We\u2019ll walk a boardwalk teeming with people, music, restaurants, bars, artisan\u2019s kiosks, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our tour operator was Aleli Tours, a small operation run by a bilingual, U.S. Coast Guard-certified captain, marine biologist and ecologist with over 30 years of experience. The cost for the two-hour tour in a small powerboat was $150 for the first three passengers and $40 apiece after that, up to six people. http:\/\/aleliecotours.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/9181503609429467230\/7667613084744338268#\">Learn more about La Parguera<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/9181503609429467230\/7667613084744338268#\">Map<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/blog\/post\/edit\/9181503609429467230\/7667613084744338268#\">Aleli Tours<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We visited the Bioluminescent Bay in La Parguera on a recent Friday night and discovered a fishing village that has come alive again, post-COVID.&nbsp; La Parguera, in southwestern in Puerto Rico, is best known for its proximity to one of Puerto Rico\u2019s three bioluminescent bays, but it also offers mangrove forests to kayak through and &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/2023\/03\/05\/la-parguera-and-the-bio-bay\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;La Parguera and the Bio Bay&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[395,222,268,356,211],"tags":[524,367,27,266,28,9,12,261,262],"class_list":["post-2256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-adventure","category-lisa-blogger","category-puerto-rico","category-snorkeling","category-videos","tag-bioluminescentbay","tag-laparguera","tag-messysuitcase","tag-puertorico","tag-retire","tag-retirement","tag-travel","tag-travelblog","tag-travelblogger"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2256"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2340,"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256\/revisions\/2340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
