SPECIAL NOTE: Dear guest, keep in mind that the bioluminescence is very unpredictable and is a natural phenomenon that is influenced by several factors, which cannot be controlled, nor predicted. For this reason, it's very difficult to say when the water glows more. The glowing effect can vary from very visible to minimal or none without previous notice. Pure Adventure cannot be held responsible in the eventuality that the bay doesn't light up. On certain nights guides may use a tarp to enhance the visibility of the bioluminescence. With or without the glow this tour is awesome! We guarantee that you and your family will have a great time. Our guides are marine biologists and because of this, they have the knowledge and experience to provide a fun and educational tour adding more value to this top-night attraction. GUEST VISITING VIEQUES & CULEBRA ISLANDS: As local tourists, we know that is a must to visit our beautiful Spanish Virgin Islands off the East Coast, Vieques & Culebra. However, we strongly suggest that our clients plan their visit to Vieques & Culebra on a different day from their reservation to the Bio Bay excursion. The Ferry service might not be on time for your trip back or might be too crowded and Pure Adventure will not provide any refunds or reschedule your tour. We will not make any exceptions if the guest does not arrive on time for the excursion. Keep in mind we offer Vieques and Culebra Snorkel or Dive tours and take you on our personal boat. This is a safe way to visit the islands and to stay away from the hassle that is the ferry. CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS: We rarely do pick up from the cruise ships because of the strict departure and arrival times. Please keep in mind that if for any reason the tour or the transportation is held back or late we will not be held responsible if your cruise leaves. The drive from the cruise port to the meeting site is about 1 hour and 30 minutes but since we need to pick up more people from other locations we estimate a 2-hour drive and maybe a little more depending on the traffic.
