Overview

  • Join us for an unforgettable evening as you witness millions of tiny plankton illuminating the waters at night. This unique boat tour gives you the chance to experience Cayman’s famous Bioluminescent Bay from the boat or take an optional evening swim in the glowing waters.

    Our adventure includes two incredible stops: first, visit Starfish Point around sunset, where you can see the island’s famous starfish in their natural environment. Then, head to Bio Bay, where every movement and splash brings the water to life with a remarkable glow.

    Experience this rare natural phenomenon up close with a local crew that knows these waters, and discover one of the most unique experiences Grand Cayman has to offer.

    Don’t miss this unique adventure — it’s a must-do on your Grand Cayman getaway!
