Overview

The Luminous Lagoon is a rare natural wonder—a place that's home to millions of harmless microscopic organisms that glow at night. Rather than having to organize car hire, this evening tour picks you up from your Ocho Rios hotel and takes you to a place where you can go on a boat trip to the Luminous Lagoon. As well as viewing the natural phenomenon from the boat, there's also an opportunity to get out and swim in the glowing water.

Visit a spectacular natural wonder—the Luminous Lagoon
Avoid the hassle of organizing taxi rides—round-trip transfers are included
Learn fun facts about how the water glows from an onboard guide
Stay hydrated—bottled water is provided

Once-in-a-lifetime

Great experience, this is a must do in Jamaica. Once in a life time experience. Our driver was informative on the drive.

Disappointing Event

Lisa_G, Jul 2024

The guide in charge and the photographer worked hard to make sure everyone was taken care of and had a good experience. The pics on line did not truly depict what the waters glow truly looked like so that was disappointing. What bothered me most was that someone on the boat was smoking pot.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Lisa_G Thanks for leaving your feedback, I am sorry to know that your expectations were not met regarding this event. Thanks for choosing us for your transportation service Regards Sana

Fun at the right time of the year

Mike_C, Jan 2024

We learned so much about the culture and waters of Jamaica on this tour! We’d recommend going when the water is warm and there is not a full moon to get the full effect of the glowing bay!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Mike _C Thanks for sharing your feedback of your experience using our service, it was indeed our greatest pleasure hosting you. We look forward to your next visit. Thanks for choosing us Regards Sana

Modest company

Nelson_P, Aug 2023

Unfortunately they had made a mistake a booked me for another day so I wasn’t able to enjoy this excursion, mistakes happen and they owned up to it and gave me a full refund so I appreciate it.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Nelson_P Thanks for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for this mistake on our side , this has never happened so we are really sorry you missed this experience. I tried reaching out to you but I really the error but couldn’t get through to you . Should you come back to Jamaica we will make it up to you. Thanks for understanding. Regards Sana

Great experience that could have been greater

CHRISTOPHER_H, Apr 2022

Was a great experience! The only reason (abs a major one) that I didn’t rate it a 5 was because there was no photographer on our boat. A major disappointment. Nothing memorialized as far as swimming in the lagoon.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Christopher _H Thanks for Sharing your feedback, it’s highly appreciated, What we offer is transportation service to the lagoon so as for not having a photographer on the boat you were on that’s something we have to clarify with the manager at the lagoon. Our apologies to you. Thanks for making it Marvyn’s Paradise Tours Regards Sana

Amazing

Andrea, Mar 2020

Amazing experience, never thought I would swim in a lagoon at night. It was an amazing experience and fun for the family.

Unser Driver von Marvin Tours hat uns eine halbe Stunde zu früh abgeholt und die Fahrt dorthin sollte ca 1 Std. Dauern, wir hatten etwas Stau und er ist nach dem Stau mit dem Auto gerast, bei erlaubten 80 ist er locker 100 gefahren und er hat mehrmals sehr knapp überholt. Die Auto Fahrt hat ja im dunkeln stattgefunden, meinte Tochter und ich haben uns sehr gefürchtet und ihn mehrfach gebeten nicht so zu rasen und andauernd zu überholen. Einmal war es sehr sehr knapp - Es sind Menschen und Hunde auf der Straße und er konnte nicht einschätzen wie nah uns der Gegenverkehr kam. Er hat uns daraufhin angeschrien, dass das ganz normal in Jamaika ist. Er (77 Jahre alt) habe seit 50 Jahren seinen Führerschein und wüsste was er tut. Anstatt sich zu entschuldigen. Als wir endlich dort waren nach 2 Std Höllenritt, fing die Bootsfahrt an. Die Jungs dort sind sehr hilfsbereit aber das "Leuchten" hat man nicht gesehen. Nach ca 30 Minuten dann retour mit dem gleichen Fahrer!!! Ich habe ihm gesagt dass wir nur mitfahren wenn er nicht mehr überholt. Daraufhin hat er uns in sehr lautem Sprachorgan 1 Std über sein Land gepredigt und unter anderem ist er teilweise OHNE LICHT nach Hause gefahren nur weil wir gefragt haben warum er das Fernlicht anhat? Wir können die Tour ab Oracabessa nicht empfehlen. Preis 2 Personen zu 200€ für Nichts.
