Bioluminescent Bay Encounter

Bioluminescent Bay Encounter

Enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience, night-time kayaking in Mosquito Bay, at one of the world’s brightest Bioluminescent Bays.

From the small fishing village of Esperanza, your Yachting Land Adventure (YLA) begins with a short bus ride to Mosquito Bay where you are met by your guides. There they will provide thorough pre-training covering all aspects of the YLA and operation of the kayaks. Once inside your double kayaks and under the blanket of night sky, you will watch the sparkling swirls of water created by the paddles’ flow through the water and search for streaks of light created by darting fish around you. Continue paddling across the bay learning about the mangrove forests, wildlife that inhabits the area and the marine life that uses the lagoon as their sanctuary. Learn what gives this bay its mysterious light and the different ecosystems found in the area. Tiny organisms known as dinoflagellates create the mysterious blue-green light. A trip into the bay is a magical and educational experience not to be missed when in Vieques in the evening.

Notes: If you request a kayak for one person, or if your combined weight per kayak exceeds 385 lbs., please notify us by adding your details in the optional Booking Number field. Prices are based on two guests per kayak, therefore please purchase two tickets for a single kayak.

This Yachting Land Adventure (YLA) MUST be prebooked prior to embarking the vessel. Any remaining space will be sold on board based upon availability. Local transportation (not deluxe coaches) is used for the transfer to and from the pier. The journey is short, approximately 15 minutes, and sometimes over gravel and uneven roads. Water shoes (or flip flops) are recommended to board the kayak in ankle deep water.

This experience is only offered on moonless evenings.
