Itinerary
- 1Your tour guide will meet you in the lobby of your hotel in Ocho Rios. From there you will be taken on a trip to the magnificent and very rare gem that is the Luminous Lagoon. The Luminous Lagoon is a very rare, so rare that this natural glistening water is only found in only four countries in the world - Indonesia, Bahamas, Puerto Rico and Jamaica. The Luminous Lagoon holds the record of been the brightest of the four. In 1964, John Hopkins visited Jamaica and did some studies in the lagoon which he discovered that the water contains phosphorus, small microorganisms that get their energy from the sunlight and then when the water is disturbed, by something like a paddle or a hand, they illuminate. The Martha Brae River also flows into the lagoon which assist in maintaining the perfect water temperature and other conditions. As soon as it gets dark your boat's captain will be ready to take you out in a boat to see this natural wonder. Make sure to take you swimsuits because there is a brief stop for you to take a swim. After the boat ride you will travel back to your hotel in Ocho Rios.1+

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- vabchtraveler0 contributionsJamaica ParadiseI contacted Marvyn's Paradise Tours with a request for a Private Tour similar to one I'd had previously years before. I wanted my friend to experience the Jamaica that Marvin's Tours previously introduced me to. We started out in a really nice vehicle from the cruise terminal in Ocho Rios with Kenneth as our host/driver. He took us immediately through Ocho Rios to Fern Gully. Now, Fern Gully is just a winding road through a dense rainforest area. The trees and tree ferns are amazing. Kenneth would pull over and let us take a look at the foliage and point out plants of interest to us. From there we went to a specific overlook of the city. There's spectacular viewing of much of the island from that vantage point. When we left that beautiful view, we travelled to Mammee Bay Beach - a private club/luxury hotel area. There we lounged on the beach and swam in the most beautiful, crystal clear water. A pool had formed inside the reef and we waded chest deep as small sargeant major fish swam around us. Magical. After an hour or so of lounging and swimming with fishes, we dressed and a very patient Kenneth drove us to Scotchies for lunch. Now, you may not know Scotchies but Marvyn had me taken there on my very first scenic trip in Ocho Rios and it is the bomb! I could hardly wait to get back! We dined on jerk pork and jerk chicken and festival - sharing all. Now, the deal is that Scotchies is the best jerk food in Jamaica, well, I guess that makes it the best in the world then, right? You better go on over there. Let Marvyn hook you up! Actually Marvyn has lots of tour options and you will not find better service. Thanks, Marvin and Sana for setting this up for us and special thanks to Kenneth, for a fabulous day!Written 7 February 2025
- eric k0 contributionsGreat experience with Marvyn's ToursJo-El from Marvyn's Paradise Tours was totally awesome. My wife and I always wanted to do a horseback riding in the ocean. We can't wait to do it again when we come back to Jamaica.Written 3 February 2025
- RhondaU6370 contributionsAmazing experience!We used Marvyn's Paradise Tours for both airport transfer and two individually crafted tours. Their communication and service was amazing! Our driver, Mr. T, was friendly and informative. He was always on time. We had one member of our group that was not feeling well and stayed at the VRBO. Mr. T stopped at a fruit stand and purchased fruits for the person so they could experience at least a bit of what we had experienced. I would highly recommend this team!Written 28 January 2025
- sarahlH7131KL0 contributionsPerfect dayGreat experience. Driver was amazing and right on time, tour guide for the Blue Hole was great and made sure everyone in the group had funWritten 3 January 2025
- mc3davis0 contributionsFun Excursion!Joel was an absolutely an amazing driver with knowledge of the area, he was flexible with our trip and took us to a good local lunch spot and a lookout point for photos since we had extra time. Our guides at the blue hole, Jay and Travis, took great care of us, getting us to all of the best spots to jump from and get wonderful photos. Our tubing experience was also so fun and we went through vibrant forests and rafting areas that were very fun! I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a fun break from resort life.Written 30 December 2024
- lisaaY2810TE0 contributionsAmazingWe did the Blue Hole first and everyone had a blast. J our tour guide was fantastic if you’re going request him. I was afraid to do the big jumps and jump from the falls but the kids did and had the best time. I would recommend this. Next we went to tube down white river and let me tell you it was an adventure there were rapids and dips and that guide was also amazing I can’t remember his name. But the best was our driver Joel he was fun, knowledgeable and even took us for a photo op that wasn’t part of our package. All in all. 100% recommend!!Written 30 December 2024
- Sandy B0 contributionsRushed and trashyThe tour started at blue hole and felt rushed, then for the tubing experience the majority of the time you had to hold onto someone else’s tube. The sides of the river were littered with trash. Extremely disappointingWritten 25 December 2024
- 37DanL0 contributionsGreat serviceOn time, knowledgeable, safe driver. Had no problem making a stop for us when requested. Kenneth was awesome. Would use againWritten 9 December 2024
- marywG5470FY0 contributionsThanksgiving 2024Family of four had tge best time! Our driver guide Kenny did a fantastic job getting us to and from the ship and was very attentive to any wishes we had other than the excursion. Our two guides at the blue hole were great as well as Dwight at the river tubing. We will definitely recommend and return one day soon!!!Written 28 November 2024

- O4356LCbrettb0 contributionsWhat an incredible and amazing time in Jamaica!! Thank you Sean!The memories we were able to make as a family were priceless! We were so blessed to have an Amazing tour guide and driver. His name was Sean. Sean was so kind and shared Lot's of fun facts about Jamaica. He took us safely to each of our destinations and made sure we understood how to be safe and how not to be taken advantage of as there are some in the area that would do so. Sean even surprised us with decorating up the van for my daughters birthday and for our anniversary. He really helped personalize our experience in Jamaica! We all had such a wonderful time there! Thank you Sean!Written 11 October 2024
- Meander536343056240 contributionsBEST FAMILY EXPERIENCE EVER!! And Marvyn and Shawn are the best!!!If you want to experience Jamaica - book a tour through Marvyn's. From the minute I emailed them, they were super helpful and ready to make our trip the best! We got off the cruise ship and they were ready and waiting for us with a large, clean, van for our group of 9 (16-69), even with our last minute booking, (we weren't sure we would be able to stop with Hurricane Helene threatening). Our driver, Sean, was the greatest guy!! He took us to Dunn's River Falls (which was AMAZING), and we were some of the first people there. He helped us understand how to be careful around the people selling souvenirs and he took care of us. Our guide at Dunn's River was awesome too. I lost my watch and they were able to dive and find it for me. We were celebrating our anniversary and our daughter's birthday and while we were hiking the falls, Marvyn personally came and with Sean they decorated the van for us. It was awesome!! The drive up to Blue Hole and our experience there was AWESOME! If you like to jump, dive, or flip into beautiful clear water, then this is the place. Sean knew a lot about the area and he took good care of us! He also suggested we stop at Linda's for the best jerk chicken, oxtail, and rice, and even called ahead to make sure there was enough food for us. It was honestly the best trip ever! We feel like Sean is part of our family now and we would love to visit again. We will definitely book through Marvyn's, and will request Sean to take care of us again!Written 11 October 2024

This tour was exactly as advertised. The bioluminescence you see while swimming in the lagoon is like no other. It’s very hard to capture on camera, but it was the experience of a lifetime. The water is warm with cold spots and the colors from the microorganisms is just insane to see in person. The tour is short, only about 30-35 min, but so so worth it! Highly highly recommend going. It’s one of only 4 places in the world where you can see and experience this phenomenon!

My family and I had an amazing time our driver Scottie was awesome. We were a family of 18 and the service was impeccable. We were picked up promptly at our designated pick up time, Scotty made sure we got the best tour possible. Luminous lagoon was such a sight to see a evening we will all remember. Thank you so much for your wonderful service.

The luminous lagoon itself is not very luminous, but I did use Marvyn's Paradise Tours and the service we received from Marvyn and Joel our driver was exceptional! Marvyn is AMAZING! He was so amazing that I booked our airport transfer with them for the very next day and did not use the driver from our Hotel.
