Telling you it’s algae won’t stop you from staring open-mouthed as trails of fluorescent green follow your hand in this water. There are only five bioluminescent waters in the world, and three of them are in Puerto Rico: Mosquito Bay on the island of Vieques off the east coast of the main island of Puerto Rico, Laguna Grande on the east side of the island in Fajardo and La Parguera on the far southwestern side. Kids will love the idea of traipsing through the jungle at night and then kayaking out to the bay, where you watch the water glow under the stars.
For the best stunning experience, choose a moonless and clear sky night to visit! Ask us at Front Desk for the bio bay tours available.
