About this experience
Once you’re picked up from your hotel for the Luminous Lagoon After Dark Tour, you’ll be greeted with a private, comfortable ride—no other parties will be joining you. During the 20-35 min drive, your guide will share interesting facts and point out notable sites along the way, making the journey enjoyable. When you arrive, you’ll have a brief wait as we allow nightfall to fully set in, as the lagoon’s unique glow is best experienced in the dark. Then, your captain will set sail, and you’ll be able to enjoy the magical experience of the glowing waters.

Detailed itinerary
1
Upon pickup from your hotel, an expert tour guide will first take the group straight to the Luminous Lagoon. While commuting to the lagoon, your guide will describe the sights along the way. Upon arrival to the lagoon, you'll be served a welcome drink before boarding the boat for a 45-minute tour on the water where you can swim and take pictures if you wish. Once you get back to shore, you'll be able to grab a bite at a local restaurant (additional cost) before getting back in the van to return to your hotel. Just 30 minutes east of Montego Bay, there is a little bay near Falmouth that is unbelievably eye-catching and a must-see with this after dark tour. As you swim into the lagoon, you will be amazed to see how the water literally lights up. This unusual occurrence in a body of water only occurs in four places in the world. This location in Jamaica is the brightest and most illuminating of all the other locations worldwide. Scientists and marine biologists from John Hopkins University have come to study it and now visitors from all over the world travel to Falmouth to see this natural phenomenon.
