There is a cooler on board. Bring your drinks and food! Swim under the boat for the best bioluminescent contrast
Really a nice adventure once the thunderstorms moved away.. I was wondering if the crew was more interested in completing the trip vs canceling due to lightning but in the end it worked out.
So much fun, even in the rain. The bioluminescence was a very cool experience and the captain and crew took good care of us.
A very fun experience for family with 2 teenagers.
The captain and tour guide were very nice. The bioluminescence wasn’t very bright, but with nature it always a gamble what you get! Still glad we had the experience.
Really great ride and sweet hosts. The bioluminescence was a bit light but that’s the moonlight. We did have a great trip
We weren’t totally sure what to expect on this trip and were pleasantly surprised. Our guides were wonderful and very knowledgeable about the bay and Grand Cayman in general. Half our group stayed on board the boat to watch from above. The other half braved the bay and were not disappointed!! Very cool and totally unique experience that you really have to see to believe. Was really cool to see it underwater with a mask! Magical! Highly recommend!! Wear bug spray- the mosquitos were terrible!
Everything was great except for the actual bioluminescent. We were taken to an area with to much lighting. The lighting came from home that was around us. In order to see a little of the bioluminescent, we had to swim under the boat. Otherwise there was nothing. This was disappointing. Have traveled to other places and I know that it has to be a lot darker. I recommend to you find a darker spot so that customers have a better experience. The crew were great and very helpful.
So amazing! Went on a fairly dark night and the glow under water is magical! OK, it’s not really a glow - it’s sparkles of individual lights. My wife said it reminds her of the sparkles from a Disney princes wand. Definitely a highlight of our trip! The boat can get a little ocean spray - so if it’s cooler, pack a layer. They guys on the boat were awesome too - loved the playlist in the ride back. It was perfect for our honeymoon adventure!
Great experience and wonderful tour guides. They were very knowledgeable and we got to see starfish, jellyfish and the bioluminescence algae. We all loved it especially our two teens.
