Sparkling Places That Appear To Be From Another World

Puerto Rico

Have the most amazing experience at the brightest and best-known bioluminescent bay in the world. It’s like rowing on a tapestry of stars. It’s also called as the Bio Bay

Waitomo

This one makes to our list purely because of its uniqueness. It may sound surprising, but bioluminescence doesn’t just exist in the sea. Don’t believe us? Head to the caves in Waitomo, and you’ll be awestruck.

Reethi Beach, Maldives

Bioluminescent beaches are in the Indian Ocean too! In Maldives, Conrad Maldives Rangali Island offers night dives in which divers can swim through this glowing blue beam of light.

Toyama Bay

Toyama Bay, one of the gorgeous bioluminescent bays in the world. They are only 3 inches long and live at depth of 1,200 feet. Also, the Firefly Squids are considered as a delicacy in Japan.

Okayama, Japan

You can thank Vargula hilgendorfii, adorably dubbed “sea fireflies,” for the twinkling blue streaks and swirls decorating this beautiful coastline.

Vieques

The famous Mosquito Bay on the southern tip of this island is the brightest bioluminescent location on record—thanks to an abundance of dinoflagellates (tiny glowing marine plants).
