Winston is A++ - Winston provided superior customer service throughout the tour. He went above and beyond to show us the Jamaican culture and gave service with a smile. Even though we didn’t see the luminous Winston still showed us a good time.

If only I could give this a 10/5 ⭐️❤️ - I dont even know where to start! From the minute Winston picked us up from the hotel with his BIG smile, I knew this would be a trip ill never forget. Winston picked us up ahead of schedule so we enjoyed a beautiful car journey to the lagoon, and went through the amazing history that Jamaica holds. It was my first time in Jamaica (Jamaican heritage) and Winston made me feel so at home. I honestly felt like I was driving with one of my Grandads friends 💗 i mentioned wanting to get some guineps during my trip and Winston jumped out the car and grabbed me the biggest bag, no questions asked 🫶🏾. We arrived at town lagoon with plenty of time to watch the sunset and talked about life (and the benefits of beetroot) until the sun went down. When I tell you Winston looked after us!!! Welcome drinks and wristbands sorted before our front row seats for the fire breathing show. Absolutely breathtaking moments well before the boat trip had even started. Well respected man so everyone took great care of us under his guidance. As for the luminous waters.... a phenomenon words can never do justice. God really blessed us with the brightest day because the organisms were glowing under the stars. If you're not the best swimmer, life jackets are available. The water if no more that 5 feet deep and you get plenty of time to swim and enjoy! I crammed plenty of things into my short trip home but my time with Winston to the lagoon really sits on my heart ❤️ an experience everybody must have and only with Winston 😊 Winston, if you get a chance to read think, thankyou for bringing me the most special moments that will last a lifetime and more. I can't wait to visit you again share some more stories/experiences over your sweetcorn and avocado when I'm back next year 🙏🏽❤️ Side note.... you can take pictures and videos until your hearts content. Just no flash, so it doesn't interfere with the microorganisms and the rest of the groups professional pictures (£8-£14 if you choose to keep them and sent directly via Bluetooth 👌🏾)

I don't recommend it, because besides money and time, you need luck to see something - Very disappointed with the ride. We were not able to see a single light. All the other tourists on the boat left disappointed as well. The boat made several turns and found nothing and in the end the captain said the problem was the time. I need to point out: The weather was not good, it rained all day and it increased my disappointment. Because before the tour I contacted the supplier here and via WhatsApp and asked if the rain would not bother, if the tour would follow and the answer was that it would continue normally. Poxa, if the weather could have affected, we could have changed the day. Anyway, I lost my money and time on this trip that depends a lot on luck.
