Head to Vieques at your leisure, but make sure you give yourself enough time to meet your guide and fellow travelers at Trade Winds Restaurant Esperanza at Vieques half an hour before the start of your tour. From here, take a bus to the Bioluminescent Bay, where you'll hop on a kayak and head out into a mangrove. You'll reach a beach around sunset, where you'll have a bit of time to hang out on the shore and take in the views. Then get back into your kayak to start your trip back. As the sky grows darker, the glow of the phosphorescent microorganisms that give the bay its nickname will grow more vibrant, creating a shimmer with each paddle. Learn about the science behind this ecosystem as you paddle back to your launch point.
