LUMINOUS LAGOON NIGHT TOUR
The luminous lagoon is renowned for the magical, blue-tinged glowing effect that can be observed when its waters are disturbed. The glowing effect of the lagoon is due to microorganisms known as dinoflagellates that light up when touched.
A tour of the Luminous Lagoon includes a boat ride to the location where the light show can be experienced.
The boat ride to the Luminous Lagoon takes between 45 minutes to an hour and tours include a trained tour guide who can provide information on the lagoon and the bioluminescent organisms therein.
During the Luminous Lagoon, tour visitors have the option of swimming in the lagoon or staying on the boat.
The Luminous Lagoon isn’t very deep, just around 3-8 feet.
If you plan on getting into the water, you might want to wear water shoes as the bottom is slippery and has a jelly-like texture. Wearing water shoes during this excursion definitely makes it a whole lot easier to stand and enjoy the experience!
