Intensity of Bioluminescence
Puerto Rico is home to what are often cited as the brightest bioluminescent bays in the world. Paddling through waters filled with microscopic plankton leave trails of glittering light in your wake.
Accessible Locations
You don’t have to travel far off the beaten trail to witness the miracle of Puerto Rican bioluminescence. Get up close and personal with one of nature’s most incredible light shows when you book a guided kayak tour.

The presence of Puerto Rico’s mangrove forests plays a crucial role in supporting necessary conditions for high concentrations of dinoflagellates, the organisms that emit light. The shallow, sheltered bays allow these creatures to thrive in a contained environment.
