Description

Join us for an unforgettable day trip to Negril, Jamaica! Start your day with a guided scenic bus ride on Jamaica's North Coast to Negril, where you'll have time to shop for souvenirs before heading to Margaritaville. Relax, walk, and soak up the sun on the famous 7 Mile Beach, with plenty of time to grab lunch on your own. In the afternoon, board our catamaran cruise. Enjoy snorkeling (weather permitting), spotting colorful fish and corals, or simply relaxing on deck. Our cruise features a lively party atmosphere with drinks and music included. We'll make a stop at the reef and Rick's Cafe. Watch the sun seemingly melt into the sea as you rock to the beat of reggae music from the live band. If you are going on the cruise, you will arrive here by boat. All passengers then reboard the bus at Ricks, once the sun has set (Visit depends on weather conditions). *Disclaimer: Sunset viewing times are subject to change based on the season, and exact views may vary.

Best experience, highly recommend!

The best tour I’ve ever taken. It is 100% worth it. The highlight was definitely our guide, Shawn, who showed us the city along the way; he was kind and friendly. The journey was accompanied by great reggae music and cultural insights. The catamaran trip was a total party. It is definitely an experience you have to try. We highly recommend it!

Pickup not available

Prior to booking the trip I checked availability for pickup and noted that the team picked up from hotel and air bnbs. After booking I was advised that they only pick up from hotels. Very annoying as this meant I ended up doing absolutely nothing. Wasted day!

Operator response

We re sorry you did not participate in this tour. Always read the tour description and inclusions carefully before booking your next excursion. It states in the description of this tour, "Pickups are done on the Main Road or close to any major hotels." We do not pickup from Airbnb and there is no confirmation that we do in the description of this tour.

A perfect day! Negril catamaran to Rick’s cafe

Shawn was the best driver ever! He felt like family. We were in a private pickup, he came in time and waited for us. He offered great conversation, safe driving and made us feel at home. I would recommend Shawn and this excursion to everyone who comes to Jamaica.

Operator response

Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate your recommendation!

Catamaran experience

We booked a catamaran cruise but the stand out of the whole trip aside from the beautiful cruise and views was our driver Shawn. Showing us the different cultures of Jamaica and being helpful throughout the whole journey as well as accommodating with what we needed. Amazing experience that makes me just want to comeback.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback!
