Eddy and Angel were so amazing with transportation and providing us with a fun educational experience. This is a must
I took my camera since it's not as wet as kayak. My camera was very safe and I got some cool photos!
We were unfortunately unable to participate in the bioluminescent tour due to environmental issues of excess seaweed in Mosquito Bay which apparently made the boat inoperable. Our tour was canceled on the day of by the operator, I was only able to receive my full refund after multiple attempts to contact the tour operator and by contacting Viator directly.
The Bio bay is unique, but the tour on the boat, at a $100 per person, is brutally expensive. You'll be given a plastic pole to move the water surface and see the luminisence for a while, the wait on the middle of the lagoon looking at the stars, and back to the pier. A fair price would be $35-40 per person, but $200 for a couple, for a 40 min boat ride is, in my opinion, too much.
This is the 2nd time we have done a bio tour. 1st was at Fajardo in Kayaks. This is our 2nd at Vieques in a boat. We have 2 young kids and this boat was the “way to go”/ and worth it! I recommend you stay overnight at the island Vieques so to have peace of mind and no rushed feeling trying to catch the ferry back to the main island. This is how we did it. 2 night stay at Vieques. 730PM (yes it’s dark already sunset is 7PM) tour. I brought a small bag on board with some waters only. We enjoyed the stars & YES saw the bioluminescence. In my opinion it is not what a lot of the pictures online show, but it is absolutely worth it. Such a magical experience and I’m not impressed easily. Either way best to go in with low expectations, not what social media shows you & enjoy the experience and what you will see!
Excellent experience! Very well organized tour. We were there with our 2 children (14 and 10 years old). We took the 7 pm tour to be able to take the ferry back ... without problem you can request a taxi to get to the pier in front of the start of the tour (10 dollars / pers ...)
Doing the boat tour was great. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and ready to take any and all questions. A very unique experience for any age
Highly recommend the boat tour! The staff are friendly and the guide is extremely knowledgeable. Overall an excellent experience!
We had a wonderful guide that explained the uniqueness of the bay, the strength of the bioluminescent creatures and how they are intertwined. He also took time talk about the sky, planets, and stars.
Cool but way overpriced. Teens lost interest very fast and so did the adults. It should be warned too that there is absolutely nothing near the pick up point and if you're on the 10pm tour if you dont reserve a taxi in advance youll be dropped off in the middle of nowhere and left
Hi, i Think there is a confusion we are the only legally company to operate at mosquito bay by the goverment. Our pickup location has a gazebo with lights, benches and a boat to tale photos with your family. On top of that we have a employee recevimg guests to check in. You 100% went with a ilegal boat tour that only cares about money and not give a great experience for guests. That is what you all lost interest on the tour. We have nevert picked up in a desolate area. The worst part is they dont have no where to leave a review and we are being punished beacause we are the only one that has a permit.
