It was fantastic. We went with a five year-old and were a little worried when we booked it. Turns out she did great. The snorkeling was great. She had a life vest and was able to stay close to me. The whole family loved the stingrays and we got great pics with the starfish. I would highly recommend going with Captain Charles.

Amazing way to see the bioluminescent bay in small, modern and lovely boat. So few of these bays in the world and the ability to snorkel at night and see the luminescence was amazing. Justin, our captain, was kind and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

    This experience was amazing. Jordan was the very best guide! He was wonderful with our 3 kids under 5 and told us all about the area. The boat ride was so much fun, we cranked up “Under the Sea” and “I am Moans” on the Bluetooth. We saw the beautiful sunset from the boat ! We were amazed at the Bioluminescent Bay and the water show from the plankton. The 3 year old made the glowing water shoot out like Elsa did in the movie Frozen. Our son really got the water glowing with his fast movements..This was a sight everyone show see and this is the company to trust!! Thanks Jordan!!

    A private tour is the way to go! There was 4 of us and we had a wonderful time with Jordan. This was the highlight of our trip!! Highly recommend and we would definitely book with them again.

    Beautiful and memorable excursion

    Such an amazing experience! One of the main highlights of our trip for our kids. The pictures can’t do it justice. The boat ride itself was enjoyable as well. Would definitely recommend!

    The Bio tour was great! Highly recommend! The weather was bad the night we were supposed to go and they kindly moved us to the next night!

    Brilliant Bio Bay!!

    Our whole group loved this excursion! Our captain Jordan was informative and kind (we had 4 children in our group) and we loved the bioluminescence experience! Would definitely recommend the private tour, our group of 8 was very happy.

    Thank you for your feedback! So happy you enjoyed the trip!!

    Amazing experience!

    We are a group of 4, on a girls trip. We looked at all the options for the bioluminescent bay tour but most were very expensive just to be on a large crowded boat. The 4 of us were able to book a beautiful and private charter boat with an awesome tour guide and split the overall cost for the same as we would have individually paid with other group charters. The experience was a once in a lifetime and worth every penny. The bioluminescence was so bright and beautiful! I highly recommend this tour. I will be bringing my whole family back to see this and will most definitely use this company again!

    It was a great experience! The pickup was a smooth process and the van was nice. The boat was comfortable and the ride to and from the bay was fun. We all enjoyed making the water glow while we swam in it! Our guide was great and provided interesting facts about the area and what makes the water glow.

    Absolute MUST DO!! Wonderful!!

    It was so cool that my kids didn't even believe it was real until they moved the water themselves! The driver was nice and the boat was perfect!

    It was an amazing experience to see the water light up. I would recommend this to anyone who comes to the Caymans

    It was ok. The person who took us on the boat was nice

    Marigene_P, Aug 2025
    It was fun. But the pictures you advertised make it seem like a large area is lit up. Not that you have to go in and move to see the colors

    Wonderful Excursion

    Definitely the highlight of my trip. It was our captain’s first week as a captain and he did a great job.

    Such an amazing tour and Travis was a great Captain/Tour Guide. Swimming the the bioluminescent bay was such a cool experience. Highly recommend. Went on the tour with two adults and two kids, ages 12 and 10.

    Amazing tour and guide!

    Our guide was so friendly and informative! Such a beautiful evening spent! Transport was arranged so well and on time! Boat was very clean tidy and comfortable! Bioluminescence was excellent and our guide showed us the ropes to have a enjoyable time! Thank you!

    Jordan and his boat were fantastic
