What to expect
Itinerary
Meet your group in front of Tradewinds Restaurant, then board your bus to the Bioluminescent Bay. Remember that you will need to sleep in Vieques for this activity. Wind through the mangrove canals and out to the edge of the sea by kayak. Beach your kayak and explore the beach as the sun sets. At dusk, launch your kayak back into the final rays of the sun. Paddle back in as the twilight deepens, reaching the inner lagoon just as the increasing darkness allows the stars to shine. The darker it becomes, the more the Bio Bay glows and sparkles with every touch of your paddle in the water. You will learn many of the secrets of this complex ecosystem from your knowledgeable and experienced guide.
Stop At:
• Bioluminescent Mosquito Bay, Puerto Mosquito Puerto Rico

Amazing experience! The team made the process seamless and had a great system for keeping everyone safe in the dark. There was a mix of some history and some free time to explore. Adel was so friendly and checked in beforehand to make sure we made it to the island. You don’t have to worry about bugs but make sure to wear shorts or pants you don’t mind getting a little muddy. Photos don’t do it justice so it’s definitely something you have to see in person!Cierra_L

Favorite part was obviously the glowing organisms in the water. I did like hearing about the history of it too.

It was pretty if the weather is good. But it takes a LONG trip to get to Vieques. If you get seasick and feel too unwell to go on the tour, they don't issue you a refund. I'd recommend you to stay at the island for at least two nights to fully enjoy the experience
