Bioluminescence—the ability to naturally glow in the dark—is common to many insects and other creatures across the world. Here in Puerto Rico we are fortunate enough to have microorganisms in certain areas which create this unique effect in lagoons around the island. However, there are only a few bioluminescent bays in the world which could be compared to our Laguna Grande! The Bioluminescent Bay Fajardo has a plethora of marine life with this special ability. This has created the perfect enviornment to make our water glow like the night sky when stimulated. All it takes is the wave of a paddle.

Here are several companies that will take you on a kayaking trip through our mangrove forrest into the bay!

The many companies you can choose from include Pure Adventure, Yokahú Kayak Trips, Island Kayaking Adventures, Eco Adventures, Enchanted Island Eco Tours and Eco Action Tours. Each is located in or near Fajardo.

Each company offers different times and prices throughout the day to fit your schedule. Tours tend to last about two hours each, and all the equipment you will need are included. Pure Adventure and some of the other companies offer knowledgeable guides who can teach you more about the history and ecology of the area. Whichever trip you choose, a change of clothing, towels, light sandals and—of course—waterproof cameras are recommended!

Book a trip in advance and make this unique occurrence part of your next stay at the Farjardo Inn Resort!
