Awesome! - Everything about this trip was superb! It was windy and the trip over was chilly but the crew made the best of it and got us to our destination quickly. We had plenty of time at both stops. The crew was ever attentive to our needs, checking on us throughout the evening for comfort and questions we might have had. The starfish were plentiful as promised. The bioluminescence bay was so much fun! Luckily the moon took cloud cover so we had some time which was very dark which made seeing the luminescence and being able to take photos easier. We swam under the boat as well. The voyage back to the marina was smooth. If you needed a blanket, the crew provided one. Drinks were available. Would highly recommend such a fun and relaxing adventure!

Great experience! - Pepe and Aaron did a fabulous job—well-prepared in both equipment and communication. Lycra suits were provided at the bio bay. The boat was easy to find and seemed well maintained. Would definitely book with them again!

Golden sunset and glowing sea with starfish, falling stars and constellations - Captain Pepe’ and Aaron showed us a great time- meticulous and experienced. Enjoyed seeing a few starfish and beautiful sunset first. Then off to the bay for glowing fun. They know just how to take great pix for you. Best to go on a day that is very sunny and if possible less moon for brightest experience. The ride back amongst the stars was beautiful. Even saw a few falling stars.

The closest I will ever get to being a mermaid. - We were in Grand Cayman during the off-season and the captain and crew made a concentrated effort to go out of their way to run the tour on a night when they otherwise could have cancelled. We had a small group (only four of us that night, two parties of two people). We not only had the best time, but also the best experience as a tiny group when any other company would have easily cancelled. This was easily one of the best experiences of my life and the closest I will ever get to being a mermaid.

Unsure but turned out Cool - I wasn’t real sure about this one when I booked it - some people said it was a good thing to do, others not so much. It’s also a little more costly than the snorkeling/stingray/starfish trip we did & only had water (the other trip we did had pop as well). The boat was fine, a larger pontoon boat with plenty of space on it (only 15 people on the boat). We started by going to Starfish Point (fun to do, but it was getting dark so not as neat as when it’s sunny). The crew did provide us with full Lycra wetsuits & snorkel gear. We headed into the Bioluminescent Bay and this is when the trip really became cool! We had a very good night to see the water “light up”. The pontoon boat became great because we could swim under the boat where it was even darker and could see the glow even better. We had lots of time in the water to splash around and make the water glow. I’m glad we did it for the experience.

No show tour operator :( - No phone call, no call to cancel, purchased warm sweatshirts for our family to stay warm, fare for taxi and my credit card charged. We called when at location and no answer from tour operator. Ruined our day. If I could give a minus rating I would.
