Avatar bio-luminescent surf board tour

Reviewed March 20, 2015

Hector was at the Ironman village at the Puerto Rico 70.3 event in March of 2015. Two other athletes I met on the way to PR told me that they had booked a tour with him and invited me to join them. What a great experience! Touring the phosphorescent bay by surfboard is a truly a magical experience and Hector was an amazing guide! Tours are small and personalized and he really will go out of his way to make sure you have had your fill of fun before returning you to reality. Thank you Hector for showing me a piece of your paradise! Lindy Bradenton, FL

Peurto Rico and Hector Rocks!

Reviewed February 28, 2015

Hector's trips are so cool that so far I have gone with him twice. The first time he showed us hidden sliding rocks where we went down as if we were at a water park! Afterwards we went to a secluded beach where we could do what we wanted and Hector even showed us how to surf. Expect Hector to buy you little treats and introduce you to true Puerto Rican guisine:) The second trip we did was an amazing evening in pitch darkness. We went to these mangroves where at night you can see a world you were never even aware of. Avatar in real life! Bio luminescence! Once again this was an amazing trip. We got to see them on surf boards, paddling, being truly part of what we were seeing and experiencing from as close as possible. If you are looking for an amazing guide, Hector is you guy!

Best Guide (and now Friend) I have met yet

Reviewed February 4, 2015

Hector approached us on the beach outside La Concha Renassaince resort on one of our last days in Puerto Rico. He was extremely kind and was very approachable. Most of the tour guides in the area were somewhat sharp/ rude when I asked about their prices/times/trips etc. Hector first gave us his card and said he provides a lot of different activities on the beach, and additionally gives tours to certain spots on the island. We almost instantly decided to rent two surfboards and Hector met us down the beach a bit where we surfed for as long as we wanted for a very low price. ADDITIONALLY (and free of charge) Hector, without us knowing, took out his DSLR telephoto camera and took pictures of me and my gf surfing, laughing, and just hanging out in the water... He then, just days after, sent us those beautiful, priceless, photos to us by email. I will cherish those photos for the rest of my life. As we took breaks from surfing he took us to a legendary hotdog stand, and we met friends and family of his. He was truly a unique tour guide. After the surf, Hector told us he does other tours and offered us a price that was much less than the tour companies on the beach to do the bioluminescent bay trip. Hector picked us up, provided all necessary equipment, and took us on his "avatar adventure" that was EPIC. Me and my gf were blown away, and having a private tour for an amazing price was a blessing. Hector and I still keep in touch today and I will DEFINITELY be coming back to PR to buy him a drink and use his services for many years to come. You don't meet good people like Hector everyday, and the fact that he walked into our vacation the way he did makes me feel like the luckiest guy in the world. God Bless you Hector, I hope to see you soon.
