Itinerary
Begin your evening with a scenic boat ride across Grand Cayman’s coastal waters toward Cayman Kai. Boat departure is at 6:30 PM during the summer season and 5:30 PM during the winter season. Complimentary hotel pickup is available for guests staying in participating areas, or you can meet the crew directly at your assigned dock. Arrive at Starfish Point, a peaceful stretch of shallow, clear Caribbean water known for the starfish that live naturally along its sandy bottom. Step into the warm water for a closer look, and keep an eye out for the unusual upside-down jellyfish also found in the area. Enjoy the warm Caribbean water and the colors of the evening before boarding the boat again and continuing toward the highlight of the night: Cayman’s Bioluminescent Bay, where the next part of your adventure begins after dark.
Enter Cayman Kai’s Bioluminescent Bay and watch the water come alive with millions of tiny glowing organisms. Every movement and splash lights up the water around you, creating an incredible natural light show beneath the night sky. Learn about this fascinating natural phenomenon from your local crew and choose to experience it from the boat or take an optional swim in the glowing water. After your time in Bio Bay, board the boat for the scenic return journey. The complete boat experience lasts approximately 2 hours, dock to dock.

Be ready to swim. Looks cool from the boat but is much better in the water. My wife and I enjoyed this.
Experience was overpriced and not as long as promised. Save your money. It said they would pick up up then they told us they would not pick us up.
Everything was fantastic! We arrived on time, checked in and as we got right on the boat, we were greeted by the captain and 2 other gentlemen. Starfish bay was great. They were very knowledgeable and fun. The sunset boat ride was fabulous and the experience in Bio Bay was a once in a life time adventure! Highly recommended.
A fun and exciting excursion. We enjoyed that we were staying a one of the hotels they pick.you up from. The whole crew were friendly and educational. We had an amazing night for seeing the glow.
There were clouds in the sky dimming the light on the ocean. It helped us to see the bioluminescence well. It really was a great experience. Charles and Kevin were both great at explaining everything and showing us what to do. Marcela took some great photos and videos.
Great! Michael, Marcella and Kevin were great hosts and guides. On time and informative. A bit of humor, but not to corny. Got us right into starfish beach and taught us a lot about starfish and upside down jellyfish. Kevin made sure we knew how to handle both safely - for us and the animals. Michael got us tucked up way into the bioluminescence in a quiet bay. Marcella took really good videos and pics. It was wonderful!
It is fun, easy and well organized! Well worth the time ! Boat in great condition, guides are experienced and the phenomenon is a bucket list item.
I didn't go. It was canceled when I should never had been able to book it. I was advised after purchasing the tour that it had been canceled because the solstice ended on November 26th. I booked this excursion after November 26th. Now trip advisor is telling me that I have to make changes with the 3rd party Viator. Not a good experience. Getting a refund has not been easy.
The best group of guides and best camera man! It was so fun and educational! We really enjoyed this tour, pictures, crew! Would definitely do this again if we come back here!!
Worth It!Really cool experience! Ths when you move it, which was fun to see. The tour was well-organized, and the crew made sure everyone had a great time. If you’re looking for something different to do at night, this is a great choice!
Something Different to TryWe wanted to do something unique while in Grand Cayman, and this tour was perfect. The boat ride was nice, and the bioluminescence was amazing to see. The crew was friendly, and the whole experience was easy and relaxing.
So Glad We Did This!I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this tour was awesome! The glowing water was really cool, and the boat was comfortable. The guides made sure everyone had a good time and answered all our questions. A fun and different way to spend an evening!
We had a great time on this tour! The crew was very nice and explained everything well. The bioluminescence was really cool, and we even got to swim in it. The tour was well-organized, and everything ran on time. Would recommend!
Fun and Unique Experience! This was such a cool tour! The boat ride was smooth, and the crew was super friendly. The water actually glows when you move it, which was really fun to see. We also stopped at Starfish Point, where we got to learn about the sea life. Definitely something different and worth doing in Grand Cayman! Great Tour and Friendly Crew
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
