The Bioluminescent Bay at Mosquito Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico
The Bioluminescent Bay at Mosquito Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico is one of the most incredible things we’ve ever seen. It’s the brightest glowing bio bay in the world.
We took a tour with Bieque Eco Trips and experienced the bioluminescent, dinoflagellate filled Mosquito Bay in clear-bottomed kayaks.

THE GLOWING BIO BAY IN VIEQUES PUERTO RICO
Mosquito Bay or Bio Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico is an amazing place. It is the brightest glowing bioluminescent bay in the world. I jumped on a few kayak tours during the night of a new moon and saw this incredible light show.
Honestly, it was more amazing that I imagined. I had read a review or two, but wasn't sure if it was worth the trip to the island. It was. The bay is extremely bright, and until now, it was very hard to capture on camera. I recently picked up a Sony a7s which is a beast in low light, and was impressed with that it could capture. This has rarely ever been caught on Camera.
The government is doing a good job at keeping this place pristine. In some areas of the world you can jump in, splash around, use gasoline engines, and generally just destroy the ecosystem these little guys live in. Here in Vieques, Puerto Rico, you are not allowed to swim, or use gasoline. Nearby light pollution has to be kept to a minimum, and there give Bio Bay some days off now and again to recover. This is probably why it remains the brightest in the world. High Five for sustainable eco tourism. I wish everywhere was this forward thinking.
This was one of my best travel experiences. Like I said, it's worth the trip!

Biobay Mosquito Bay on Vieques island, Puerto Rico. Bioluminescent dinoflagellates amazingness
We did a nighttime kayak tour, on an extra dark night due to being near the new moon, on Mosquito Bay on Vieques island, Puerto Rico. The bioluminescent dinoflagellates were indeed absolutely amazing...video can 't come close to capturing it! But I did get some fuzzy footage on high gain, and some glimpses on low gain.

SPECIAL MESSAGE:
Vieques is a beautiful island, but their residents have struggled for decades. They have faced problems caused by hurricanes and unreliable transportation.
In fact the ferry is the only means of travel for Viequenses to get to the main island
for their work or even to visit a hospital. Other problems like lack of gasoline and
not having a hospital have been some of the challenges that they endure on a daily basis leading to protests demanding fair treatment.
There are several charity organizations working to bring medicines and help the people of Vieques, but there is much more to be done.

Bioluminescent Bay, Vieques, Puerto Rico | Today's special
Nestled on the small island of Vieques, just off the coast of Puerto Rico, lies one of the world's most magical natural phenomena. The Bioluminescent Bay, also known as Mosquito Bay, is a place where water glows with an ethereal, blue-green light at night. This captivating glow is caused by millions of microorganisms known as dinoflagellates that emit light when disturbed. As you paddle through the bay in a kayak or take a nighttime boat tour, your every movement creates a trail of shimmering, starry light in the water. This surreal experience allows you to connect with nature in a profoundly unique way, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking to witness the wonders of our planet's hidden mysteries.

Bioluminescence is Truly Magical
The bioluminescence this past summer was truly incredible. Peak season seemed to last about 3 months which is unique as it usually lasts about 2.
