Overview

This lagoon, surrounded by mangroves, is home to microscopic organisms that emit phosphorescent light when the water is agitated. Plan your trip for dusk and then take a boat ride onto the lagoon. As the water is disturbed, you'll see an eerie light illuminating the waters below. Wave your hands or drag a stick in the water to make the water glow in the dark. Those who wish can swim in the luminous waters as well. (The lagoon is about 4-5 feet deep at the center.) Boats leave from the Glistening Waters Marina, where there is also a restaurant and nightclub. Visitors can enjoy dinner at the Glistening Waters restaurant while watching the bioluminescent show on the water.

Amazing experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

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.

Luminous lagoon with Winston

Published on Jul, 2024

Amazing experience with Winston very joyful and interesting conversations with him would definitely recommend booking with him!!

Enjoyable evening

Published on Jun, 2024

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!

Published on Apr, 2024

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!
