Safe, comfortable, and reliable - We first met Mr. Winston back in 2023 when he transported our family of 4 to the Luminous Lagoon. He was friendly, prompt, and his vehicle was spacious and clean. So we knew he was just the person to call when we needed a comfortable and safe ride from Negril to Ocho Rios. We reached in record time while he adhered to traffic laws and making sure we were taken care of. He's definitely someone we're reaching out to on our next visit.

Ask for Winston! - Winston was the best! He gave us some history about the lagoon and Jamaica. We were a group of 14 with teens and he made sure we got right on a boat and didn’t have to wait. He also took us to Scotchies for the best Jerk on the island. Highly recommended and ask for Winston!

Amazing experience! - It was such an amazing experience! We were fortunate to go during new moon phase and it was so bright! We didn’t get to swim in it due to the environmental agency was doing testing but it was still a memorable time. Our driver Winston was very nice and friendly! Highly recommended tour!

Highly Recommend!!! - Our driver, Winston, was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable, friendly and led us through the experience, making sure we got on the first boat. The Lagoon itself is STUNNING! The pictures don’t do justice to how much the water actually glows! A once in a lifetime experience for sure! Ask for Winston as your driver! You won’t regret it.

Enjoyable evening - Very fun trip and our driver to get out there was very nice and communicative. Be prepared for a bit of a drive, an hour plus, if you’re leaving from Ocho Rios. The restaurant you wait out before you go out also has some good food and drinks. Kinda hard to see the glowing with the naked eye but the operators of the tour have a special camera that gets some good picture.

Amazing experience in Jamaica! - This was an amazing experience. This bio-phenomena only occurs in four other places in the world. Apparently, at this location in Jamaica, the luminescence is the brightest. Our guide, Winston, was amazing! I would highly recommend him for this trip or any other tours that he offers. He was very professional, polite, and prompt!

Disappointing - The entertainment was okay, the boat ride was fairly pleasant, but what was advertised and what actually happened was night and day. We didn't see anything glowing other than the flash from the "paparazzi" they had. If the tour operator knew the weather would affect the luminous lagoon, they should have said something to the people beforehand. It seems like they waited til near the ride was over and ended to say it was because of the excess rain. I would have been happy to reschedule. So all the money I spent was just for a boat ride.
