Great place for a party! - We did this on a private boat. It was awesome. If you’re staying near rum point you could always just walk there and get in as long as you wear water shoes and look out for the creatures on the bottom. Some say there are jellyfish in there but I don’t believe so. It’s really worth doing…

It was great and crew was... - It was great and crew was wonderful! Add bonus nice sunset view over sound. This tour provides suits because the sea grass could cause some stinging. My daughter has sensitive skin and felt a little burning sensation around neck but rest of group was fine. They had vinegar in board to neutralize. Very thoughtful!

Worth it! - Tremendous! Something you can’t do just anywhere! All you had to do was wiggle your fingers in order to create the glow!

Fabulous family centric excursion that connects with jaded teens. - Amazing evening! Our family experienced something new, unique and extraordinary - all at once. Best part: our 16 year old son was engaged and communicating with ole Mom and Dad. Worth every penny! Directions to the boat were excellent, parking was ample and the crew was energetic and so informative. Every part of the trip was as described. The bio luminous portion was truly remarkable. Traveling back we were under a canopy of stars we rarely see. Absolutely a fabulous family affair!!

It's really cool! - This was a lot of fun. I don't think there are many places in the world where the water lights up like this. The effect is really stunning. Pepe and Aaron were great guides, too. They made the trip fun for everyone.

Wonderful Opportunity - Bioluminescence is a phenomenon that only occurs a few places in the world. This is an experience that should not be missed! My family rated it as one of the most amazing things they have ever seen. Hard to describe until you experience it.

Awesome Light Show - What a cool tour. Stopped to see the sea stars first, and then to bioluminescence bay. We were lucky with the moon being full, but not risen so it was pretty dark. Even if the moon was up, because the boat is a catamaran we were able to swim under the boat in darkness where the light show is in full swing. Highly recommend

Fun but not worth price! - Fun experience to go out at night! Starfish point was exciting! The guys running the tour claimed to have photos of the bioluminence from “last night.” They were gorgeous. What we saw was very poor in comparison. Very overpriced!

Cool tour , but go with somebody else - The bay is cool to see, but these guides are not very interactive. We went with other tour companies who explain things , educate you , ask questions , help you. These guys just tell you when to get on and off the boat - if that’s all you are looking for , then you are all set. If not, choose another company to do this tour with.
