Great service, experience wasn't as expected - I am rating this 5 stars because the driver, servers, and boat captains were all fantastic. Also, the food at the drop off was fantastic. That said, the actual experience was a let down. We went on an overcast day, so the microbes did not get as charged. It also wasn't an ideal moon phase (new moon is best). Lastly, the swimming off the boat is above some really icky mud/plants so you can't really stand. We did our tour end of January.

Excellent excursion. - The trip from our hotel was smooth and our driver Desmond made sure we arrived safely. He told us about the history of the towns we went through and was attentive to every detail…checking in if we were hot/cold comfortable during the 45 min trip to luminous lagoon. The lagoon was very neat, but if you are planning this take a waterproof cover for your phone so u can get some pictures!

A must-do in Jamaica - This is a must do for anyone visiting Jamaica. It’s such a unique experience and no photos do it justice. We ended up sharing a tour with a family which only added to the experience. The boat crew who bring you out are super fun and add to the experience giving you information about the lagoon and surrounding area and also helped take photos of us in the water and knew some tricks. Our driver Desmond was also great and gave us lots of information about things to do and tips on plans we had made.

Amazing time - This tour was awesome! The guides are so friendly and humorous (We had Captain Jack, Spider-Man the life guard and paparazzi Marios). This was one of the highlights of our trips.

Fun evening event. - Fun evening trip close to the Bahia. Depending on the weather how bright the colors are. They have a nice bar while you wait. You are on the boat about 60-90 minutes.

Hard to see on a bright night - If you are lucky you will get to see them, but it is sooooo difficult to actually take a picture of it. I guess so many boats do the trips that affects the water. We went on a full moon night so it was very very difficult to see it. But it is an amazing natural thing
