Unique travel experienceBy Alisson Cochiella November 14, 2023This was one of the coolest excursions I have ever been on. I went with my two teenage daughters. We loved it. it was one of the most unique experiences I have ever had. We were able to swim for a long time and it only cost us 25 a person. We went without pre buying our tickets.

Glowing Marvel in the NightBy Sue Watson April 13, 2023An April 2023 visit treated us to a unique and fun experience. This lagoon, one of only four in the world with glowing waters, was a memorable swim. Captain Vincent added to the joy with his knowledge about the area and the science behind this natural wonder. Free rum punch and a beautiful sunset made the waiting time worthwhile.
