This lagoon, surrounded by mangroves, is home to microscopic organisms that emit a phosphorescent light when the water is agitated. Plan your trip for dusk and then take a boat ride on the lagoon. As the water is disturbed, you will see eerie lights illuminating the waters below. Those who wish to swim in the Luminous Waters are welcome.

It’s a short easy ride from Montego Bay and our driver was very nice and pleasant throughout. Although the tour in the lagoon itself is pretty short - maybe 30 minutes - it still is a great experience. Do not get the photos from the local operatives- I paid for them and they never emailed the photos to me.

Luminescent water was so awesome. Never seen before. Definitely a bucket list excursion. Your was very short and I think way overpriced for such a quick tour.

Fantastic trip. Amazed how the water glows when touched. Very interesting. Take water shoes though because it's not deep and the bottom is mud. Horrible feeling. Well worth the money

Our driving Barry was lovely, however, the cost & additional cost upon arrival didn’t make sense. I am requesting reimbursement.

The lagoon is amazing, but the tour company charged too much on transportation, it would be a reasonable deal if entrance fee is included.

I believe there are only a few night tours near MoBoy so this is something different to try. The water was cool and felt 'spongy' in the shallow areas. I had on my vibrams so I was all good. The guys on the boat said that summer was the best time to visit the lagoon, but with some vigorous motion in the water I was able to activate the organisms. Some folks stayed on the boat because they were scared about hopping in the dark water at night, but they said that they could really see the blue luminosity when I was in the water. I enjoyed this activity and I would definitely do it again.

One to do but wouldn't recommend going way out of your way to do this.
We travelled about 30 mins each way which was fine - got about 15 mins actually in the lagoon which was cool but would have been disappointed if we were in the group that had travelled nearly 2h each way on the same coach as us.
If you're nearby then give it a go - if it's a bit of a trek you won't have missed out too much if you don't bother.

Was a great experience. Only 4 places in the world like this. The water glows with any movement. Got to swim at night and watch the glow. I really enjoyed watching the fish glow as they swam.
