Grand Cayman Bioluminescent Bay & Starfish Point Boat Tour
4.3 · 16 Reviews
Overview
Grand Cayman is one of the world’s remarkable places to experience bioluminescence. Watch the island change from day to night on an evening that begins among the marine life of Starfish Point and continues into the glowing waters of Bioluminescent Bay. Cruise toward Starfish Point, where shallow, clear waters let you see the island’s famous starfish in their natural environment. Step into the warm Caribbean water, look for the unusual upside-down jellyfish, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings before continuing your evening on the water. As daylight fades, continue by boat toward Grand Cayman’s Bioluminescent Bay. Once darkness settles in, watch millions of tiny organisms illuminate the water with every movement and splash, creating a natural light show around the boat. Stay aboard and take it all in, or choose an optional swim and step into the glowing water yourself, watching the bioluminescence come alive with every movement around you.
