Duke's Surf School & Eco Adventures
Explore Puerto Rico’s dazzling bioluminescent bay on a serene paddleboarding journey in Cabo Rojo. Swim or glide through glowing waters under the stars for an unforgettable night adventure.
Duke's Surf School & Eco Adventures is a Cabo Rojo-based outfitter that leads guided water experiences focused on natural marine phenomena and skill-based water sports.
The operator offers two primary experiences: the Bio Bay Tour and the efoil lesson and rental. The Bio Bay Tour takes guests into a bioluminescent lagoon in Cabo Rojo where paddleboarding under a starlit sky and swimming among glowing dinoflagellates create a rare, memorable encounter with marine bioluminescence. The efoil lesson and rental introduces riders to electric hydrofoil surfing above the Caribbean Sea, with expert instructors providing safety briefings and step-by-step coaching that moves students from lying down to gliding and toward removing stability aids as skills improve.
Instruction and safety are central to each offering. Experienced instructors lead hands-on lessons and safety briefings for efoil students, and guides accompany paddleboarders on Bio Bay Tours to ensure safe, low-impact interaction with the lagoon. Equipment is supplied for both experiences, and the progression-focused teaching method supports riders at multiple skill levels.
Operating with an eco-adventure focus, Duke's Surf School & Eco Adventures designs tours to showcase local coastal environments while encouraging responsible behavior around sensitive marine areas. Guests can combine a nighttime bioluminescent tour with daytime efoil sessions to experience both serene wildlife observation and a technical water-sport lesson. For visitors to Cabo Rojo seeking guided, instructor-led marine experiences, this outfitter provides both technical lessons and nature-based excursions.
