The experience

The Firewater spring is a natural pool fed by gas and sulpher-rich water. You'll soak in the warm spring surrounded by Jamaican landscape, with the sulpher known to leave skin feeling refreshed. After that, you head to the Luminous Lagoon Glistening Waters, where you board a boat and get out onto the water itself. The real draw here is jumping in and swimming in the lagoon's flowing waters.

A guide meets you at your hotel (pickup is included from Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay, Montego Bay, Lucea, or Negril, depending on which option you choose at checkout) and drives you in an air-conditioned vehicle to both stops. The boat experience at the lagoon is run by C-Jay's Water Sports. The whole experience takes between two and three hours, so it fits into a morning or afternoon without eating up your full day.
