Discover the Wild Side of Vieques

Half the island is a wildlife refuge, which is why it still looks like this. Nothing here needs booking three weeks out — except the bay, which does.

Mosquito Bay

The brightest bay on earth. No photo has ever done it justice.

Go on a dark moon, by kayak, with a guide and experience the magic of the bioluminescent bay.  

The Beaches

Forty of them. Bring your own shade.

Caracas for the swimming, La Chiva for the snorkelling, Playa Negra for the black sand and the walk in. Beautiful views and zero worries. Pack the cooler at the front desk and go.

On the island

Drive slow. Something will be standing in the road.

On Vieques, the wildlife keeps its own schedule. Drive leisurely, give the wild horses their space, and embrace an island pace where the detour is usually the highlight.

The horses

Free-roaming, everywhere, unbothered. Watch them, don’t feed them.

Boat charters

A half day out to the cays with a cooler and a captain who knows the reef.

The fort & the ceiba

Fifteen minutes of history, then a tree that’s older than all of it.

Esperanza, evenings

The malecón, a beer, and the sun going down behind the boats.

Snorkelling

Off the rocks at Punta Arenas when the water is flat. Ask us first.

Isabel Segunda, mornings

Bakery, fish market, ferry noise. Real town, not a strip.
