Experience the Magic of Puerto Rico’s Bioluminescent Bays
Puerto Rico is fortunate enough to be home to three of the five bioluminescent bays found in the world; Laguna Grande in Fajardo, La Parguera in Lajas, and Mosquito Bay in Vieques.
Puerto Rico’s bio bays are easily some of the most popular and awe-inspiring destinations on the island. Don’t miss an opportunity to kayak at night and watch the water illuminate in shades of blue, green, and white.
Are you wondering what makes the water in Puerto Rico’s bio bays sparkle and glow? The bays are populated by millions of microorganisms called dinoflagellates who make their food by photosynthesis, which is the source of this spectacular glow. A little agitation of the water - whether it be by a kayak’s paddle or you hand, and the water lights up with this magnificent microorganisms.
