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!

    Absolutely phenomenal experience. It will forever be engrained in my fond memories. Planned a trip on a new moon and got lucky enough to find a tour guide with no other bookings. A real personal and out of this world experience. Seeing a sand shark literally glow neon blue underneath my kayak was spectacular. Very blessed for the experience and recommend it to everyone, if it’s still a viable activity.

I am from Puerto Rico and haven't yet gone to Vieques because of its remoteness, which is good for preservation. La Parguera, more accesible by boat in the west PR, used to be so bright when I was a kid but in my last two visits its not so bright even in low moon light. : ( I hear the one in Fajardo is accesible by Kayak.

My 1st time there was in the early 90's when you could still swim in the bay....mind blowing. I went again many years later when conditions of the bay weren't so great and it was disappointing. It sounds like the Bay is healthy. I'm going to VQS in a few weeks with the family and friends - I've got to get this hooked up ASAP.

    The Bio Bay is an absolute must!! If you guys do this when you go in December, a tip to make the experience better is to see if you can find a company that offers clear canoes. They are a few extra bucks but totally worth it. We rented one and it was seriously the most amazing thing I had ever seen in my entire life!! It felt like we were floating on billions of bright blue diamonds!! We've been to Vieques four times and fell in love with it during our first trip. A great place to vacation for sure. The locals are some of the most polite and friendliest people we've ever met. So kind and geniune. During a Friday or Saturday night locals all join up on the Esperanza Strip and play music and dance. There are little tents set up with people selling local things too. So much fun!! Vieques is amazing!!

    What great memories you brought us, Rick. I was stationed on Vieques when the US Marines had a small logistics base there. While it was an unaccompanied base (the military would not transport your family to the camp,) the commanding officer allowed us to bring our families down and live on the economy. This year was to be one of the best years of our lives. We sailed, shelled, Scuba dove, and had many picnics on "blue beach." We did have to guard our camp as "cowboys'" would raid ours picnics. Thanks, again, for the memories!

    We made many dives on the bay at night. Plus, We can remember shelling in the bay and a big shark swam in and out of the limited visibility.

    +darshyful Hey! Sorry I missed this. You'd have to bring along this specific camera. I'm not aware of any others can can shoot at ISO 256000+. You'd need a good lens too, one that can open up to f/1.8 at least.
