This place, I cannot completely explain the beauty of this place to you, you have to go see it. The water is like no other of blue it is. Be sure to pay someone to take you on a boat ride around the mountains have this amazingly calm appearance. You will be amazed.

Ive been here twice, once raining and today when it was very sunny and its just so beautiful, you should see it. There are a lot of fish here too so I recommend snorkelling if you can. When i came here the first time several years ago there where no seller stalls which there are now. Also ignore everyone at the top of the hill trying to escort/park you. The lagoon is free. If you want a boat ride then pay at the lagoon

This spot has magical qualities... You have to witness to understand! Truly magical! I have visited this place for my birthday, with friends, by myself for some peace to re-charge, and every trip was just better and better. Some construction may hinder the experience a bit however once you get pass that a magical oasis awaits.

WOW .... a wow moment. The Blue lagoon is a fresh water mixed with salt water wonder. We got on a raft with Anthony for $25 USD each and for two hours had a delightful ride as we had a few adult beverages. We were treated to the mineral pool then lazed and swam in the lagoon while my Cuz stayed on the raft chilaxing... great two hours on a Saturday afternoon

The bus driver drops us off a good hour before the story of watching a dance show that is far from professional, in order to extract some tips from the tourist. Dilapidated boarding pontoon, we did not have the pleasure of observing this natural phenomenon because there was nothing to see
Very disappointed !!!!

We drove up in our rental car and just wanted to swim in the lagoon. The touts pushing rafting trips ($50) were pretty aggressive. The area to swim is not very well-maintained or easy to navigate. There was trash strewn about and we ended up finding a little spot after wading around the side next to some huffed WD-40 cans. Romantic it was not. But the water was very blue, and the rapid changes in temperate from warm to cool was interesting.
FYI: Not that if matters, but this place has nothing to do with the movie “Blue Lagoon”, which was shot in Fiji. According to Wikipedia, savvy locals apparently renamed it from Blue Hole to Blue Lagoon to cash in on the association.

It is a nice area to swimm around. Note that many (smelling) boats might be disturbing, so take a swimm in the late afternoon when most boats are gone. You can climb a rope, sit on a swing, get to the fresh area pool (with water coming from the mountains, be aware, very slippery). Take a water resistent camera and have fun shooting Instagram worthy pictures.
There is a small beach with a restaurant where you can also rent a kayak. But don't expect anything fancy.

Our time at Blue Lagoon!! We are here visiting from Canada. Our guide took us here for this excursion. We met Captain Ringo who is a very good fellow! He took us for a boat ride around the lagoon. The waves were rough but he guided the boat with ease. My friends don’t much like boat rides but they enjoyed their experience!! Captain Ringo gave us the scoop about the beautiful homes we saw. He even knew which movies were filmed where. I highly recommend this tour!!

This was the very first time rafting. It was calming the water definitely brought some calm. We went across to the side bar and bought drinks and came back across. I must say the scenery is excellent. I recommend.

We went a fabulous tour of this area via boat, with the blue lagoon being our final destination point. Oh my goodness, this is a MUST! Highly recommend reaching out to Chris 1-876-369-2895. He was very kind and helpful, taking us to all of the cool spots (incl. private island, sea turtles, and local spots to eat).

Do you have to pay for parking?
Written November 8, 2021
There’s no cost to go there. You pay for boat ride on the lagoon or tours around the area on a boat or bamboo raft. They will also take you to a small island where you can swim and hang out. If you want to see the area you will need to do a boat tour because you old have a small entrance which leads to a small spot where you can look at the lagoon.

It all depends on what company you use but it will cost you about $6-$8,000 Jamaican per trip which has two people. Normally last for about 3 hours

Are there options for collections from Montego Bay hotels: The Riu?
Or can anyone recommend booking service where I can arrange the rafting/tour in advance rather than just turning up?
Written December 17, 2018
Usually at the resorts there are tour operators or agents that could arrange these things for you before hand, however you can always show up and get a raft to tour the lagoon.

No mosquitoes nor flies! There are amazing flesh eating plants catching them.

Just go there, you will find plenty of people offering a tour. We didn't take a tour, we just swam off the jetty instead

How much is the entrance fee & how much will it cost me taking a route taxi from Port Antonio to Blue Lagoon ?
Written September 14, 2016
A taxi is $20 US - but the local 'route taxi ' is only $200 JMD (about $2) each way. No entance fees at Blue Lagoon but also not much else but a broken down dock (no food available). Worth going, so beautiful! We were there on New Years Eve and went for a swim near midnight. Was awesome.

What is the cost for the blue lagoon boat ride or tour? Do you get to swim?
Written February 16, 2015
Not sure of the boat ride cost, but swimming is free. I wouldn't pay more than $4,000 Jamaican for the ride/tour though.
