Nightcap Excursion
Bioluminescent Bay Excursion
Sunday, February 28, 2027
•
Twilight / Dusk Departure
There are only 5 bioluminescent bays in the entire world—and Puerto Rico is home to 3 of them! If you are staying through Sunday night, join us to paddle through these glowing waters where millions of dinoflagellates light up like celestial starlight with every paddle stroke.
Option A: Mosquito Bay (Vieques): Guinness World Record holder for brightest
bio-bay. Located on the offshore island of Vieques. Requires a 30-minute passenger ferry from
Ceiba (or a 10-minute flight from Isla Grande / SJU) and requires booking an overnight
stay on Vieques since ferries do not run late at night.
Option B: Laguna Grande (Fajardo): Located on the main island (~1 hour drive
east of San Juan). Excellent option for guests wishing to kayak through glowing mangrove
channels and return to their San Juan hotel the same evening.
What to Wear & Bring: Quick-dry shorts or athletic pants, breathable
shirt/rashguard, and water shoes or strapped sandals (no flip-flops). Bug repellent and
sunscreen must be DEET-free and reef-safe. Bring a dry towel and change of clothes for after
the paddle!
