My kind of night life! - This was an INCREDIBLE experience, especially for the price! The guide was friendly and the driver told us interesting facts about Jamaica the whole way to the lagoon. Highly recommend doing this, we were on the fence and I can’t imagine not having experienced this.

A check off the bucket list - A great experience as Jamaica is only one of 4 places in the world to view the bioluminescent organisms. Erol from Esteen tours was fantastic. He provided us with great history and information on our ride to the lagoon. He was friendly, reliable and always kept us informed on our resort pick up. We highly recommend this tour.

Remarkable - This was an unforgettable experience that reminds you god is good. Due to this sweet spot in mother nature, you can see blue neon lights leaving a trace behind your hands as you swim. Its so beautiful the Canon camera could not capture it. This is something you must see with your eyes. Jah bless Jamaica.

Nice Night Excursion - Prompt pick up, delicious included rum punch upon arrival to dock, informative and fun boat tour to the swimming spot. Plenty of glowing water! Water must be agitated to make the microorganisms glow Tip: bring cash for extra drinks and for photos at the end or trip

A must do at least once - All good. It took bout 35 min on a bus. The driver has some rap musoc cranked a bit too miuch so hard to talk and kinda painful volume when we arrived The guides were nice . The dock they take you too has a small.bar in a little town area that was sketchy feeling and the boat was old with a pull start motor lol. Still it got us out and back with a few minute ride ( some other companys were out there but.honestly i liked the intimate boat better than being on a bigger boat with too many people ) The water was warm and the bottom was mushy ..about 4 feet deep amd the waters light up with ever move . Glad we did the experience

It was ok.... - I was really excited based off the description to the lagoon and that there would be a fire dance show afterwards. When arriving to the location for the boat ride, everything was turned off no lights, music, etc. and no one was around. Our taxi driver found the owner, who was very pleasant and fun to be around. He offered us some rum punch or bottle of water included with our package. He also offered bug spray because of the mosquitoes, which was very nice. Upon boarding the boat there were 3 other "workers" only 1 of the 3 actually talked to us during the trip, the other 2 sat on their phones. When arriving to the spot of the lagoon, the water was not as vibrant as the pictures in description. This I know is above their control, we were only on the water for a total of 25 minutes, it was not very exciting. Upon returning to the dock for the boat we were not greeted by anyone and no fire show or anything afterwards, we got changed in their bathroom and got back into the car. It was an ok experience but definitely not worth the money.

A lot dependent on weather - Not easy to see the luminous waters with bare eye, and even harder to capture on the phone. With how much the trip takes, short experience.

Do NOT book this tour after a storm! - Unfortunately, we were told that a recent storm washed the glowing algae away so we had a very poor experience. Not the Tour Operators fault, though it would have been nice to know that we were not going to see much luminous-ness. The Tour itself, I've rated poorly because they made it so obvious that they were in for the cash grab in the way they managed photo taking - attempting to prevent us from taking our own photos (which turned out completely black anyway) & trying to sell us photos taken on their own iPhone. Needless to say, no photos were worth purchasing as (previously mentioned) the glow was minimal with much splashing.

Fed up, from London - The attached was the only photo I got by using night setting on my phone. Their 'special camera' broke down and they never told us that we would not have any reminders of the visit. Despicable! Is this how Jamaica rolls?
