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.

We had a great time with George on the La Parguera Bioluminescent Bay tour. We got off to a slow start due to the weather/traffic delays but once we saw the glowing water of the bay it was completely worth it! Such a magical experience with seeing the water glow around you and watching sparkling blue diamonds fall off your skin when you raise your arms up out of the water. George has a great sense of humor and was a very good tour guide. He was kind enough to take pictures for us to memorialize our experience which was greatly appreciated. Captain Luis did a great job with guiding us through the mangroves and to the bay. The only downside was that a few guests were stung by jellyfish but that’s always a risk with getting into the ocean. No serious injuries though. It was such a great trip overall, though, and very much worth taking the majority of a day to see. Truly breathtaking!!!

This is an amazing once in a lifetime experience. George and the captain Luis were amazing. We had a safe trip to the town and then ate a meal before heading to the boat. Once in the boat we went to caracoles to stop and swim in the carribean sea and saw tarpons. Once it got dark we headed for the bay. We got lucky when we went because the bio bay was shining bright with movement in the water. It is amazing and the water looks like glitter almost. It’s a wonderful nature experience. There are other bio bays you can go to in Puerto Rico but this is the only bay that you can swim in, so it is a unique experience and I highly recommend it if you can go.

Captain Luis & our tour guide Jorge were amazing! We had a wonderful time. My children loved the boat and water so much. I really enjoyed the scenic road trip & our food was delicious. We have amazing pictures of the sunset as well. We were able to see the starry night as well. I highly recommend this trip, we will recommend it to everyone we know! We will be back to Puerto Rico, we loved it!
