Luminous lagoon jamaica youtube9/11/2023 ![]() 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. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.The Luminous Lagoon is a special little bay because at night, it’s home to a natural phenomenon known as “ bioluminescence.” The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period. You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them. On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you. Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. ![]() If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. ![]() You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Not his fault, just hard to pose while treading water and still get the blue from the lagoon. There is a professional photographer on the boats who will take pictures of you in the water but many of them do not turn out well. My husband and I both swam in the water the entire time about 20-30 minutes. The actual lagoon was almost otherworldly. If you are in Montego Bay it would be great! I would not suggest taking this tour if you have a limited amount of days and are in Ocho Rios. The trip to the lagoon took nearly two hours, while the return was just over an hour. It made a long drive even longer, as we had to stop many times to pick up other people from different hotels, many of which were late getting to the lobby some 10 minutes. Because of this, we were the first guests to be picked up by the shuttle and the last to be dropped off. Our resort was in Ocho Rios, but unfortunately the luminous lagoon is about 15 minutes away from Montego bay.
