Glow worm tour - The crew was awesome. They were fun and insightful. Seeing the sunset, the stars, and the glow worms were all amazing. The glory of the Lord Almighty is very evident in the things He has made. I highly recommend this tour.

Must do tour! - This is a must do if you come on the island when the tour is being offered. The experience is so cool between the sunset, seeing the glowworms and watching the sky light up with all the stars. The staff is very accommodating and made the tour a lot of fun. Highly recommended!

Highly recommended! - This was our favorite excursion this week. The crew made it so much fun with a great party vibe. The stargazing was amazing and we saw so many glow worms! Snacks and drinks served and the rum was flowing! The glow worms don’t photograph well but are awesome in person.

Thousands of Glow Worms?? How About Dozens... - Our Feb. 5, 2026 excursion was postponed by a day to the 6th thanks to weather. I think that additional day likely caused us to miss the majority of the spectacle. We literally saw only the odd worm here and there, perhaps a few dozen in total on our side of the boat. Very underwhelming and disappointing. BUT...we did have a fabulous sunset, the crew were great, the rum punch was great, and we had a rockin' good party going on thanks to a birthday being celebrated on board! We had a generous helping of deep fried seafood served as well. All in all, an enjoyable evening notwithstanding the absence of large numbers of glow worms.

No Glow Worms - possibly too late - Our tour was five days after the full moon. We were told 4 to 6 days after the full moon would be best. However, there were no glow worms. We heard from someone else afterwards that it is best to do a couple of days after the full moon only.

Glow worm tour had a booze cruise atmosphere, not suitable for small children - We booked the Glow Worm Cruise with our 1-year-old expecting a relaxed, family-friendly eco tour with snacks and refreshments. Children under 3 are free, which suggested that this cruise was suitable for toddlers. Right away upon boarding, it was clear this wasn’t the case. Alcohol was repeatedly and enthusiastically plugged (and served) from practically the moment we were seated. The crew loudly hyped up the passengers to a “wooooo!” party atmosphere. Over by the bar, a staff member gave an impromptu twerking lesson. Their vibe was much more “booze cruise” than nature tour. More concerning were the safety issues for young children: • Children’s life jackets were not mentioned during the briefing, and infant life jackets were not distributed during boarding. Even if they had children’s life jackets in the locker, it was not at all clear they would fit a 1 year old—and certainly they did her no good stashed away in a locker. • There was an open break in the railing directly adjacent to the seating area, leading directly to the swim platform, with no gate. • All seating was on an open deck, with no enclosed area to retreat to away from the railing hazard and potentially rowdy passengers. • The safety briefing was delivered largely as jokes (“If you see me grab a life vest and jump overboard, you know what to do! Haha!”) rather than clear instructions. In light of all this, we chose to leave the boat before it left the dock. When we did, a crew member on the dock insisted that my wife hand him our daughter over the water rather than carrying her off. When she complied, he lost his balance and stumbled while holding our daughter, until another crew member caught him. That confirmed to us that we had made the right decision. After we raised our concerns by email, the company did issue a full refund, which we appreciated. But parents of toddlers should be aware that this tour is not set up in a way that prioritizes the safety of small children.
