Not worth the money

Heather_K, Apr 2026
Not worth the money, very little illumination to be seen but a nice boat ride and good music, worth roughly about a quarter of what we paid.

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations. The bioluminescence can vary depending on natural conditions such as moonlight, weather, tides, and water movement, which can affect visibility on any given night. We’re glad you still enjoyed the boat ride and music. We always aim to provide a memorable experience and appreciate your honest comments, as they help us improve for future guests.

Taking advantage of tourism

Ashley_M, Mar 2023
If you are traveling, please note this company non refundable policy is mainly for tourist who don’t know how to identify local separations such as Tobago & Port of Spain being two different islands. Of course travelers wouldn’t know this booking an excursion for a good vacation experience. Not only did the company not refund our party of 4, they completely avoided the information with the address of pickup showing a different island. And have not provided a good customer service experience since getting to that island would be another 4 hour travel and plane ticket roundtrip.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

We are small company based in Buccoo Tobago and unfortunately we were waiting on you and you never showed up then you call us and tell you in a different Island I don't know how to explain this but it's unfortunately that we had to prepare all of this boat and everything for all day and wait for you and you never came so. So we are in TOBAGO! We are not in Spain
