Night Bio Bay Tour

Experience the Bio Bay at night. Paddle the tranquil waters of the Bio Bay under a tropical Vieques starlit sky as everything that moves through the water glows with a with a magnificent iridescence.

The following is a Bio Bay experience, from the book "Vieques:"

A Night at the Bioluminescent Bay
One night Habiba and I went to the Bio Bay with Abe, a really cool guide who has been going out to the Bio Bay since he was a kid and who really appreciates all it has to offer. We put our kayaks in at a beach called Playa de Don Flor that is accessible from the Sun Bay entrance.

We get in our kayaks and begin to paddle. There is no moon and it is almost totally dark. It is really dark.

That is, if you don't move.

But we are moving.

And everything and I mean everything is glowing and sparkling in electric greenish and bluish white light. The hulls of the kayaks and the paddles are on fire, and even the water dripping off the paddles stirs up the bioluminescence and little drops of light fall through the air like sparklers on the Fourth of July.

Surreal … totally.

And the fish are leaving twisting psychedelic jet streams behind them as they shoot away from the intruders into their territory. And some of the fish are pretty big. Even some sting rays. And they make a big light. What a trip!

Then we stop and are silent. The stars are shining above us and the air is crisp. It's a perfectly clear amazingly beautiful summer night and the three of us, Habiba, Abe and I, are there, in Mosquito Bay, in Vieques, in the Caribbean and on the beautiful planet that we are fortunate enough to inhabit. And we stop to catch our breath and we easily fall into a quiet meditation, listening to the sounds of the night, with millions of stars shining above us and casting their reflection onto the calm waters of the bay.
