See Jamaica’s Luminous Lagoon glow blue-green at night, swim among harmless organisms, sip rum punch, and enjoy hotel transfers.
“Wonderful experience with the tour company/guide and Luminous Lagoon. The pickup van showed up on time at our hotel. We reached ant the lagoon and watched the fire show. After 10-15 minutes, we got into the boat. It was a full moon night. Since the day was hot, the luminescence was wonderful. We could see full glow while the boat was moving and we were able to create beautiful glow around us when we went into the water as well. Overall very pleasant and once in a lifetime experience. Will recommend to everyone”
Sail to Dunn’s River Falls from Ocho Rios or Montego Bay for reef snorkeling, a waterfall climb, lunch, rum punch, and Jamaican music.
“Tour guide picked us up on time. Keep in mind the tour time is not the pick up time (pick up time is much earlier if you are starting from Montego Bay). Felicia (bus tour guide and coordinator) was great! Catamaran ride was great and a lot of fun coming back. Dunns river is a bit of a tourist trap, so be ready for that. Overall a good time…wouldn’t recommend doing solo though.”

Compare Kingston’s Friday harbor party and Sunday Maiden Cay cruise, with food, drinks, DJs, swimming, and practical booking tips.
“We had a great time on this trip. The moment we step on the cruise, really good music was playing (and the DJ continued to play great music throughout the trip). There was food provided, but I didn’t eat since I wanted to play in the water more. The customer service was excellent because they keep bringing us drinks into the sea. I’ve never had that in my life before! It was so nice to talk to the staff and owners too. Everyone was so warm and welcoming. Most importantly, Maiden cay and the sea was sooooo beautiful that it just made the trip perfect!”

“The best thing about our experience was the tour leader, Lisa! She was absolutely the best!! She really seemed to enjoy her job and was extremely professional yet down to earth. You could hear the love she has for her country in everything she talked about. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour but wished the snorkeling could have been longer. Our boat crew were patient and helpful in teaching my family how to snorkel. The lobster was also banging! We would definitely recommend this experience!”

“This was a fantastic experience and a must do whilst in Jamaica. The transportation process was smooth and our driver Cory was great. We boarded the catamaran quickly and they took us to a great spot for snorkelling - lots of coral and fish and the water was so blue. On the way to the snorkelling site we were provided with endless drinks and a nice buffet which had chicken and fruit etc. Once we finished the snorkelling we were taken to the famous Margaritaville, we enjoyed it here and they had great frozen margaritas. The highlight was definitely the way back, the DJ was FANTASTIC, there was lots of…”
