GLISTENING WATERS

This natural phenomenon resulted in an amusement park style sound and light show, with an on-site restaurant open for dinner. It is the meeting of the fresh, cool water of the Martha Brae River with the warm, salty water of the Caribbean Sea that has given rise to microorganisms called "bioflagellates", an extremely rare phenomenon that has only been observed in 5 other places on the globe. These tiny organisms create a bioluminescence that translates, in simple terms, into bluish glows triggered by any movement. Thus, from the boat launched in the night, we can see beams moving at the bottom of the water: fish. We are surprised to see the boat's wake take on incredible fluorescent hues. A highlight: volunteers can immerse themselves in these sparkling waters to see the contours of their bodies light up as they swim, a truly magical moment to experience at least once in a lifetime. The guided tour also includes a historical review of the town of Falmouth and the lagoon. A lagoon that, just before the arrival of violent cyclones, sees many boats come to anchor there. The reason is that the " luminous lagoon ", protected by a compact mangrove, is the safest cove of the whole north coast when strong winds blow and the sea gets rough, it remains sheltered. We recommend the Falmouth Mystic package which, in addition to the luminous lagoon, offers you a drink and a show of traditional Jamaican dances.
