About this experience
The tour differs because it is located in the Malecón de La Esperanza, the cultural and social heart of Vieques. This picturesque coastal walk combines history, local atmosphere and natural beauty in one place. Here we invite you to sail in completely transparent canoes illuminated with colored LED lights, which turns the seawall water into a visual spectacle full of magical reflections.
While paddling gently in front of the coast, you will enjoy the best view of the illuminated seawall, with its restaurants, bars and the joyful energy of nightlife that characterizes this fishing community turned tourist center. The contrast is unique: on the one hand, the tranquility of the Caribbean Sea and the starry sky; on the other, the music, culture and human warmth of the people.
More than just a walk, this experience connects you to the essence of La Esperanza, offering you a different, unforgettable and 100% Caribbean perspective.
