driving in any US metro or suburb area. Signs are in Spanish but Waze and Google Maps work perfectly. The drive to Fajardo could take about 1:45 minutes or a bit more, considering you're arriving at the peak of San Juan rush hour. But the ride back should be no more than 90 minutes, more than half of the way on highways.
