Laguna Grande Night Kayaking Tour in La Parguera
Ready for a glowing, unforgettable adventure? Paddle through the mangrove forests of Laguna Grande on a night kayaking tour in Puerto Rico’s famous Bio Bay. This eco-adventure lets you experience the magical “sparkling waters” that light up the night, thanks to the bioluminescent microorganisms that thrive here. As you glide through the calm waters, each paddle stroke creates a trail of shimmering light, making for one of the most breathtaking sights nature has to offer.
So, what makes the water glow? The magic comes from tiny plankton called dinoflagellates. These microorganisms emit light as a defense mechanism when disturbed, creating that stunning, glowing effect. The unique conditions in the bay—warm, shallow waters and the perfect mix of nutrients—allow these plankton to thrive, giving you a front-row seat to one of nature’s coolest light shows.
Along the way, your guide will share the inside scoop on the science behind this phenomenon and the environmental importance of protecting this delicate ecosystem. It’s not just about the glow—this tour also offers a deep dive into the fascinating world of mangrove forests, wildlife, and sustainable practices.
Perfect for anyone looking to add a little extra sparkle to their Puerto Rican adventure, this night tour is a bucket-list experience that’s sure to leave you mesmerized!

FAQs
I’ve never kayaked before; can I still join?
This is a beginner friendly kayaking spot! The lagoon and mangrove tunnels are very calm and a great place to try kayaking for the first time.
If you are looking for more information on beginner kayaking, check out TripOutside’s blog post on Kayaking for Beginners!
When is the best time to see the bioluminescence?
The bioluminescent intensity depends on weather conditions such as rain, tide, moon phase, sunlight and many other natural factors out of our control. Ideally, the best time to visit is around the new moon and during the dry months, December to March with a midsummer dry season June to July.
Where can I learn more about bioluminescence?
Check out our blog describing bioluminescence more in depth at Bioluminescence Kayaking!
