Bioluminescence is a phenomenon that occurs when marine vertebrates and invertebrates emit light through a chemical reaction.

La Parguera, located on the southwestern coast of Puerto Rico, also has several bioluminescent bays, including Bahia Mosquito and Fosforescente. You must take a boat tour to get to the bays at night. Laguna Grande is located in Fajardo, 50 km from San Juan. The best way to experience the bio bays of Fajardo is through a guided kayak tour. Like all the other bays, it’s best to tour the island on a moonless night.

Mosquito Bay, located on Vieques Island, is probably the most popular bio bay in the world. It’s known for its high concentration of bioluminescent dinoflagellates. Many also prefer it due to its proximity to the old San Juan Metro Area in Puerto Rico. In fact, it will take you around one hour from San Juan. These microorganisms emit a blue-green glow at night when agitated. They light up the bay at night, providing an unforgettable experience.

FAQ

What is the Perfect Time to Visit Puerto Rico for Tours and Excursions?

We highly recommend visiting this enchanted island during the dry season, which starts in December and ends in April. During the dry season, temperatures typically range from 75°F to 85°F. That makes it the ideal time for outdoor activities like beach excursions, snorkeling, hiking, and scuba diving. Also, Puerto Rico receives the least amount of rainfall during this season. As such, you won’t have to worry about cancellations or disruptions due to bad weather.

However, the dry season also has its downsides. For starters, it is the peak tourist season in Puerto Rico. That means you will have to deal with larger crowds and higher prices. In order to avoid the large crowds and the high prices, visiting during the shoulder season, which runs from May to November, is best. The weather is still warm, and there are fewer tourists. Even so, you might experience occasional disruptions or cancelations.

The best time to go to Puerto Rico for trips and excursions will depend on your travel style and preferences. Regardless of the time you plan to travel, always take your time to check the forecast before leaving home.
