About this experience

Your day trip starts with pickup from your hotel. On the stress-free drive to Negril, soak up scenic views along the coast. Tell your driver if you’d like to make an optional stop for shopping in Negril. You'll start with the famous Negril beach, where you can swim, snorkel, or simply relax on the sand. Then it's off to Rick's Cafe, where you can have a drink while you watch the area's famous cliff jumpers descend into the sea from a 35-foot-high cliff.
In Negril, spend the rest of the afternoon soaking up the island vibes at Rick’s Cafe, a popular clifftop restaurant and bar. You’ll have enough time to try classic Jamaican fare and drinks (own expense), listen to music, and swim in the pool with ocean views. Leap off coastal cliffs into the sea if you’d like. Watch one of the most magical sunsets on the west side of Jamaica, and possibly a live show, Jamaican-style. Your day trip ends with drop-off at your hotel.

Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Here time stands still and relaxation becomes a way of life. Long known for its laid-back atmosphere and its 7-mile stretch of sparkling, pristine white sand beach, Negril invites you to discover her charm and excitement. Spend some time relaxing and taking a swim in the beautiful Negril waters.

One of the main attractions in Negril, Jamaica is the beaches, specifically the famous Seven Mile Beach. Seven miles of silky golden sand for beach lovers to enjoy. This natural oasis is ideal for sunbathing, snorkeling, and scuba diving with other fun water sports.

Stop 2

Here guests will see the first public bar and restaurant of its type on the West End Cliffs of Negril, offering an alternative to Negril's majestic seven-mile beach. From the beginning, Rick's Cafe boasted an unrivaled view of the sunset from its naturally formed cliffs. Over the years, visitors and locals alike have designated Rick's Cafe as Negril's premier gathering spot and the sunsets have become a Jamaican tradition.

Jam to contagious reggae music, swim in the pool with a beautiful ocean view and if you are brave enough, jump off the cliff, and eat real Jamaican food with real Jamaican flavors and drinks. The sunset tour is not famous for any reason. The view of the Jamaican sunset is the best at the very west of the island. There might even be an evening show right after the sun sets and just nuff vibes, Jamaican style. Shopping in Negril can be arranged, just ask your driver as soon as you board and always feel free to communicate with your guide.
