Great driver - Romario was a great driver and was very safe. The people doing the tours of the lagoon were also very friendly. Would do again!

Recommend!! - The water wasn't as blue as I hoped but I guess it's because it's rainy season, but still very exciting! Absolutely recommend just be sure you check the weather. The more sun, the brighter it glows. My driver Romario was also GREAT. Absolutely recommend him and I can't say that enough 👌🏽. You get more than what you pay for!

Great Time Had by All - Romario was amazing. The ride to and from was very comfortable. The rum punch we had that the little bar was good. The crew were friendly, even another boat came over to us and we had a party. The only thing is the lagoon lighting effect wasn't that great. Unfortunately, there were some entitled people on the boat, probably from America, that made things weird by their conversations and unnecessary shenanigans.

Lagoon experience Jamaica - The driver Romario was great, Dennis at the boat stop was lovely and the rum punch was delicious. However the actual lagoon experience was disappointing. The water didn't light up a fluorescent blue, I was lucky if I saw the odd tinged blue water, whether the rain had anything to do with this I don't know but from what I saw it's not something I'd recommend.

Be prepared to wait A LONG TIME - Don’t get me wrong, the glowing water is super cool!!! But man, everything leading up to it was very frustrating. Our resort is very reputable and did a phenomenal job setting excursions up for us and arranging transportation. I don’t know if it was a lack of communication between the excursion and the resort or what but it was a ton of sitting and waiting at the docks. We had not experienced this at any of our other excursions. Our tour was supposed to be from 6-8. When we were dropped off we (and other groups) sat there for an hour and a half in the muggy, buggy area just waiting. There wasn’t any signs or directions. We were very confused. We assumed they were waiting for it to get dark, and that can time can vary, but there has to be a better and more efficient way to determine and communicate that so people aren’t waiting around for so long. There needs to be clearer expectations or more options. There was nothing to do until about 10 minutes before when they brought out local dancers on the stage. Suddenly they announced that they will be calling us to boats by number but they didn’t give half of the people numbers. It was a disorganized mess. Finally we get on the boat and get out there but even getting everyone in the water took forever especially because they took each persons picture before letting the next person go in. TIP: get on the boat last that way your sitting on the back and one of the first ones in the water. By the time we got in the water it was kind of hard to see the glow because half of the people didn’t listen to the captain and stood up or kicked toward the bottom. This mucked up the water which makes it hard to see any glowing. When you try to swim to untouched spots you risk getting in trouble with the captain. Which is understandable because it’s dark and he’s trying to keep and eye on everyone and everyone close to the boat. Kudos to captain Dave for his leadership. He was great with the kids, giving them vip treatment! He was direct and kept everyone safe. It was a really cool experience but it was not efficient at all. Wish there was an option for a more private experience on a smaller boat with less people or something.

Was OK but not as expected - Went here last week. We booked with tui before the holiday so had a bus arranged . When you arrive at 6pm you jave to wait approx a 1 hour to get on a boat so your in or outside a restaurant which encourages you to eat or drink . I would have rather been picked up later and got straight on the boat. When we got into the lagoon it was literally 5 mind away from the Dock we were told we would have 45 mins on the water. It was probably about 20 mins max . You cannot capture the lights on your phone I tried and the best I got was a blur but of course you can pay and have a photo done. When we got back to the Dock again your hanging about in the restaurant again and there is some fire show on. Its nothing special and I wod have rather left straight away. All in all I wouldn't recommend this trip there are better ones available.
