? Full Description
Your evening begins with pickup from your hotel in San Juan, followed by a scenic drive across Puerto Rico’s lush countryside toward the southwest coast. Pass mountain views, tropical forests, and quiet towns before reaching La Parguera, a lively seaside village known for its colorful wooden houses and relaxed island vibes.
Upon arrival, enjoy a short stop for local appetizers and refreshments. Then, board your comfortable double-pontoon boat and cruise through the mangrove-lined channels and floating homes that make this region so picturesque. As the sun sets, the calm waters begin to shimmer under the Caribbean night sky.
When darkness falls, your guide navigates into the heart of the bioluminescent bay, where countless tiny organisms called dinoflagellates emit a blue-green glow whenever the water moves. Watch as the waves sparkle, and — if you wish — jump in for a once-in-a-lifetime swim in glowing water!
