In the evening we drive to the nearby town of La Parguera to see if we can find a cruise to the bioluminescent bay. it is a short drive made memorable by the beautiful rainbow we observe on the way.
When we arrive we find out that we shouldn’t have worried about finding a tour as there are sellers in the parking lot already. We buy tickets for the tour and given that there is still time we go to a downtown restaurant and eat again mofongo as well as empanadas and flan.
The tour is unexpectedly like a carnival cruise with very loud music and lots of locals, likely we are the only tourists on the boat. It takes about 1/2h to get to the bio bay and while initially we pass quite a few brightly decorated houses in the bay there is no light that can impact the viewing.
The boat has 4 viewing glasses at the bottom and you can see the light created by the microrganisms as the boat slowly passes through them. It is however faint which as what we expected as this is the least luminous of the three bio bays in Puerto Rico. And then after 1/4h in the bay the ship returns to the harbor and we return to the hotel where we crash after the long and interesting day.
