The SNL tour guide was Marlan Kennedy and he was superb - really funny and engaging and ready to answer any questions about Jamaica. Pick up from the hotel was prompt and we arrived at the Luminous Lagoon with plenty of time to see the warm up dance show / get changed into swimmers before sundown.
The lagoon itself is amazing - you don't need to be a swimmer, so this really is for everyone. Swimming around the boat, passing through warm and cold areas and all the time it was like casting spells in Harry Potter! The dinoflagellates which emit the bioluminescence are only found in four places on earth, so you will be hard-pushed to experience this anywhere else.
The whole family were completely captivated!
Just a couple of tips - you are most UNLIKELY to get good pictures with your own camera as the light levels are exceptionally low. Each boat has an official photographer and they take a lot of pictures (of everyone). These were really good and we ended up buying them (they can be bluetoothed to your phone or emailed immediately), but the prices are USD20 for one, or USD50 for all of them...and they only take cash.
