So, I've been digging up more information about the Bioluminiscent bay tours in Fajardo, PR. Las Croabas Lagoon has 500,000 to 700,000 of dinoflagellates (plankton) per gallon, so when you wave your hand through the water you trigger so many of them that your hand lights up with a thousand tiny stars. A trip to the biobay is a great way to end your day after a trip to El Yunque Rain Forest. There are two ways to visit the biobay: kayak or boat. Trips are about 2 hours long. The biobay is a protected ecosystem. This trips are regulated by the Coast Guard so they follow very tight guidelines and safety regulations. Trips depart from Las Croabas, a fishing village. I highly recommend you snack on fresh fish and Puerto Rican fitters before and/or after your trip.
Kayak
There are many companies that offer kayak trips into the bioluminescent lagoon. I recommend Kayaking Puerto Rico because I've used them before. Their trips are $45 per person. Here's more information:

If you would rather take a boat to the lagoon, you can contact Charlie at 787.422.7857. He offers two or three narrated tours (in english) per night for $49 per person. The boat fits 6 people.
Below is the lunar calendar. I recommend you schedule your tour between Dec. 20-26. Less moon = better view. You should make your reservation at least a week in advance.
