Memorable Mosquito Bay is nestled in Puerto Rico’s well-known Vieques island. More importantly, it’s the brightest bioluminescent cove on the planet. If you’re looking for a magical nighttime experience, this is it.
As darkness falls, this bay offers visitors an astonishing, ethereal, dazzling sight. The secret behind this bio-bay is the wonderful bioluminescence created by wee organisms called dinoflagellates. Those in the know say you simply must take the kayak tour.
Additionally, try to book it on a night when there is little or no moonlight at all. For it is then that the famous bioluminescence is truly breathtaking. Book your room at the Casa de Tortuga Guesthouse.
