We took the La Parguera Glowing Bio Bay Boat Tour offered by Bespoke Lifestyle Management, booked through Project Expedition.
This tour is an absolute must! As everyone says, there are only five bioluminescent bays in the world—and three of them are in Puerto Rico. La Parguera is the only one where you’re allowed to swim, which makes the experience even more magical.
Beyond the bio bay itself—which was easily one of the most unique and awe-inspiring experiences of my life—the entire tour was fantastic. The drive across the island gave us a glimpse of Puerto Rico’s stunningly diverse landscape, followed by a delicious food stop in La Parguera, a relaxing swim around a sandbar with beautiful mangroves, and a fun moment watching tarpons being fed.
Our guide was excellent—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the island. Highly recommend!
La Parguera, a small fishing village in Lajas has reborn in recent years. Due to its geographical location it offers one of the best preserved coral reef systems and mangrove forests in the Caribbean. Various restaurants and bars add to the local attractions. We will drive for about 2.5 hrs (bathroom stops offered), as you enjoy the lush views of the Central area that then changes to a semi-desert landscape. Upon arrival we will stop for appetizers (additional f&b costs not included). Watch the sunset (depending on the time of the year) as we head out for a 25 minute ride thru the mangrove channels. You will have the opportunity to swim at one of it's cays, before we head out to the area where the bioluminescence happens. Your guide will explain everything you need to know about these microscopic dinoflagelates that give off heat in the form of light when disturbed. Once we reach the bay you will have the opportunity to experience this phenomenon first hand.
