Attractions in Fajardo
Fajardo is filled with unique beauty and magic by being home to one of Puerto Rico’s bioluminescent bays. Bio Bay Fajardo is also known as Laguna Grande and is one of the most famous attractions on the island. Experiencing this bio bay is a must for anyone visiting Fajardo!
Bioluminescence is the ability to glow naturally in the dark and is a common trait of many insects and other creatures worldwide. Here in Puerto Rico, we are fortunate enough to have microorganisms in certain areas which create this unique effect in lagoons around the island.
The other bioluminescent bays around the world can’t be compared to the magic of Laguna Grande. The Bioluminescent Bay Fajardo is home to a plethora of marine life with bioluminescent abilities. This creates a perfect environment to make the water glow once the sun sets. So, hop on a kayak and see the bioluminescent magic come to life with a wave of a paddle!
Several companies offer kayaking tours through Fajardo’s mangrove forest into the bay!
Each company offers Bio Bay Fajardo experiences to fit your schedule and budget. Tours tend to last about two hours each, and all the necessary equipment is included. Pure Adventure and other companies feature 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 waterproof cameras are recommended!
