The bioluminescence bay was like nothing I've seen before. It was well organised and a wonderful experience and our guides were very helpful.

This tour was very easy to enjoy. The evening and sunset clouds were beautiful. We saw sea stars and bioluminence. The sparkles in the water was magical. Nylon body suits were provided as protection from jelly fish we couldn't see in the dark. Snorkle gear was provided as well. My mask and hands just shimmered in the lights. This is perhaps a once in a lifetime experience for us, unless we travel back to Grand Caymam, because I would do it again.

This was such an amazing experience! The boat ride itself was enjoyable soaking in the great weather while music played. Holding the starfish was unique, and there were so many to see. The bioluminescent snorkeling/swim was so cool! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it didn’t disappoint, with the blue glow of the water around us when we moved, and without movement, the water had a glitter effect when looking through the swim mask. Staff were awesome as well. Highly recommend!

We went to starfish island first- perfect temperature. Loved it. Our guides then took us to the bio bay. Good advice to swim under the boat- it was the darkest and best place to see it. Mosquitos were out-thank god our guides brought the bug spray. Loved our adventure. Thanks Aaron! We were allowed to bring our own drinks and snacks too. Kristin and Brian from Atlanta

Absolutely amazing experience! The boat crew were very helpful and reassuring. They took the time to take individual pictures of each family and group in the water. I highly recommend this tour company!

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The picture and video don’t do it justice. To see the tiny plankton light up as you move past them. I highly recommend using a snorkel mast so you can see what’s happening around you. Slowly moving your hands in front of you looks like you are shooting electricity out your finger tips. Our crew was great- very friendly, very knowledgeable, and happy to shoot pictures and video for us. This boat has a double hull, so we could swim under it for extra darkness to see the glow even better. Would highly recommend this excursion and this crew.

This was an amazing experience! Getting in the water is highly recommended. Pepe and Aron were awesome, very professional, personable, and willing to help. They had protection suits so there were no worries about jellyfish. I would love to go with them again.

WE did this under a full moon in the rain with lightning. They had us swim under the catamaran to block the moon's brightness for an even more magical affect. The workers were both fun and kind. They were also masterful photographers and gentle with iphone instructions for the elderly. I have had many many magical experiences in my life, but this is right at the top. We were all accommodated individually and had the time of our lives. I can't recommend this highly enough! Just DO IT!

This was a very relaxing experience. We went out at 6:30pm and returned at 9 pm. We brought towels and bug spray. Mosquitoes are bad at night. It was a neat experience to se the bioluminescent in the water.
