La Parguera Boat And Swim Tours

La Parguera, on the southwest coast near Lajas, is the only one of Puerto Rico's three bioluminescent bays where swimming is generally allowed (see Bio Bay Without A Tour). Motorboats run here too, so you can glide out over the glow without paddling. Expect a bay historically dimmer than Vieques, yet still bright enough on good nights to trace light with every stroke of your hand.

Which La Parguera Boat Tour Suits You Best?

Three boat tours cover La Parguera, each roughly an hour or two on the water. Mareaito Charters pairs the bay with a sunset cruise, rated 4.8 across 573 reviews. Joytourspr and Aventuras Tropicales both run shorter bioluminescent outings. Travelers staying in San Juan can also book options with round-trip transport, though the drive each way is long, so plan accordingly.
