Island hopping aboard a sailboat charter
Feel like you’ve left the world behind and climb aboard a luxurious sailboat, ready to guide you both along the blue waters of the Caribbean. Sailing off the coast of Vieques is one of the best ways to explore the coastline, marine life, and catch some sun rays. Or kick up the romance a notch with a sunset sailing cruise around the island. Charters often offer both half and full-day excursions, with options for a private charter for just the two of you.
Get a chance to experience marine life up close with snorkeling during your sailboat excursion. Most sailboat charters bring you to secluded sites, inaccessible by land, for beautiful snorkeling opportunities. Or sign up for a charter that takes you to multiple destinations for a little island hopping in the Caribbean.
Visit the Black Sand Beach
While there are many beaches to visit on Vieques Island, the Black Sand Beach or Playa Negrita, is the most popular and most unique. It’s dramatic coastline features traces of black sediment (volanic ash) that looks like a work of art in the sand. With contrasting shades of golden sand and dark black sand… it’s an unforgettable site.
Experience the Bio Bay
Experience the beauty and magic of Mosquito Bay, the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. The bio bay at Vieques Island is the area’s most popular attraction and is a must for couple visiting Puerto Rico. See as Mosquito Bay lights up at night with a blue glow from the half-plant, half-animal microorganisms that live below the water’s surface. Take a guided tour in a kayak for two and bask in the beauty of this natural phenomenon together.
Glass bottom kayaking
If you would rather experience the waters together by day and not at night with the Bio Bay (or do both), rent a glass-bottom kayak for two for a day excursion around the island. During the day, meander through mangrove channels, discover offshore clays, and reach hidden snorkeling spots only accessible by kayak. It’s truly one of the best ways to experience and see the island from many vantage points.
Horseback riding
Known as the island of wild horses, Isla de Vieques is home to about 2,000 Paso Fino horses. Visitors will often find the wild horses strolling on the beach, grazing in fields and by the roadsides. So, one of the best ways to experience this unique aspect of our island is to go horseback riding.
Imagine both of your riding through lush tropical forests, with the ocean breeze keeping you cool. Plus most rides are on the sands of a secluded beach, free from the crowds creating a more intimate experience.
When you stay at Hacienda Tamarindo, peer out your room’s window, and you are likely to see wild horses roaming in the nearby fields and beach. It doesn’t get any more picturesque than that!
