Rafting on the phosphorous illuminated blue glistening waters

Jamaica Luminous Shallows: Brightest BioLuminescence on the planet.

POINTER.
Every night past dark, boats leave from docks at the "Glistening Seas" dining establishment.
Presence is best against a dark skies when the moon is less than half full, so prepare your check out for the darkest evening of your trip.

the water in the Jamaica Luminous Lagoon is a little uncommon in colour (grey-brown) and there is no sand. However the lagoon floor really feels a little bit like jelly or a soft peat mud because of the mangroves and silt that boils down from the river and rainfall. It's an odd sensation yet you get used to it quite quickly. Putting on excellent water footwear.

It is an unique bay that is surrounded by mangroves and was developed where the fresh waters of the Martha Brae river meet the Caribbean Sea. Jamaica's Luminous Lagoon is home to billions of normally taking place "bioluminescent" microorganisms, i.e. they illuminate when touched. You can not see them throughout the day, however by night, spraying the water causes a creepy blue radiance. The small organisms are harmless to human beings and it's secure to swim together with them. The blending of both fresh as well as salty water loads the bay with brackish water, producing the best environment for these tiny animals to prosper.

Falmouth Shallows composes part of the Trelawney marshlands of northern Jamaica and also stretches from Rock to Falmouth.
Unlike the more famous Jamaican playground, Falmouth is an enchanting historic community where you'll delight in serenity. You can also explore the 18th as well as 19th-century-style houses and also old sugar ranches on horseback.

The Luminous Lagoon is a bay as well as all-natural phenomenon with harmless microbes called dinoflagellates that discharge blue-looking light when disturbed. When this happens we obtain bioluminescence in the world which creates a mesmerizing glow of ultra blue light across the shallows when the water is sprinkled or touched.

The shallows lies simply outside the historic community of Falmouth, Jamaica, concerning half an hour from Montego Bay. Falmouth Shallows is among the largest as well as most brilliant sparkling lagoons in the world. By day it's a magnificently calm and simple shallows; in the evening it lives like a Jamaican reggae event, with the slightest motions making it glow bright-neon blue. This light show motivated residents to refer to as the lagoon 'Sparkling Waters' and 'Luminescent Lagoon'. The phosphorescence of the lagoon results from the bacteria that call these waters residence.
