Wild Puerto Rico, 45 Minutes Away

Vieques is the largest island east of the Puerto Rican mainland — about 21 miles long and completely unlike anywhere else in PR. Until 2003, most of Vieques was a US Navy bombing range. When the Navy left, the unused land became a national wildlife refuge, which means today Vieques has some of the most pristine and least-developed beaches in the entire Caribbean.

The most famous spots are Playa Caracas (Red Beach) and Playa La Chiva (Blue Beach) — long strips of empty white sand with water so clear it looks photoshopped. Wild horses roam freely on the island, adding to the surreal "time stopped here" atmosphere. Snorkeling along the rocky points is excellent — coral and reef fish everywhere.

Vieques is also home to Mosquito Bay, certified by Guinness as the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. Our daytime charters focus on the wild beaches and snorkeling — for the bio bay experience, ask us about our evening departure options.

What to Expect at Vieques

A full-day escape to the wildest, most untouched side of Puerto Rico. Here's what your day looks like.

🏖️
Playa Caracas (Red Beach)

Long empty white-sand beach. Named one of the best beaches in the Caribbean by Condé Nast Traveler.

🐎
Wild Horses

Roaming freely on Vieques since Spanish colonial times. Surreal to see them grazing on the beach.

🐠
Pristine Snorkeling

Rocky points and coral reefs untouched by development. Less-visited means more marine life — turtles, rays, reef fish.

🏞️
National Wildlife Refuge

Over 18,000 acres protected. Empty beaches for miles — no hotels, no vendors, no crowds.
