Very fun and relaxing tour with Mark, who was a great Captain and guide. The bioluminescence was good (the partial
Moon was surprisingly bright) and we had the shallow lagoon where we stopped virtually to ourselves. Recommended.

This was a relaxing trip, after sunset. Dark had set in, and we met Mark at Camana Bay after a short walk from our resort. Mark was friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. We took a 20 minute boat ride under a 3/4 moon sky to the bioluminescent bay. Mark had shared when we met that a recent king tide had washed a great deal of the plankton out and that the bay was currently at 25% luminescence. I appreciated that honesty upfront, and felt like he wanted us to return happy if we went. We were already aware of this, and opted still to mark the trip.

Once we reached our destination, the float in the bay was warm, relaxing, star filled above, and bioluminescent below the waters surface. Incredible to contemplate, think and appreciate the nature around us.

The bay is surrounded by gorgeous homes near Rum Point, so there was a bit to marvel there as well;)

All in all, the trip was a splurge for us. But it was nice to take a ride in the quiet with soft island beats thumping on the stereo. We appreciated Mark a great deal and the care he took of us.

My guess is that the day trips would be equally as exciting and enjoyable. The hospitality is really what takes it over the top.

Last thing. This is an adventure trip. No frills, bottle service, etc. Just kindness and a readiness to share this beautiful place. Would recommend to couples, but families as well. Five stars.

The guide was good, but they failed to tell us when booking that the bioluminescence had been blown out of the bay the month before and was just coming back, we didn't actually see that much. Certainly not worth the money we spent to see what we got. I'd Definity ask before booking what amount of Bioluminescence is in the bay and if there had been any storms or high winds that could have affected the levels.

The boat and the boat ride were fabulous. Very clean and a smooth ride. It’s an amazing ride at night. Cody and Mark did a great job. Be prepared, if the bay is in the phase where it's not as luminescent, it is still worth seeing. It's like a glittering wonderland underwater, but you do have to get in the water to see it.

Excellent tour, despite the full moon! This company was the only one we could find that was willing to bring us out during a full moon, so we had the whole bay to ourselves! ( Despite the moon which tends to wash out the bioluminescence , he took us to a darker area of the bay and we could see the glow just fine.) Our captain Mark was friendly and engaging, and very knowledgeable. Brought all the gear we needed, too, and we had a great time out there in the dark- it almost gave me an “outer space” vibe, very cool!
So glad we got to do this.

We had a wonderful guide, Mark who helped me get over my fears of going into the water- an incredible experience that we all were excited to try. And because of circumstance, we did not do star fish part of our trip and the tour operator Cody refunded part of our $ - really above and beyond-appreciated! We will be back ❤️

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!
