The luminous lagoon is amazing and I would highly recommend. Our guide Nicholas with Jamaica Best Tours went above and beyond to make it an amazing experience. He got us to the front of the line so we were first on the boat and he got us a spot up front for the fire show after. He consistently checked in on us to see if we needed anything and gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip. We highly recommend this excursion, or any excursion with Nichola!

This is an underrated, but pretty spectacular experience if you’ve never swam in a bioluminescent ocean before. Our host was fun and knowledgeable and safety was their first concern for all. The only negative experience about this was the “paparazzi“ photos. While I understand it is difficult to photograph at night in a luminous bay, the pictures they took were just terrible. Every photo of us was either with our eyes closed or looking away or some other Poor photographic skill that could’ve been corrected especially considering they wanted an additional $25 to transfer the electronic photos to your phone. It literally cost them nothing since it’s on a digital camera. I would suggest they invest in a telephoto lens instead of asking patrons to swim uncomfortably close to an idling motor so the photographer can get a closer picture.
Aside from poor pictures, this was a great experience swimming amongst the bioluminescence. It was like watching blue smoke just appear off my fingertips. I highly suggest moving further away from the crowd to see the most reactive light. The water was calm and motionless so even the most seasickness prone can enjoy this.

We used Best Jamaica for both private trips to and from our airbnb and to the Luminous Lagoon and the Martha Brae Raft. Their prices were more reasonable than their competitors. Our driver Vernon aka Cupcake was awesome! They were easy to communicate with (via whatsapp). We felt safe as he drove very carefully. He was more than a driver, he was like our guide.
