12. Bioluminescent boat tour in Mosquito Bay, Vieques

Two hours on a 24-foot electric catamaran—witness the bioluminescent glow of Mosquito Bay, recognized as the brightest in the world.

“We invested in two airline tickets with Air Vieques, along with an additional $400 in luggage fees since we arrived directly from a cruise, just to see the bay. So, we were extremely disappointed when we found out at 4:00 pm on the day of the tour that it was canceled due to the inability to secure a transport van to the boat. Several other passengers were waiting as well. We all had cars and could have driven ourselves or hired a taxi to the boat. They suggested rescheduling for the next day, but we were departing the following morning. I believe the provider needs to recognize that travelers come to the island specifically for this experience, and unless issues like weather, crew shortages, or mechanical problems arise, they should strive to fulfill the tour commitments.”— Michael_B
