![]() The overall experience is great, but I think it's a bit overpriced ( $50 US adults, $35 kids).Email: Travel form must include Name of hotel or vessel & pick up time Entrance Fees not included in rate provided:- The prices quoted on our site are for 1-10 persons. We did swim with kids and had a lot of fun! We were lucky to get there when there was no moon, it was extremely dark and the luminous effect was excellent! People with younger kids stayed on a boat. The captain was with a good sense of humor. We were taken to the place where water was actually glowing (it took about 10 min on a boat in a complete darkness) and you could see that even by the traces on the water after the boat makes waves. All of the groups of people were divided between 4 boats (each group had its ticket color). The tour itself started at 6.40pm when it was pretty dark. We were greeted with a welcome cocktail upon arrival. The transfer to the lagoon took us about 45min. The minibus picked us up from the hotel at about 5.30pm. We have been traveling with young children to this lagoon ( 7 and 9 y.o). When we got back off the boat we were told there was a fire show which had just finished, we had expected to see this, I asked why it wasn't on earlier when we were waiting and was told he only performs once per night!Īll in all I did enjoy my time in the water but there was a distinct lack of anything to do whilst waiting for our boat. We didn't buy any because the queue just to look at them was huge. Someone takes photos of you which I think were $30 and they are sent to you. The luminous blue colour was quite spectacular. For me it was one of those once in a lifetime experiences. The water was warm and the glow around us when we were treading water was amazing. When we got on the boat we were taken out into the middle of the lake and had around 30 minute swim time. There are a few market stalls selling all the usual souvenirs, we did get some decent deals but did spend a fair bit. ![]() Waited around an hour for our boat in which time there was no fire show or anything as advertised. We were on the 2nd lot of boats going out, it was very busy. When done swimming, you get back on the boat and they swing it in a large crescent for a sweeping trail of blue light, which would be your best picture opportunity as the light is otherwise pretty dim. Apparently there are small jellyfish which can sting you-my wife and I did not get stung but a couple of other tourists did, although they said it just felt like a momentary pinprick. The lake is not deep but at 5'8" I did not feel like I could just stand up, so I would recommend wearing a provided life vest if you're worried about your swimming. You get a free small rum punch or fruit punch and then hop on a boat for a few minutes into the middle of the lake, where you can swim around and marvel at the electric blue dinoflagellates which make you feel like you're in the movie Avatar. Admission to the Lagoon is $25pp which is pricey but this is a unique experience that I think is worth paying for. I ended up doing a combined Rosehall Great House / Luminous Lagoon private driver tour w/ Jamaica Get Away Travels for $50pp x 3 ppl w/ pickup at our hotel in Montego Bay. ![]() ![]() I guess they offer $25 pickup but you have to have a minimum number of people. Transportation here is the most confusing/expensive part of the experience.
