Buyer beware
A tale of 2 stories. The actual boat trip and swimming was hi 5. Absolutely amazing. Bring a towel and adjust your camera settings before you leave. Now for the reason it's a 3. We were completely mislead and lied to. We booked a 1 hour excursion online directly. We were put into a tour which included a show. This backed up the starting time by at least an hour. They of course had food and drinks in the restaurant which was their plan all along. Everyone I asked said the boat was leaving in 20 minutes, even the 3rd time I asked and the tour was ordering dinner. ( The food was gross). A shame such a beautiful experience started out so poorly. I can't recommend liars even though it was a n amazing experience.

Unforgettable Private Tour to the Blue Lagoon with Thomas Explora Tours!
We had an absolutely incredible experience on our private tour to the Blue Lagoon with Thomas Explora Tours here in Jamaica. From the moment we were picked up, everything was seamless and professionally handled.
Our guide was warm, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely at ease. The service was top-notch, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged. The Blue Lagoon was even more beautiful than we imagined, crystal-clear water, peaceful surroundings, and the perfect setting for swimming and relaxing.
Having the privacy and flexibility of a private tour made the experience even more special. This was truly a highlight of our trip, and we’re so glad we chose Thomas Explora Tours.
Highly recommended for anyone visiting Jamaica, you won’t regret it!

For me and my wife it was...
For me and my wife it was a waste of time and money. It’s not a company’s fault but we did not experienced any glow. Only experience was swimming in the muddy water after sunset. It was just a bad day for this activity. Our driver was nice and we got there and back to the hotel safe.

Amazing Experience!!
My Friends and I had an amazing time. Odane was amazing, we were in awe of the location, such a beautiful thing to experience. He kept us informed throughout the entire experience, as women its super important to feel safe especially going places where you don’t know anyone. We felt safe and sound as soon as we met Odane, he was friendly and just the best person to do this with. Can’t wait try another location.
