The experience overall was good, a lot of waiting around until it went dark & time to go out on the boats. Although the actual luminous lagoon wasn't quite what we expected as far as it wasn't glowing blue & the water had to be agitated to give any form of glow, hence you had to swim in it to glow up. safety was OK by Jamaican standards but the possibility of been hit by another boat or left in the lagoon was quite high by UK standards. The fire show wasn't much at all & not really worth it.

Our pick up was over an hour late and due to us being picked up from a hotel we had no access too we had no access to food or drinks and had gone without any drinks for over 2 hrs due to arranging things around our pick up time. When reaching the lagoon we were dropped at the entrance and nothing was explained to us by our driver he just left us there. We didnt see the lagoon luminite as its advertised too. It was a very disappointing experience. Overall within 2 hrs we were back at our hotel.

More than 30mins late for the collection after being told to get there earlier due to a rescheduled earlier time. Far too long waiting around doing nothing. Should be collected a lot later. Told it was a 2-4 experience when it took over 5 1/2 hrs to get back. Lagoon experience only lasted for 30minutes of that 5 1/2 hrs. Should provide some sort of food, given the time taken until 9:30/10pm to return (from 4pm collect)

Positives - tour guide on the boat was amazing and funny. Kept everyone engaged throughout the journey and very informative. Fire show was also amazing, get seats at the back fence. Negatives - jellyfish in the water so be careful, 2 people got stung but they do not hurt as only small. Do not let this put you off getting in as it is an amazing experience just be careful of any allergies or low pain tolerances. They have spray on board the boat to help with the stings.

The guide left us at some destination. We only had the driver. Got there too early. No communication regarding this trip. We were told that we would be back by 20.00hrs by our rep. It was after 21.30 when we got back. It was awful just left there wre didn't know what was happening . We felt vulnerable

The driver Leroy was fab, it's a decent journey so be prepared! (From Lucea approx 1hr 20 mins each way) The tour itself was incredible, the crew and the experience was amazing and I'm so glad I did it. (If you're not prepared to swim, then you're really not going to experience the full effect - when you move in the water it 'glows') Afterwards a guy does The limbo/fire show which was enjoyable and nice way to end the eve (about 20 mins) Pick up 16:25 - drop off 22:00, so eat/plan food before!

This was a fascinating experience. The driver was very funny and informative. We did stop for a rum tasting before we got to the lagoon, do not buy anything as everything is massively overpriced. When we arrived he explained everything thoroughly and told us where to go and how we would board the boats. The lagoon is not very deep, about 6 feet max, and the bottom is soft mud. Swimming in different places produced the best effect. The fire show after was also brilliant, drinks are expensive tho.

The trip itself was great, guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable and the lagoon was a magical experience. However tui need to be more realistic with what they are advertising. This trip is advertised as 2-4 hours, it was 7.5 hours in total. 5 hours of this was driving from negril and back. The drive alone is far longer than the entire advertised trip time.

The outcome of this trip rests solely on if people go into the lagoon to swim. You will not see the effects unless this happens. On our boat approx 10 people went in and so not much to see. Pictures are also taken by crew with 'night camera' as Flash photography doesn't work. Pictures need to be paid for. Visitors should be aware of these facts before booking. Limbo/fire dancing was brilliant - saved the day.

Tui should explain that the trip doesn't leave until its dark so you will have to wait at jetty bar and restaurant for quite some time beforehand which although the venue is nice we didn't no if we had time to order food beforehand .. bit chaotic as no clear communication. Charge more for the trip and include a meal or at least advise of waiting time first. Sadly didn't see much but hey no control on nature but staff were friendly and entertaining

Rushed through to boat after being on coach for over an hour stuck in traffic. Everyone should be made to wear a life jacket, it's very dark and there was a current. No time for drink and missed limbo show. Water did not glow. Did not realise one side of boat was for professional photos so missed opportunity, unfortunately.

This was a brilliant trip that we were really looking forward to. The transfer from the hotel was quite quick and when we arrived everything was explained to us as to what to do. The trip on the boat was well organised but I would say if you aren’t a strong swimmer like myself then definitely take the life belt as you’re in the water for about 20 minutes.

Very disorganised given number but this didn’t seem to matter as when the boat turned up it turned into a free for all to get on the boats. Over crowded and a lot of waiting for it to get dark. Was told not to take our own photos as they wanted to sell you there own expensive photo what are enhanced. In the water the glow is very dim due to light pollution from the coast. Not as you would expect from the photo shown in the trip photo. We took our own photos which we enhanced to get the effect

Felt super safe on the boat and in the water the restaurant / bar area was lovely at the lagoon too. With a fire show. The drive wasn’t long either 30 mins from riu palace Montego bay. Highly recommended it’s a MUST! to do whilst in Jamaica!

There's no food included which was confusing but we made it back for our buffet

The Lagoon trip was everything I wanted it to be. We were picked up in a small mini van and only picked up two more people. It’s 2hrs from Negril, we stopped for a bathroom break but it was really disguising a shopping stop (not advertised, expected or wanted). Very well organised at the lagoon, you wait for dark 7pm in May and board the boat. They explain the bioluminescence and then you get to swim. We were in the water for 20mins approx and didn’t feel rushed at all. Best trip ever

You need to get the water to splash for it to glow. This wasn’t explained in the description. It was a good night though the photos taken by the company were expensive and not very organised when wanting to view them. The prices weren’t displayed anywhere either. However, the experience was great and I would recommend it. The guide on the bus was very good and the guys on the boat were really helpful, especially as I have mobility issues and walk with a stick.

The food when we got to the restaurant which backs onto the cruise was great tasting and the service was lovely. The cruise was one of the most amazing experiences we've ever done in our life - it's so warm in the water and the light up water was incredible and it was amazing to swim in the dark! The captain was so lovely as was the life guard definitely would encourage people to go!

Experiencing the Luminous Lagoon was amazing, like something from a Disney movie, felt magic swimming in the dark & being lit up bright blue by the microorganisms. Initially upon arrival we weren't given much direction about what we needed to do or where to go or how the grouping onto boats worked, which was confusing due to there being around 300+ people there, however once our wrist band numbers where called & we were on the boat the guides & captain were brilliant & entertaining! A must do!

Nice location with a good vibe in the restaurant/bar area. Rum punch on arrival, regular updates on boat departure times. Knowledgeable staff on boat and then when you get in the water, the experience is absolutely amazing, seeing the water glow blue as you swim around is awesome. One thing to be aware of, the photos are quite pricey! But then it's probably a once in a lifetime experience....

Had some bad TUI experiences this year. However this was really good. Picked up on time, fun guide. Liked the venue and bar. Good organisation. Toilets though had no running water all taps broken. Good fun out on the water and safety paramount. Not as luminous as photos suggest but still fun and yes when you move in the water it glows a bit. Little show after good. Take away food available at extra cost. Photos too pricey and badly organised. Good value I'd do it again.

Absolutely loved the experience. It was so interesting, and so cool to be in the lagoon with its hot and cold water! Got some amazing photos too. The only hindrance to the trip was spending about 30 minutes in a local shop where everything was ludicrously overpriced before we went to the lagoon.

Enjoyed the luminous water's while on the boat and being able to get into the water only downside was that the transfer picked us up way to early had to wait 90minutes to get on the boat Show after the boat ride was good before we we’re taken back to the hotel

The guide was touting for business. There was no food available other than buying it at the destination. This needs looking into as we were picked up at 3.30pm. We were not told we could buy food there so not enough money was taken. The captain of the boat was excellent with a lot of crowd participation made the boat ride great.

We got picked up from the hotel then taken to a shop in the middle of nowhere, where you were encouraged to buy at 50% off, but the prices were 50% dearer ha Got to the luminous cruise place, where we had to wait in the bar area for an hour before the 7:30 pm cruise. once aboard and jumping in - it was amazing! they take photos of you and will air drop these to your phone at a cost of 40USD!!! We haggled and paid 20USD for him to take a second to airdrop these. I would still recommend this trip.

We waited 50 minutes for our pick up to arrive. This was supposed to be 5pm but was 5:50pm instead. As the excursion is advertised as a cruise we did not expect to spend longer travelling to the area and waiting for the boat than we did on it. TUI really mis sold this according to the description. Following the short while out in the lagoon we returned to the vehicle where the driver had been smoking substances and white boxed the entire van.

The Luminous Lagoon was great, with faultless service from the staff, I couldn't fault it. This was however let down by the bus journey which was horrific, the bus felt like it had no suspension and was knocking, whining and banging for the 2 hours there and the same coming back. This was not the sort of vehicle that I expected for an excursion booked through the Tui app

The actual experience at the luminous lagoon was absolutely amazing, one of the best parts of our honeymoon. Totally amazing experience we’ll probably never do again! Shame the journey there took 3hours as they decided we needed to turn around to pick two extra people up after driving for 25minutes already. Traffic was then really bad and we had quite a storm on the drive there too (obviously this can’t be helped) which slowed the drive down more

Could the resort provide packed lunches perhaps? Positives 1 All drivers and staff were good. Good music and air conditioning. 2 The experience of swimming in the lagoon made up for the long travel. 3 The fire dance free entertainment provided by the venue was a welcome surprise.

This was a great excursion to end our trip - really magical and the best place in the world to see bioluminescence at work! Dayveon was a brilliant and hilarious driver. The logistics of the boat trip weren't great, however - some of the groups weren't told we'd be called by wristband number and there were different boat times and wristband colours. Simple to tell people, but it just didn't happen in advance so you had groups clambering over each other. Would be nicer if fewer guests per boat!

We understandbly picked up other guests from their hotels, but the guests didnt have their water shoes. The guide recommended they go back to their room for them. The hotels in Jamaica are massive, so we were sometimes waiting up ton20mins for others to go back to their rooms. You stop off at a gift shop- itinerary doesnt say this.. the gift shop claims to be 50% off… it’s clearly a tourist trap. The actual Blue Lagoon was amazing, id recommended making your own way there

Guide Davy aka Rastaman was really good. Funny and informative we learned a lot about the island from him on the journey to the location. He helped us through to get our tickets and promptly brought us home when we were ready explaining everything clearly from start to finish. Would like to have been told how long it took to get to the activity location from the hotel during booking. Was almost 2hrs to get there which we were not expecting. Trip time said Max 4 hours and we were gone nearly 6. We didn’t eat beforehand and missed dinner on returning to the hotel at 10pm. You could buy food at the trip destination but this was over priced. The lagoon itself was beautiful and a definite must see. A longer trip round the lagoon would be an improvement but still a thoroughly enjoyable trip!

Not what I expected. They pick you up super early before dark - this is to entice you to buy food and drink before hand, you have to wait until dark before setting off on a boat with about 30 other people. It takes about 2 mins on the boat which I thought took you to a lagoon however, it is just the river, it’s pitch black into which you jump from the boat and have about 5/10 swimming in then return. Not worth the money

Tui need to sort this out.

The experience itself was great. What I didn’t like was that I didn’t see any additional value booking it through TUI. You subcontracted the transfer to a local bus company and subcontracted the boat trip to another company. I could have gone to them direct. I have no idea what TUI “added” to the trip as there was no obvious input other that collecting our cash (and even that was done remotely through your app). Also didn’t like the fact that the tour was set up so that we ended up hanging around at the bar on the dock for over an hour prior to the actual experience. If that had been explained, we’d have arranged to have dinner there as we had a hungry 6 year old with us but didn’t realise we’d be left hanging around for long enough to order a meal.

The minibus driver made a detour to a gift shop before going directly to the lagoon to try and do the hard sell and said we would leave for the lagoon after 20 mins. We had also experienced this on the transfer to the Hotel (when there’s no TUI rep on board it seems this is what they try). When we arrived at the lagoon we were supposed to get a free rum punch but because it’s served from the bar they only want to serve people who are paying for beers etc. we had to stand and insist we got our free one.

As with the other tours we’ve been on whilst in Jamaica, whilst organised through TUI, this was not a TUI experience. There was no TUI representative on hand and the tour was provided by a local company. The bus driver did do the usual thing, which was to take us to a shop that was off the beaten track for us to try the local rum (aka hopefully purchase lots of souvenirs from a family-run shop), but we were at the boat near Falmouth within 20 mins from the Bahia Principe hotel in Runaway Bay. The luminous lagoon is an amazing experience - life jackets are provided for those who want them and the water in the lagoon is not cold. The water can be accessed by jumping in off the boat or via stairs and then the magical waters come to life with your movement. You are in the water for 30 mins and when back in dry land probably spend another 30 mins waiting for photos if you e purchased them off of the boat photographer. That said, it’s an amazing experience and if you’re lucky enough to visit on a cloudless evening, the stars are great too.

I'm not a confident swimmer, but I managed to experience with the aid of a life jacket to swim in the lagoon with my daughter. I can't believe that I did that especially as I had a minor panic attack when I realised I was swimming in open water and I couldn't feel the bottom. Staff gave practical advice on how to swim. The guide was informative and I loved his factual information and extra about patois. My only disappointment was the chap who took our photo tried to over charge me for taking my photo at 40USD I thought was over priced and its the assumption that being a foreigner that we are all affluent, but apart from that it was good. The driver was a friendly, courteous and professional and I felt safe with his driving. I would recommend this experience. It is reasonable priced and suited my already limited budget.

This was an amazing excursion. The transport was on time and the journey to the boat was around half an hour from riu in Montego Bay. When we arrive we were welcomed with a complimentary drink and given clear instructions what happened next. We had time for a drink, some entertainment was provided, limbo and fire breathing. After that we got on the boat. It was very dark. Only get on in swim wear if ur going in and take a towel. There is no changing or sting room on the boat. Swimming in the lagoon was amazing, it glistening so much. There was a photographer who took great photos. They were 40 dollars more. Worth all the money. One of the better excursions.

Konoko falls is in a beautiful setting with very informative and helpful guides . The climb up the falls is not too difficult and is much quieter than some of the others in the area .Lunch was included but there wasn't a vegan option , so both myself and my husband didn't have any food all day although the rest of the group enjoyed the meal The Blue Hole was a little more challenging with a jump into a waterfall and a swing into the water , which is really fast flowing . Great for thrill seekers but i would not recommend for anyone who is nervous of water or heights or for young children . The guide was great , he gave us life jackets and encouraged us to do the jump in our own time The Driver and guide stayed with us for the whole day and gave us lots of intersting information about Jamaica
