The boat itself was filthy and it was difficult to climb through (there were wooden boxes between the rows of seats which you were supposed to step on to get over the rows. Once the boat stopped you were invited to get into the water which we did but so many people had already swum through that it was hard to find a spot with much spark left in it. Unless you were sitting on the edge you could not see the fluorescent glow as the boat sliced through the water. There were many boats on the water, each tightly packed full of people. Well, it s huge but overall it would have been better if you went out in sea kayaks or small canoes since the movement of the boat actually created the most dramatic fluorescent moments. We were excited to hear that this lagoon was huge. We have always wanted to see the luminescent phytoplankton and have never made it to the one in Puerto Rico. Needless to say my birthday plans did not work out as I had planned for a year instead I spent 3 hours disputing with a SUNWING rep the importance one my trip ended with no resolution but to complaint SUNWING so folks my advice to you is book local with the local tours or the actual Resort tours like Scuba Caribe. made my way over to the Sunwing Annisha who rudely responded with we told you that you were going to the seven mile beach and it doesn't matter what bar you stop off at, she refused to give us a credit or even provide us with a next day trip the with the itinerary we paid for in fact she offered us the same trip for the next day $100 US more per person. Thats not what we paid for so we asked if we could return to our hotel after much back and forth, we did. we get to Jamwest and its like ghost town. The bus driver enroute announces to us if you thought you were going to Margaritaville there's been a change of plans you are going to Jamwest. My entire group up and ready to party that day jump on the bus to Margaritaville.

The tour clearly stated : 1st stop Margaritaville- Seven Mile Beach then on the catamaran to Rick's Cafe. So, we booked for 16 people the Catamaran tour at $76.00 US per person. Planning my 50th Birthday Group trip to Jamaica for a year- stayed at Riu Negril (Sept 24-October 1)! I was advised that Sunwing would handle my excursion for the day of my birthday.
