BIOBAY KAYAK TOUR COMPANIES

Las Croabas Lagoon in Fajardo has 500,000 to 700,000 of bioluminescent dinoflagellates ( a plankton) per gallon, so when you wave your hand through the water you trigger so many of them that your hand lights up with a thousand tiny stars. There are many companies that offer kayak trips into the bioluminescent lagoon from the small fishing village of Las Croabas.

The microscopic plankton in the Bioluminescent Bays of Fajardo and Vieques light up when they are touched! Imagine a lagoon full of Tinkerbells fairy dust! Pure magic, the experience is actually indescribable.

VIDEOS OF BIOLUMINESCENCE

The above photo was re-created in the computer. I did this to give a feeling of the real experience and I think this accurately represents what you see there. People often exclaim when they kayak with us: " Wow, we thought your picture was unreal but it really is like that!" It's like that on rare occasion on a very clear, completely moonless and cloudless night.
