As you leave your hotel your driver will greet you with a smile and a warm welcome , This lagoon, is surrounded by mangroves, is home to microscopic organisms that emit phosphorescent light when the water is agitated. Plan your trip for dusk and then take a boat ride onto the lagoon. As the water is disturbed, you'll see an eerie light illuminating the waters below. Wave your hands or drag a stick in the water to make the water glow in the dark. Those who wish can swim in the luminous waters as well. (The lagoon is about 4-5 feet deep at the center.) Boats leave from the Glistening Waters Marina, where there is also a restaurant and nightclub. Visitors can enjoy dinner at the Glistening Waters restaurant while watching the bioluminescent show on the water. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: no car needed - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - Starts 16:30: one departure a day - Food not included: bring or buy your own **Pickup:** Hotel pickup included ## Key facts - Price: from €77 per person - Duration: 3h–5h - Rating: 4.84/5 from 90 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Tour Jamaica Today - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: English - Start times: 16:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-06 ## Reviews 4.84 from 90 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 96% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 86 of 90. - 5 stars: 84 (93%) - 4 stars: 2 (2%) - 3 stars: 1 (1%) - 2 stars: 2 (2%) - 1 star: 1 (1%) ## What's included - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Entry fee - Bottled water - Driver/guide - Live commentary on board - Transport by air-conditioned minivan ## Not included - Drinks - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Historic Falmouth Cruise Port** (2h; admission included) - Your night tour will begin from the gate of the Hotel in which you vacates at 5:30pm or 6pm, on our journey down you will past by the well known attraction Green Grotto Cave in Discovery Bay, continuing you will past by the Bauxite Aluminium mining company (Naranda) which is... ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 16:30 - Schedule last checked: 2026-10-06 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Good to know - Public transportation options are available nearby - Suitable for all physical fitness levels - Minimum drinking age is 18 years - A minimum of 2 adult per booking is required - A maximum of 15 people per booking - Children 4 to 11 pay half price - Children 0 to 3 travel free - Please take along with you all water shoes and towels. ## Compared with other Ocho Rios Tours | Tour | Price | Duration | Rating | Group | |---|---|---|---|---| | **This tour · #29 of 49** | €77 | 3h–5h | 4.84 (90) | private | | [Blue Hole only-from Ocho Rios](/caribbean/jamaica/tours/blue-hole-only-from-ocho-rios/?format=md) | €36 | 3h | 4.97 (213) | private | | [Private Tour Ocho Rios or Runaway Bay To 9 Mile Bob Marley Birth & Resting Place](/caribbean/jamaica/tours/private-tour-ocho-rios-or-runaway-bay-to-9-mile-bob-marley-birth-resting-place/?format=md) | €123 | 4h | 4.92 (133) | private | | [Blue Hole and Bamboo Rafting Ocho Rios](/caribbean/jamaica/tours/blue-hole-and-bamboo-rafting-ocho-rios/?format=md) | €86 | 3h | 4.9 (208) | shared | Ranked #29 of 49 in Ocho Rios Tours by Guidekin score (rating weighted by review volume).
