a great experience from top to bottom. the shuttle driver was friendly and knowledgeable. he even gave us a bit of a tour pointing out local sites on the way to the lagoon. the swim and boat cruise was nice also. the guides there were friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. and the lagoon itself was beautiful. words can not express the beauty and joy of this amazing experience. we were able to get pictures and even have food, drinks and see a fire eating show on the dock. I would definitely recommend!!!!!!

Really enjoyed myself! The Capt was funny and so was the driver. I personally love the Jamaican culture and the driver made me fall even more in love with the knowledge he gave. The rum tasting was fun as well! Will deff do again next time I’m in JA.

Full description

Board a boat for a ride on the bioluminescent lagoon to see the illumination of the water that occurs as the boat disturbs the microscopic organisms inhabiting the lagoon. On this boat ride after the sun goes down your boat captain and guide will tell you the story of the lagoon and why it glows.

As your boat approaches the center of the lagoon, your captain will tell you about the folklore around swimming in the lagoon. Then you’ll have a chance to slip into the lagoon, which is less than 5 feet deep. As you swim, the water around you will begin to glow. Watch as your hands begin to sparkle as if covered in glitter.

After exploring this Jamaican natural wonder, you'll be transferred back to your hotel.
