anyone know about the lake with the fish that light up?

[cruzobsessed]

going to puerto rico pre and post cruise next year. (serenade christmas eve). i was told that somewhere in puerto rico is a lake where the fish are illuminated so if you throw a stone in and the fish have to disperse it looks amazing. does this place exist or was i dreaming it?

Are you, perhaps, referring to the Bioluminescent Bay, Puerto Mosquito, in Vieques Island?

thanks gtaylor, this is exactly what i was talking about. have you been there? we are going to be at the caribe hotel 2 days before and 2 days after our cruise is this a doable diversion?

No, we haven't been there, but read about it on one of our trips to San Juan.

 

I think it may require that you stay over on Vieques for the night.

 

We stayed at the Carib Hilton two nights before and three nights after our last San Juan cruise. Really love that place. Photos here.

Thanks for your praise.

 

We do spend a lot of time in the Caribbean; nearly every year since 1981 (but we're very young at heart), and have quite a list of islands (50 +) that we've visited. We take lots of notes, and are very willing to share our information.

There's also the bioluminescent bay in La Parguera in the town of Lajas. You can only appreciate this kind of things at night so you can either stay in the area which you would love the La Parguera area (beach area) or you can just go back that same night. If you go to Vieques you need to take a boat or plane and stay and it can get really crowded especially if it's a holiday weekend. You can do a research for La Parguera, you will love this little town.
