What To Expect
Meet your group 10 Minutes before your TOUR START HOUR AT THE GAZEBO in front of Tradewinds Restaurant. After that, board your bus to the Bioluminescent Bay. Remember that you will need to sleep in Vieques for this activity. Wind through the mangrove canals and out to the edge of the sea by kayak. Beach your kayak and explore the beach as the sun sets. At dusk, launch your kayak back into the final rays of the sun. Paddle back in as the twilight deepens, reaching the inner lagoon just as the increasing darkness allows the stars to shine. The darker it becomes, the more the Bio Bay glows and sparkles with every touch of your paddle in the water. You will learn many of the secrets of this complex ecosystem from your knowledgeable and experienced guide.

5.00Wow! What an amazing experience! I would recommend our guides. They were on time, safe, informational and provide a once and a lifetime experience of us. We went during a new moon and the bioluminescence’s gave us a show. There were so many stars too! We went with our family of kids ages 20-11. We did not have clear kayaks though :(

5.00An amazing experience with my husband and two daughters. Dion is very knowledgeable and passionate about the tour. Kayaking in a bioluminescent bay is a must when visiting Vieques island.
Beware of requirements far in advance.

1.00There was no experience. You must book travel well in advance. I communicated with the tour guide and was told since travel to the experience could not be arranged I would receive a refund. The refund was not received and the tour guide stopped responding to my texts.

5.00This is such a unique magical experience! We came with our family, including our four children under the age of 13. The guide was so good with all of our kids. He was extremely patient and answering all of their questions and keeping things fun and interesting.

1.00Really bad experience. Please don’t book this tour! We went on most bumpy ride of our life, walked through stinking mud with barefoot and ended up seeing nothing.

2.00The pick up was 45 min late and at the end we had to go back to house and sit in the van while the staff cleaned the equipment opposed to dropping us off first. Spots of the water were great but it was very spotty. The person leading the tour was polite and informational.

5.00The tour guide dilon was very friendly..we were not expert kayakers and were worried kayaking in the dark but he was super helpful and stayed close to us and made sure we did it right. He explained about the phenomenon and why it happens at the center. They pickedd us up on time and dropped us back on time. The tour lasted for.abput an hour and was worth it.
