★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 44 reviews · from $599

See Grand Cayman’s glowing bioluminescent bay by private boat, with swimming, snorkeling, stargazing, and flexible group comfort.

“Stunning experience, and Mark was a kind and knowledgeable captain! The ability to view the bioluminescence is based on how bright (or rather, how dim) the moonlight is. Before booking, I checked the lunar schedule and opted for a night as far from the full moon (as close to the new moon) as I could during our time in Grand Cayman. Definitely paid off, Highly recommend this experience!”

“Travelled with family on 23rd dec night. There was no such bioluminescence in the bay. It was all funny to spend this much money for literally nothing. Crew & staff was very nice but the timings were told to be 6:30pm to 9:30pm. But we were back by 8:00pm lol. Felt like little scammed with this activity specifically”
