About this activity

Your tour guide will meet you in the lobby of your Montego Bay or Grand Palladium hotel in the late afternoon. From there you will be taken on a trip to the magnificent and very rare gem that is the Luminous Lagoon.

The Luminous Lagoon is a very rare, so rare that this natural glistening water is only found in only four countries in the world - Indonesia, Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Jamaica. The Luminous Lagoon holds the record of been the brightest of the four. In 1964, John Hopkins visited Jamaica and did some studies in the lagoon which he discovered that the water contains phosphorus, small microorganisms that get their energy from the sunlight and then when the water is disturbed, by something like a paddle or a hand, they illuminate. The Martha Brae River also flows into the lagoon which assist in maintaining the perfect water temperature and other conditions.

As soon as it gets dark your boat's captain will be ready to take you out in a glass-bottom boat to see this natural wonder. Make sure to take you swimsuits because there is a brief stop for you to take a swim.

After the boat ride you will travel back to your Montego Bay or Grand Palladium hotel.

The tour was acceptable. Boat was too full. It was too hard to get settled and then to get into the lagoon took a lot of effort for all people involved to get swimming. The boat driver and crew were great. The explained everything so we knew why the lagoon shined. I would go again if I knew there would not be so many people on the boat.

It was great! I would have given it five stars if we didn't have to wait for an hour before the tour actually starts.
