Glistening Waters: a once-in-a-lifetime experience

YOU MAY think glowing in the dark may be a stretch of the imagination. However, you could experience this rare feat with a trip to the world-famous Glistening Waters Restaurant and Luminous Lagoon this heroes holiday weekend for a fraction of the regular cost when you dine.

Considered among the most exotic of experiences to be had anywhere in the world, the Glistening Waters Restaurant and Luminous Lagoon comes alight at nights due to the water's bioluminescence as a result of the presence of microscopic living animals known as dinoflagellates.

"Glistening Waters is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Exposing nature's phosphorescent luminous lagoon which is the brightest in the world!" boasts Rosealee Bernard, manager of the natural attraction, which is located along the main road near Falmouth in Trelawny.

Unlike other bodies of water that get dark at night, as the name suggests, the water at Glistening Waters Restaurant and Luminous Lagoon actually lights up and glistens in the dark. If you should take a swim, it will make your body glow!

It is an experience worth enjoying and this holiday weekend would be a good time to partake, especially at half the regular price when you have dinner at the attraction. Tours of the lagoon come with complimentary drinks.
