Mosquito Bio Bay Tours is a Vieques-based operator offering guided bioluminescent and reef exploration experiences. Located in Vieques, Mosquito Bio Bay Tours presents clear-bottom kayaking trips that invite visitors to observe bioluminescent displays as they paddle through the water. The Clear-Bottom Kayaking Bio Bay Tours let guests experience the glow of dinoflagellates while following an expert guide who leads the group and provides natural interpretation and safety guidance.
The company also operates a Clear Bottom Kayaking & Snorkel Reef Exploration trip that combines paddling in a clear-bottom kayak with snorkeling over nearby coral reef habitat. On this combined trip, participants paddle with unobstructed views of the underwater environment before snorkeling among coral and tropical fish, guided by knowledgeable staff. The snorkeling portion highlights reef structure and marine life in Vieques' coastal waters and offers a complementary daytime or clear-water exploration to the nocturnal bioluminescent experience.
Both experiences emphasize connection to the natural environment and guided exploration. Clear-bottom kayaks provide unique viewing opportunities for paddlers who want to see below the surface while remaining dry, then enter the water to snorkel where included. Mosquito Bio Bay Tours focuses on delivering guided, interpretive outings in Vieques that combine paddling, observation, and snorkeling to create memorable marine experiences for visitors interested in bioluminescence and reef life. Trips are suitable for visitors seeking immersive marine experiences and can be booked as standalone bioluminescent outings or as the combined clear-bottom kayak and snorkel reef exploration for a fuller day or evening on the water experience.
