Bahía Bioluminiscente

A naturally glowing bay created by microscopic organisms that emit light when agitated, popular for nighttime kayaking and swimming experiences.

Tips from the community

Located on the southern shore of Viegues, one of Puerto Rico’s islands, is Mosquito Bay, which boasts the brightest bioluminescence in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Bioluminescence occurs when Pyrodinium bahamense, Dinoflagellates, organisms in the bay, collide with another organism or are shaken, producing a beautiful blue hue. The best time to see this unique travel destination is around the new moon phases when the moon is at its darkest.
