See it for yourself - It was absolutely amazing the pictures of the bioluminescence phenomenon doesn’t do it justice this is a must see in person to appreciate it! And then to look up at the stars in the sky that night was the icing on the cake for me! The food and drinks at the bar was delicious as well as the fire show afterwards. The staff on the boat were amazing Captain Vincent, Spider-Man, and Chip were very knowledgeable and helpful to us. Make sure you leave them a big tip. I am definitely going to do this excursion again when I come back to beautiful Jamaica!!!

Amazing experience! - We went with our baby girl(almost 12 months). It was a nice experience. Kevin was our driver he was very knowledgable and shared a lot of information about the different parishes. While we waited for the next boat to come, they had a fire show. It was great. I forgot the name of our captain but he was amazing. He taught us a lot about the richness of Jamaican culture and its people. One love. ❤️🇯🇲 We took the ride with Falmouth Mystic Lagoon Tours.

Was beautiful and fun!... - Was beautiful and fun! The driver was wonderful he arrived on time handled all the tickets and got us back very polite and professional!

Charmed by Luminous Lagoon - What an incredible experience! Our driver Teric was delightful and knowledgeable. Captain Mike was great, he brought us to a secluded place and encouraged us to have a great swim. Overall a stellar experience.

Thank you - Carlos is hands down the best tour guide we have ever hired. We travel 2-3 times/yr and we have never experienced someone more welcoming and friendly. This was our second time using JMT for airport transfer, they are always early and we have not had any issues. This time we booked a guided tour to Negril, our driver was Richie and this wonderful person was everything we could have asked for. He was friendly, knowledgeable and above all else made us feel safe and secure. Carlos is not only the best in the business but I consider him a friend as well. Thank you to Carlos, Richie and the rest of his staff, we appreciate you!!!

A lit Experience - At the beginning it was a little creepy. Our driver pulled into an area that of course is dark and we saw a bunch of locals at a hut. Being not from Jamaica we felt a little uneasy but when our driver talked to the lady at the bar and came back he told us what the plan was. We then went to the pier and boarded a boat that was going to take us out onto the bay. The crew was very nice and explained everything to us about the history of the bay and why it "lights up". The bay is very dark with very little lights except what is on the boat. To get the full experience once we arrived to our part of the bay he turned off the lights and said this is the part we can jump in. The bay really does light up as you swim in the water. The bottom of the bay feels really weird b/c you kind of sink into it a little bit. It doesn't feel like the normal bottom of the water that you would expect. So for myself I had to do a lot of high knees in the water to keep from sinking in the mud. They said I wouldn't sink but it wasn't the most comfortable feeling. To get the best view of the water lighting up is when your in the boat and moving. The engines really "disturb" the algae which makes it really bright. They do take your picture and you can purchase for a fee but if your phone is water resistant that will capture the light up as well. Overall it is an awesome time and would highly recommend. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is b/c I felt the Luminous Lagoons in Puerto Rico light up brighter.

Private Transportation Provided but there is NO glass bottom boat tour - Our driver, Terry AKA "The Babysitter," was prompt and friendly. He took good care of us. I also appreciated that we received our tickets via email in a timely manner. However, it was a little confusing as the tour is described online as "Glistening Waters night tour, but the signage at our destination say "Falmouth Mystic Lagoon Tour" so I wasn't sure that we were in the right place, and when I asked the ticket person, she told me I was in the wrong place and that I needed to talk to my driver. It was important to be at the right location because we paid a premium for the "glass bottom boat tour." When I was comparing tours this one stood out because it included description on "Tripadvisor" of a glass bottom tour, and I have the screenshots to prove it. Another tour was nearly half the price. My complaint and concern is that the description from Tripadvisor is inaccurate. This tour does NOT include a glass bottom boat and does not start at the Glistening Waters Restaurant (maybe there was a name change?). Instead, this trip INCLUDES PRIVATE TRANSPORTATION which is a great perk, but it added to the the cost of the tour. Be aware that you're not paying extra for a glass bottom boat, but for private transportation. If private transportation is important to you, then Terry will take good care of you. If cost is a bigger concern, there are other more affordable options.

It's ok, not the bright blue green as in enhanced photos - We saw some whitish glow with movement of the boat's wake, and when people swim, particularly breast stroke. It is about 45 minutes, 12=15 minutes there on a wooden speed boat, 20 mins for people to go into the wather which is warm, but you can't really see much. When people move the glow gets brighter. Sit near the captain for best views more light than the one in Puerto Rico but nothing amazing.

Rude tour guides - This might have been an enjoyable experience if the tour guides were not so rude. They kept banging on the boat and asking if we spoke English and hollering at us about where to swim in the water and where to come for pictures. Their attitudes really ruined our excursion. Most of our group got back on the boat before it was time because of how offensive the guys were. The water didn’t glow as brightly as we expected, but I know that has more to do with the elements than anything else. I hope that in the future, management pays close attention to their tour guides and provide better training on customer service. Everything else about my trip was great except for this tour. I was highly disappointed. Please do better.

Please Read to Avoid this Experience - My wife and I recently embarked on what turned out to be the worst experience we had in Jamaica, and it's essential to share our ordeal to save others from a similar situation. **Arrival and Sketchy Marina:** Our journey began on a promising note, with a friendly and knowledgeable driver who shared exciting insights about Jamaica during our ride. However, things took a turn when we arrived at a public pier. Amongst various boats, a makeshift marina welcomed us with a questionable "bar" serving a drink that was purportedly rum punch but tasted more like rum with some food coloring. It was so unpalatable that most of our group disposed of it. As tourists gathered on this pier, a voice announced the "glistening waters girls," and a solitary performer appeared on a makeshift stage. Her awkward and uneasy dance, devoid of smiles or joy, left many guests perplexed and uncomfortable. It felt as though she was dancing against her will. The discomfort escalated as two more girls joined in with similar routines. In the background, I spotted our bus driver casually playing dice with other drivers, adding to the bizarre atmosphere. **Boat Experience:** The confusion continued as a man referred to himself as "captain" instructed guests based on numbers to board one of the two boats. The lack of clarity regarding these numbers added to the confusion, and our driver eventually informed us that we were in group #2. However, our discomfort didn't end there. Once on the boat, we were packed in tightly, with the captain in civilian attire instructing couples and families to separate for weight distribution, further adding to our unease. The boat set off into the bay, and the captain was adamant about keeping all flashes and phones off so we could witness the "glowing" water in its full glory. After a while, we noticed a faint glow when the water was disturbed, hinting at the phenomenon we had come to see. **Photography and Safety Concerns:** As we lined up to jump into the water, the captain posed each person for photographs, which they would later overcharge us for. The photographer used a high-powered flash, which was wonderfully ironic based on the captain's instructions 2 minutes ago. The Sandals website advertised 45 minutes of swimming time in the glowing water. Unfortunately, our actual time in the water was approximately 4 minutes. I was stung by a jellyfish within 40 seconds of entering the water, causing excruciating pain and panic. Other guests experienced similar stings, and everyone rushed out of the water, ending the experience prematurely. The captain's assurance that the water was safe before our swim proved false, and our ordeal left us disappointed and in pain. **Tip Pressure and Strange Behavior:** To add insult to injury, the captain was fixated on collecting tips. He watched his tip jar like a hawk and called out anyone who didn't contribute. After such a dreadful swimming experience, his insistence on tips felt audacious, especially considering the $180 fee we had already paid for the excursion. To make matters worse, when we docked, the captain instructed us to cheer for him for getting us back "in one piece." However, one passenger, likely feeling unwell from the boat ride or the jellyfish sting, left the boat quickly. This led to a heated argument between the passenger and the captain, creating a tense atmosphere. **Research Reveals the Truth:** Upon returning to our room, we researched the excursion and discovered numerous complaints about jellyfish stings, contradicting the captain's claim that such incidents were unprecedented in his 19 years of experience. Whether it's the season, water temperature, or some other factor, allowing paying customers to jump into dark waters with the risk of jellyfish stings after promising a safe experience is incredibly irresponsible. **Final Verdict:** In conclusion, I highly recommend avoiding this company for the glowing water experience. While witnessing the glow is unique, the sketchy vibes, discomfort, and painful jellyfish stings make it not worth the risk. Whether you find another provider or skip it altogether, your safety and enjoyment should be the priority. 1 out of 5 stars.
