Harmony Beach & Luminous Lagoon: Montego Bay day and night

Swim at Harmony Beach in daylight, then drift through glowing waters after dark

A six- to seven-hour tour from Montego Bay pairs an afternoon at Harmony Beach Park with an evening boat ride through Luminous Lagoon near Falmouth, where bioluminescent water lights up at night. You'll have time to swim and relax under century-old trees at the beach, then travel to the lagoon for the option to swim among the glowing waters under the night sky. A live English-speaking guide, meal choice, bottled water and air-conditioned transport are included.

The experience

The day starts at Harmony Beach Park in Montego Bay, where you'll find both locals and visitors. The beach sits under 100-year-old trees that provide shade while you swim, lounge or read. Water sports like parasailing and clear kayak drone photography are available at an extra cost if you want to add them to the afternoon.

After sunset, you travel to Falmouth to experience Luminous Lagoon, also called Glistening Waters. The lagoon's bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon that makes the water glow and sparkle at night. A magical effect that happens because of organisms in the water that light up when disturbed. You'll take a boat ride through it and have the option to swim among the glowing waters if you choose.

The tour includes a choice of meal (KFC, Jamaican beef patties or jerk chicken), bottled water throughout, and an air-conditioned vehicle for transport between Montego Bay and Falmouth. Your guide speaks English and will be with you for the full experience.
