Save yourself some money because this night-time tour was not worth it. It's advertised as a "private tour/activity, only your group will participate." When my group and I got there, we were under the impression that we would have our own guide and boat. Turns out they just put you in a boat with other people (some boats had 30-40 people while others had 15-20). When I asked the manager about the private tour, he said "no, that just means that it's for private transfer from your hotel only," when clearly the additional info says "private tour/activity, only your group will participate." Also, this tour advertises that it will be approximately 45 minutes in the water. But, we were in the water for barely 15 minutes. Everything felt so rushed, and they just want your money.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The transportation is private, but the tour is not private. It would not be feasible for the attraction to take people on a private tour on the Luminous Lagoon due to the large crowd, the size of the Lagoon and time frame to finish the tour. People would be leaving there the next day and the Lagoon would be littered with boat not leaving any space for guest to swim and enjoy the beauty of the Lagoon. Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Arrive at covered bat. Passes are assigned by group. We had private tour (better experience). Enjoyed fire show at covered bar. All receive complimentary drinks - food optional for purchase. Board boat and enter lagoon. Algae glow in water under and around boat waves. Night swimming in lagoon optional; unique experience. A bucket of water provided to agitate algae on boat. Great to experience and explore.

What an extraordinary and memorable experience (and only available in 4 places on earth!). This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Jamaica. While I highly recommend swimming in the water so you have the full experience, it is optional. The activity includes a small welcome drink, a 'fire show', the boat/swim experience, and all transportation. It couldn't have been any easier. A couple of suggestions for those planning this excursion: (1) bring a change of clothes for the drive home so you're more comfortable and (2) bring a camera that performs well in low-light (many cameras aren't sensitive enough to capture the glow from the organisms). For those who are worried about their swimming skills, the boat provides life jackets and the water itself is generally only 4-5 feet deep.

Hey Mark. Thank you for the review.

Due to the full moon, the experience was a complete disappointment. I recommend only doing this tour when there is a new moon and it is very dark. Also, too many people around the boat kicking up mud from the bottom obscured the lights.

This was an excellent night, the water is warm and even if you are not a good swimming- get in the water. Good to bring water shoes as the bottom is very sandy.
