About this experience
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 Ricks Cafe, Jamaica's most famous cliffside bar, where you can watch daring cliff divers and take in the breathtaking views.
As we sail, you'll have the opportunity to witness the stunning pre-sunset or full sunset, depending on the time of year. *Disclaimer: Sunset viewing times are subject to change based on the season, and exact views may vary.
