Itinerary
Arrive at Marina Puerto Chico in Fajardo by 4:30 pm. After check-in, we’ll depart on a scenic one-hour boat ride to Vieques Island, enjoying the Caribbean breeze along the way while the crew serves fresh snacks and local drinks. Upon arrival, our local partner, will greet you and guide you to the transportation that takes you to El Malecón de Esperanza, located on the southern coast of Vieques. Here, you'll have approximately one hour of free time—before or after your Bio Bay paddle—to explore the area’s charming restaurants, local bars, and beachfront views.
Experience a breathtaking night time paddle of approximately one hour in Mosquito Bay, the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. Stroke your paddle and watch the water glow with each movement—an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon found in only a handful of places on Earth. This unforgettable Vieques bioluminescent bay experience is often described as one of the most magical activities to do in Puerto Rico.
After the trip, return back to the dock with Snorkeling Puerto Rico for a return trip back to Fajardo.

Bahía Bioluminiscente
Admission includedStep into the water after dark at Bahía Bioluminiscente and watch every ripple ignite in electric blue-green light. Microscopic dinoflagellates pack this sheltered Vieques bay in concentrations found almost nowhere else on earth, turning each stroke of a paddle into a trail of cold fire. Bahía Bioluminiscente is at its most breathtaking on moonless nights, when the surrounding mangroves block ambient light and the glow of the water seems almost unreal. It is a natural spectacle that stays with you long after you leave the island.
