dope - came with my boyfriend and we had an amazing time! one of our fav parts of the trip for sure! the guides were great, super informative and super funny. yes the bottom is muddy but literally just wear water shoes or wear a lifejacket that they offer so you can float without touching the bottom. the mud definitely should not stop you from coming or swimming in it. and yes the water is murky when you shine a light on it, but with some common sense you’d know that muddy water isn’t crystal clear lol. it’s night time anyways so you can’t even see the murkiness just the pretty glow. and for those complaining about the jelly fish again i feel like it’s common sense that if you’re in water that connects to the ocean, yes there’s going to be ocean life in there. you take the risk of jellyfish swimming in oceans almost everywhere. i’d absolutely recommend this place to anyone thinking about going just check the weather before your dates. cloudy/rainy days means less glow

Wonderful - The trip was easy to book. Ainsley was extremely helpful! We loved that it was a small van transfer vs a coach. The driver was friendly and informative. You get a small drink when you arrive, but it's included! The boat tour itself was wonderful! The staff were hilarious and also informative. We lucked out and were able to time our visit during the new moon, so it was darker and better to see the bioluminescence, no clouds so you could swim on your back and look at the stars. The water was warm and lovely. The bioluminescence was brilliant! So bright and responsive. The crew helped us get the best experience by telling us to spread out a bit. We got to swim for about 30 minutes, and we never felt rushed. We didn't stick around for the fire show because we wanted to make our dinner reservation back on our resort, so I can't comment on that. Overall a worthwhile and easy experience!

Do it!!!!! - This was the best money spent on a Jamaican excursion. We loved every minute of it. Made you feel like you were a main character in an avatar movie. Would recommend this to everybody who’s able to swim and get on a boat. You won’t regret it.

No regrets! Jump in! - Go and Get into the water! I know it’s nighttime and the water is dark, but that only adds to the experience! If you truly want to experience the bioluminescence it’s by swimming! Our tour pick up was right on time and we were guided the whole way through the experience by amazing people! Life jackets are provided!

Great experience - Pick up and drop off was excellent! Our driver was an absolute gentleman who shared lots of local knowledge along the way. The tour was a little rushed BUT the experience swimming in the bioluminescent waters was unbelievable! Would definitely recommend going and booking through Viator for this excursion as it was fair, organized, and very professional!

You don’t get to see this in other places. - Nice and humorous crew, I enjoyed going into the water and see the luminous colors while moving your arms.

I would think twice before booking another tour with you again. Profit but also customer satisfaction and safety. - Transportation from and to was excellent, I’ll give a 5. The work done by the people in the boat was very good. Your tour was the problem. I’ll give you 1. You guys booked too many people on that small boat. It felt like being inside a can. Once we were in the water, the experience was over all too soon because the crew was overly concerned about our safety due to so many people swimming at the same spot—there were even instances of us kicking each other.

Dont waste your money, its extremely poor. Visit the bar and see Fire Guy! Skip the Luminous bit 🙄 - Pick up from hotel was fine with Shaun, in his minibus called Action Pack, he was on time but not the friendliest of drivers. Arrived and the team by the reception / bar were very friendly. We went with friends who are locals and they were also extremely disappointed in the muddy waters amd overcrowded boats. We both tried to video others in the water and the glow was so poor our camera could not capture it. Their own camera staff used flash so you could see a person in the water... My friend said "if they hadnt visited before they would have thought it was a hoax" The water looked as dirty as a canal! They brought water on the boat kn a bucket and even when you splashed around in it with your hand, it was terrible. Been to Thailand that was not mentioned but 100% better. Back on land the guy doing Limbo dancing and fire act was brilliant! Big tip given. If the weather / water isn't right... Forget it, big waste of money and they had 125 people on the boats tonight. Booked through Tui, will give feedback to them tomorrow. Disappointed doesnt come close, my local friends were embarrassed! Got to the point it was so bad, it was funny.... Except the Fire / Limbo guy 🥰
