Suzette Tours Jamaica

Description

Located in Falmouth, Trelawny the Luminous Lagoon (Glistening Waters) is a natural wonder. Here, guests are taken to a phosphorescent lagoon where they will embark on a beautiful night cruise. During this four hour, small group tour you will see multitudes of microscopic organisms in the water who, when disturbed, create glowing emanations on the water's surface. This lights up the lagoon in an eerie, glistening light. Come and watch the fish in the lagoon swim and dart around, and see their outlines in cool hues as they light up in the darkness. This water is about eight feet deep and is safe to swim in as well.

Good time

It was amazing to see the water glow. I had a great time. Our guides and captain have us the back history of why it glows and tips while we swam in it

Stopover at Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

Coming out of the ship, near the port, on the right, there is a nice small village reserved for tourists, with shops, bars, restaurants; you can also access the beach paying 10 dollars per person ($15 if you also rent the sunbed); convenient for those who do not want to get away from the ship. The prices of souvenirs in general are not low. Interesting the visit to Dun River Falls (not far from the harbor); The falls are a bit challenging, not suitable for everyone; but if you want you can visit them remaining on the side, out of the water, on wooden platforms. Downstream there is an unequipped beach, but there are changing rooms for those who want to take a bath. Wi-fi available. People in general are welcoming; they often offer you marijuana smoke, it is tolerated there, just refuse politely and they will not insist.

As magical as it looks!

The most surreal experience of a lifetime. Our drive suzette was fun and very nice. We had a beautiful scenic route and once we arrived the staff greeted us. The captain was very informative and the experience itself was so magical. The water was warm and watching the water glow up is as cool as it gets. Will definitely book again!

Awesome experience

Had a wonderful experience. The driver, Earnest was very friendly and provided detailed history of Jamaica as we travelled to the lagoon. Since we were the only passengers, we were at ease, not worrying about being too close to other. On the open air boat, there was plenty of space. Swimming in the lagoon was a very unique experience. The more the surface of the water was disturbed the brighter it glowed. As you pulled your arms out of the water they glowed as the microorganisms and water dripped off. It was amazing. The only draw back was that you couldn't capture it with your own camera. There was a photographer and you could purchase their pictures, but we did not bring money for that.

Thanks for this wonderful review.

It is not a tour itself

The cost of this “tour” was just for transportation. I didn’t expected to be just transportation. If I knew it in advance , then I could drive by myself. The transportation itself was 138 USD for two persons. That is why I don’t consider this as a tour. Please be aware of this detail that is not very specific in the tour details.

Luminous lagoon

The place is beautiful, but yo can't take good pictures and is mandatory that the photographer in the lagoon take the pictures for you and the cost for that is too expensive!!! We paid 25 usd for 8 pictures and is impossible negociate with them. Again, the place is lovely!!! But take care!!!

Operator response

Thank you for that review.

Amazing time

I want to thank Suzette Tours Jamaica!!! I wanna start by saying that, they greeted us at CTI and took us on amazing adventures. We start off going to The 9 miles, Bob Marley house, where he was raised for the first 14 yrs of his life with his mother and family. It was amazing experience!!! Then we went to an Jerk Shack. As they took us to the Luminous Lagoon and we went up and down the beautiful water!! It was so peaceful and amazing. Then we relaxed and got to know the family from the heart. We relaxed at the car wash and we had even more of an amazing time!! To know that you can relax and trust your life with people that don't live with you. Suzette made it happen. I've left my belongings and money with her and her family, nothing was ever touched and was protected. They made it a worry free and such a pleasure to travel to Jamaica!!! I could not ask for more of an amazing experience, in Jamaica!!! Thanks guys, I promise to stay in touch and will see y'all soon!!!!! God bless y'all and may God continue to bless you and your family 🙏❤️!!!! Much respect and much love from the girls in Pennsylvania!!! Hugs and kisses!!!! We miss y'all!!!!
