Excellent service from Jamaican Expetience Tour! - Our driver was on time for pick up, we got to see a little bit of the town then headed to our lagoon cruise. We felt very safe on the boat and really enjoyed our captain and his mates. The luminescence did not disappoint! It’s magical!! Our girls are 12 and 17 and agreed this excursion was a highlight of our trip! Highly recommend Leon and Jamaica Experience Tour!

Magical, unique experience - highly recommended! There aren’t many places in the world where you can do this. - Such a unique experience - there aren’t many places in the world where you can get in bioluminescent waters. It’s magical! At first, we thought the boat had a light underneath by the motor, but it didn’t. Captain Dave (aka Mr. Comfort, because he likes to keep his guests comfortable, and indeed, he did!) swirled the boat around in circles as we watched the waters light up. We jumped in and it was like we had glow sticks on our fingers and toes, but we didn’t. The more you moved, the more it lit up. So glad we did this, it was such a cool experience. Highly recommend!

Good vibes & great staff! - This was the first excursion my boyfriend and I booked after landing in Mobay. Pickup and drop off was included and very easy to arrange. The staff had great vibes and were very knowledgeable. The lagoon was beautiful and it was definitely amazing to see the water glow naturally. You need to be in the moment, pictures are hard to capture. We weren’t swimmers so they filled a bucket with water from the lagoon so we could have a similar experience to those who decided to go swimming. I highly recommend this tour. Great for families, book it!

Good fun with Good friends / Graduation Trip - The trip was seamless. We had a good time getting there and returning with an experienced and careful driver. The crews on the water and on shore were awesome they kept us engaged, played games and music and they kept the rum punch flowing. I can't wait to go again.

True Wonder!! - This is was just amazing! A true wonder of the world. It took about an hour to complete the tour. They grouped us about 25 at a time on to the boat, drove out, dropped anchor and let us swim or float. It was incredible to see the water literally light up! I will say, wear an old suit if you plan to swim. It is a lagoon and the water is very brown so my white/black suit is now beige. Totally worth it though!

Beautiful lagoon - The lagoon colors at night are amazing. They also offered complimentary rum punch or water. If you enjoying swimming at night you’ll love this.

Not that luminous - Visited yesterday . Booked through tui rep at our hotel . Coach seemed to take ages as a few pick ups on the way and guests not ready . Driver had to keep going in the hotels to find them . Wasn’t expecting the driver to take a detour on route either , guess where to ? A gift shop . Boat ride was nice and cooling though . Didn’t notice the water changing colour much at all , than back for a little show if a man limbo dancing and fire eating , which was good . Overall nice to get out of the hotel for awhile but certainly not amazing

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME - would highly recommend NOT doing this tour! ESPECIALLY if you’re British! We waited all day excited for this night time tour and we’re left extremely disappointed. It took us a 30 minute drive each way to get there and whole thing lasted 20 minutes from arriving, getting on the boat, swimming and leaving. I expressed my dissatisfaction to one of the women that worked there who was adamant that the workers on the boat said that we said we were ready to come back! Which was a lie! We didn’t even ride around to look at the water. The photographer only took 2 crappy photos of me which you could barely see any glow and they wanted a tip and to pay €30 per photo after paying€30 for a 10 minute boat ride. Absolutely money grabbing! And our tour guide said they always do that to British tourist’s because we don’t tip. Well if I enjoyed I would have tipped and bought a photo but regardless WE PAID FOR THE EXPERIENCE!!!!! It’s like they expect money for nothing. We’re hard working people who save up to come on holiday and enjoy these excursions ! And no welcome drink! No dancers or fire show. Staff had attitude when complained . Nothing like you see in photos the saturation must be edited! I’m so glad I didn’t get stung by jellyfish like others did in their reviews. I’ve enjoyed every single other tour I have done here over the years except this one!
