Overnight Bio Bay Kayak Tour in Vieques Island

Paddle through the waters of the BioBay, a luminescent bay outside of Vieques, on this nighttime kayaking tour.

Overview

We are located in Vieques, an offshore island of Puerto Rico, you need to arrive at the island of Vieques from the mainland by ferry or airplane and you will need to stay in Vieques overnight as it will not be possible for you to return to the mainland the same day. Paddle through the waters of the BioBay, a luminescent bay outside of Vieques, on this nighttime kayaking tour. With provided kayaking equipment and instruction, simply follow your guide through the florescent waters and and learn about this natural phenomenon. Choose between an early or late evening tour; note that you must stay overnight on Vieques Island (not included).

Highlights

• Nighttime Kayaking tour on the Vieques Island
• All Kayaking equipment and instruction included
• Learn more about the luminescent phenomenon of the bay through a guide's commentary

Head to Vieques at your leisure, but make sure you give yourself enough time to meet your guide and fellow travelers at Trade Winds Restaurant Esperanza at Vieques half an hour before the start of your tour. From here, take a bus to the Bioluminescent Bay, where you'll hop on a kayak and head out into a mangrove. You'll reach a beach around sunset, where you'll have a bit of time to hang out on the shore and take in the views. Then get back into your kayak to start your trip back. As the sky grows darker, the glow of the phosphorescent microorganisms that give the bay its nickname will grow more vibrant, creating a shimmer with each paddle. Learn about the science behind this ecosystem as you paddle back to your launch point.
