Cruises from Esperanza
Esperanza is a town on the south coast of the Isla de Vieques, an island-municipality of Puerto Rico in the northeastern Caribbean. Like mainland Puerto Rico the island is US territory, though it retains strong Spanish influences from 400 years of Spanish ownership. Until 2003 the majority of Vieques was closed off by the US Navy, and the island remained almost entirely undeveloped for tourism. This lack of development is now marketed as a key attraction.

Snorkeling is excellent, and aside from archeological sites, such as La Hueca and deserted beaches, a unique feature of Vieques is the presence of pristine bioluminescent bays.
