Luminous Lagoon – A Magical Nighttime Adventure

The Luminous Lagoon is considered the largest and most brilliant of only four such lagoons in the world, drawing awe and fascination from visitors and scientists alike. Embark on a night cruise to explore Jamaica's Luminous Lagoon from your Montego Bay or Rosehall resort. The lagoon is home to tiny, harmless microorganisms that sparkle and glow when disturbed. After being picked up from your resort, you’ll journey to the Luminous Lagoon, located in Trelawny Parish. Once there, take a short walk to the launching point, board a small boat, and cruise out into the lagoon with your expert guide. Discover why the lagoon glows as you make your way to its center, where the water is less than 5 feet (1.5 meters) deep. Enjoy a complimentary beverage while watching the mesmerizing glow beneath the water as it’s disturbed. For the adventurous, you can swim in the glowing waters—one of only a few places in the world where you can do so! Rest assured, the lagoon’s mysterious waters are completely harmless. After experiencing the famous Luminous Lagoon, you'll be returned to your Montego Bay or Rosehall resort.
