Hello, I´ll be in Culebra next year, in a B&B in the island. But I want to do the excursion to the Bioluminisce Bay in Vieiques. Do you know if it´s possible to do from Culebra? If not... perhaps to spend the day in Vieiques. Thank you very much!!!!

You might want to look at the Vieques forum. The bay went dark a few months back. This has strongly impacted the tours. Supposedly some of the bioluminesence has returned but certainly nowhere as bright as it was. Very few trips are being conducted now on the bay and are limited to certain days of the week. You would have to fly to Vieques and spend the night to go on a tour if they are still being conducted. Good Luck. We are so glad we went a couple of times when the bay was at its prime.

I heard some people speculate about runoff from construction sites, but that could all be politically motivated and I do not remember the source. Listen to Radio Vieques (on the net) and they might have more theories! - consider the source and weigh in ulterior motives, maybe it just stopped. I also feel there are wayyy less fireflies than in my youth ...

Enjoy Culebra!

There are tours again and you can get there by flying vieques airlink which offers flights going in am and returning in pm. There is no longer ferry.

This is now what I am reading on the Vieques forum "It has now recovered completely! But do only go with a licensed operator.".
