If you catch it when conditions are right, it will surely blow you away. And while this isn’t quite as exciting as the northern lights, it’s still a very cool experience that’s certainly bucket-list worthy. I’ve been able to experience some amazing natural wonders like the northern lights.
The light was too faint for me to capture on my camera, but it was an amazing sight and only visible once the boat stopped moving at a high speed. You’ll be able to see individual sparkles of light flashing like tiny stars in the ocean. The captain will probably take you to a rig that sank in the middle of the lagoon and once the boat comes to a stop, take a peak at the water near the boat. One of the most interesting things to see is when the boat comes to a stop. You might even catch a fish or two darting through the glowing waters. Have fun splashing around in the bioluminescence and watching it sparkle on your bathing suit as you exit the water. Since photographs and video can be difficult to capture, this is a destination where it really just pays to enjoy the experience. Sitting there will allow you the best view of the water lighting up when the boat starts moving and will allow you to be the first person in the water, which will be handy for getting photographs from the photographer, who goes by the name of “paparazzi.” This is right where the ladder is that you’ll use to enter the lagoon. I recommend sitting in the rear of the boat on the port side (left of the vessel if you’re looking towards the front). When we did our tour, Glistening Waters had two to three boats operating at a time, so there wasn’t a long wait time to get in.īe prepared for the boat to be jam-packed with tourists (I’ve heard the tours taking place later on in the night aren’t as bad). The tours begin just after sunset and each tour lasts around 30 to 45 minutes. They typically only take cash (USD accepted), so make sure you carry some cash. You can pre-book a tour online or through your hotel which will usually include transportation and often times a meal or you can just drive yourself to the lagoon (like we did) and then purchase your ticket there.
They offer tours for $25 per adult ($12.50 per child) and tours run from around sunset to 9pm. We went with Glistening Waters, which I believe might be the most popular tour company for the lagoon. It’s very easy to join a tour for the luminous lagoon. The Luminous Lagoon is said to have some of the brightest displays of bioluminescence found around the globe, and thus it’s a popular spot. The lagoon is home to microscopic organisms called dinoflagellates, which are able to emit blue flashes of light when activated by some sort of motion, such as waves crashing or objects splashing in the water. The result is a mesmerizing display of glowing blue light when one takes a boat ride or swim in the bay. Guests who want to visit this unique attraction simply can make their requests to any of our front desk agents who will be happy to coordinate transportation and booking details.The Luminous Lagoon is a special little bay because at night, it’s home to a natural phenomenon known as “ bioluminescence.” High quality, high resolution DSLR cameras work best for pictures. For more information on Glistening Waters click here. Guests have the choice of dining at the Glistening Waters restaurant before or after departure and can choose from delectable menu options. Glistening Waters team has a fleet of boats and can house up to 30 persons at a time. As the boat navigates through the lagoon and the water is disturbed these microorganisms light up! Guests who wish to swim in amidst the lights can experience the glow all around them as they splash and swim. The Blue Lagoon is surrounded by mangroves that foster the the growth of organisms that produce phosphorescent eerie light when disturbed. Dinner overlooking a marina followed by a boat ride with a beautiful illuminated lagoon. Our guests have the amazing opportunity to experience a natural phenom during this 45 minute tour. Luminous Lagoon, also known as Glistening Waters is known as Jamaica’s most popular night time attraction and hosts hundreds of visitors each night. The Luminous Lagoon, located in Trelawny, a mere 30 minutes away from Ocho Rios is said to be the largest and most brilliant of four in the world, a fact that continues to attract and awes visitors and scientists from around the world.
