Visit the glistening waters for an evening boat tour of Oyster Bay, named after the small oysters that cling to the mangrove.
The bay contains billions of microorganisms called dinoflagellates which when stimulated emits visible lights just like fireflies. When stirred by a boat or moving object the sight is spectacular, on a moonless night, it is described as underwater firework. Cost US$55 per person and includes transportation, boat ride and taxes
The lagoon glows because of millions of tiny microorganisms called dinoflagellates. When disturbed by movement — like a hand swish, fish swimming, or a boat gliding — the water lights up with an otherworldly neon-blue glow. Jamaica’s Luminous Lagoon is said to be the brightest in the world due to its warm climate and shallow waters.
Guests board a small boat in the evening (after sunset).
As the boat cruises, guides explain the science and history of the lagoon.
You’ll see glowing trails left by fish darting around.
Optional Swim: Some tours let you jump in and swim — your body will glow as the water ripples around you.
