Awesome experience! - The weather was a little rough but James has excellent boating skills and offered a refund if we did not want to proceed. He was very friendly and knowledgable. Such an awesome experience and James helped us fulfill one of our bucket list activities! Thank you James and Island Charter!

Girls night in the bioluminescent bay! - Such a great trip to see the bay! The private tour was the perfect way for our girls trip to experience the bioluminescent waters. Cody was a great guide as well!

A Fun Outing in Grand Cayman - Very fun and relaxing tour with Mark, who was a great Captain and guide. The bioluminescence was good (the partial Moon was surprisingly bright) and we had the shallow lagoon where we stopped virtually to ourselves. Recommended.

Relaxing night time excursion for two, first time to see bioluminescence, and wonderful to contemplate for ourselves. - This was a relaxing trip, after sunset. Dark had set in, and we met Mark at Camana Bay after a short walk from our resort. Mark was friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. We took a 20 minute boat ride under a 3/4 moon sky to the bioluminescent bay. Mark had shared when we met that a recent king tide had washed a great deal of the plankton out and that the bay was currently at 25% luminescence. I appreciated that honesty upfront, and felt like he wanted us to return happy if we went. We were already aware of this, and opted still to mark the trip. Once we reached our destination, the float in the bay was warm, relaxing, star filled above, and bioluminescent below the waters surface. Incredible to contemplate, think and appreciate the nature around us. The bay is surrounded by gorgeous homes near Rum Point, so there was a bit to marvel there as well;) All in all, the trip was a splurge for us. But it was nice to take a ride in the quiet with soft island beats thumping on the stereo. We appreciated Mark a great deal and the care he took of us. My guess is that the day trips would be equally as exciting and enjoyable. The hospitality is really what takes it over the top. Last thing. This is an adventure trip. No frills, bottle service, etc. Just kindness and a readiness to share this beautiful place. Would recommend to couples, but families as well. Five stars.

Bioluminescence Bay - The boat and the boat ride were fabulous. Very clean and a smooth ride. It’s an amazing ride at night. Cody and Mark did a great job. Be prepared, if the bay is in the phase where it's not as luminescent, it is still worth seeing. It's like a glittering wonderland underwater, but you do have to get in the water to see it.

They could have done better at communicating the value of our outing - The guide was good, but they failed to tell us when booking that the bioluminescence had been blown out of the bay the month before and was just coming back, we didn't actually see that much. Certainly not worth the money we spent to see what we got. I'd Definity ask before booking what amount of Bioluminescence is in the bay and if there had been any storms or high winds that could have affected the levels.
