Bioluminescent Bay

Vieques “bio-bay” is said to be the most famous in the world.  You will kayak or boat to the center of Mosquito bay and see the prettiest blue sparkling water.  Some say it is the 8th wonder of the world.  Many people travel to Vieques for just one night to have the experience of swimming in this bay.

You can schedule a trip to the bay in the electric boat or you can go by kayak.  Most bio-bay tours are $30 per person.  Mots of the time, you can schedule your tour after you arrive in Vieques.    The tours leave about 6:30 PM and sometimes there is a late tour at 9 or 9:30 PM depending on the demand.

The brilliance of the bio-bay is more intense without a moon.  But most any night, you will still have a wonderful experience.   For the moon schedule and  info on the bio-bay, visit Island Adventure tours.

You can call these guides to set up a tour.  It is rare that you cannot find a tour on a given night.  But during high season if you might call a day in advance.   It is courteous to the operators to call at least a few hours in advance.

When you to to the bio-bay, just wear your bathing suit under your clothes and bring a towel.  Leave valuables and your camera in your guest house except what you need to pay for the tour.   Unless you have a special camera, you cannot capture the glow on a camera.
