La Parguera Bio Bay Boat Tour

See Bioluminescence on a La Parguera Bioluminescent Bay Tour

Discover la Parguera, a small fisherman village that has become very popular during the past years, located on the South West part of Puerto Rico.

Enjoy the lush mountain views, the Southern coastal area and appreciate the change of topography as we drive to Lajas.

Once we arrive will stop for an appetizer at one of the local restaurants.

We will then head out on the boat and cruise for about 20 minutes while passing by floating homes and enjoying the views. Initial stop is to visit a cay. Here you will have the opportunity to swim on its pristine waters and watch the sunset (during summer months).

Once dark we will move to another area where you will be able to experience the bioluminescence first hand. Our bilingual guides will explain the fragile ecology of the plants and animals of the bay, give interpretive star lectures, and then park the boat in an area of high bioluminescent concentration, giving visitors the chance to view the millions of glowing creatures. We are going to have time to swim in the BioBay.
