Overview

This lagoon, surrounded by mangroves, is home to microscopic organisms that emit phosphorescent light when the water is agitated.  Plan your trip for dusk and then take a boat ride onto the lagoon. As the water is disturbed, you'll see an eerie light illuminating the waters below.  Wave your hands or drag a stick in the water to make the water glow in the dark.  Those who wish can swim in the luminous waters as well.  (The lagoon is about 4-5 feet deep at the center.)  Boats leave from the Glistening Waters Marina, where there is also a restaurant and nightclub.  Visitors can enjoy dinner at the Glistening Waters restaurant while watching the bioluminescent show on the water.

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
