A unique and magnificent experience. You get EN the water and when you move....shine!! The water was at a nice enough temperature and was best appreciated when the moon went dark. The captain and the manager were always very friendly and helpful.
Getting to swim in the fluorescent electric blue ethereal waters in the starlight is a mystical experience, one of the coolest things i have ever done in my life! Well worth the cost, as everyone had a similar reaction as to how magical the swimming was. They require you to wear a floatie they provide. It was beyond amazing.
The excursion couldn't have gone better if we planned ourselves. The town had a festival when we arrived and enhanced the experience. We had an overcast evening to allow the bioluminescent its maximum potential and it did not disappoint.
A fun, amazing experience provided by friendly staff. Not often does one have the opportunity to jump into a dark body of water at night and just enjoy the resulting glow around you. We would do this again without hesitation.
Experiencing this added so much happiness & fulfillment. Seeing the bioluminescent water made my trip that much more memorable! So worth it! Definitely a core memory. 10/10 I just wish we could’ve stayed out a bit longer
The tour company was great, directions to check in kiosk were clear. Our guide did an awesome job driving the boat and explaining about the bay. He was friendly and answered all our questions.
Took the family to see something naturally wonderful. My kids loved the time they had to swim in the bay in bioluminescence. Beautiful sight and experience. Pictures cannot capture the magic
This was an amazing experience. It was so awesome to see the glow in the water. I wish the glow would last longer the second you don’t move you can’t see it. But it is a must do. Definitely want to go when it is a new moon.
This was a great experience! The captain was very nice and knowledgeable. The process was easy to follow as well. Definitely worth it!
An unforgetable experience! Our 5 year old son joined us and loved it and the captain and other guests were very helpful making it a welcoming and positive experience for him. The stars and bioluminescence were both fantastic, aided possibly by the power outage on the island.
Very easy to sign up and the firm was quick to get our waiver forms emailed out. Our captain Johnny was professional and gave good instructions when we arrived on-site. A great experience with 2 - 13 year old girls that absolutely loved it! Great memories were made!!
Great trip out to swim in the bioluminescent bay. Boat ride went off without a hitch. Its not a huge boat, but room for over a dozen people. Swimming in the bay, with the bioluminescence trailing behind every move in the water, was amazing. Great experience with memories that will last forever for our family!
At first I was a little nervous about a boat ride and swimming in the dark, but I’m so glad I did it! It was a really amazing and unique experience and our captain Johnny was great! Bring goggles and enjoy!!
What a great trip! Only 5 bios in the world and things the only one you can swim in. It was a no moon night and very dark which made it perfect! SUOER COOL! A must do!
This company, and Capt. Johhny, aboard the small boat Gina, was a fantastic experience. I would say it was a shame that only the two of us went in the water, while everyone else watched and stayed dry; then again, we were happy no one else did and we got to experience the bioluminescence all by ourselves. Definitely a MUST to swim around the boat.

Come swim in the glow of La Parguera!
Tucked along Puerto Rico’s southwest coast, La Parguera is a laid-back fishing village that punches above its weight when it comes to natural beauty. It’s best known for its glowing bioluminescent bay, one of only a few places in the world where the water literally lights up when disturbed. And what makes the bio bay tours here so unique is that this is the only bay that allows boat tours and for the guests to swim amongst the bioluminescence.
