About this experience
The Luminous Lagoon in Jamaica glows due to microscopic organisms called dinoflagellates, which are a type of plankton that produce natural light through bioluminescence when disturbed, creating a magical blue-green glow. This is one of five places in the world with this type of lagoon but this one in Jamaica is the only one that is accessible to humans and the one that shines the brightest. This is one of Jamaica’s top selling tour and an experience you won’t have anywhere else.
