    About this experience

    Blue Hole Mineral Spring sits beneath a cavernous opening in Jamaica’s terrain and is completely encased by Karst limestone. Naturally occurring minerals in the limestone (known for their therapeutic value) act as an underground filter for the steady upwelling of water, leaving behind a luxuriously pure bath of minerals for guests to enjoy. Rick's Cafe in Negril is one of Jamaica's most famous hot spots. It's actually a bar and restaurant, but most people go there for heart-throbbing cliff jumping, and breath-taking sunsets!

    Loved the Blue Hole and our driver, Kevin!

    Giving it 5 stars for the Blue Hole and our driver Kevin! The Blue Hole was awesome! The people there were great. Kevin was great too! We didn’t really care for Rick’s food, but the two jumping cliffs are high and fun.

    The driver put our life in danger!

    Our driver picked up up at 12:00 from the Hilton hotel in Montigo Bay. We did not arrive to the blue hole until 3:00 when I was told it was only 1 1/2 hr away. The blue hole was nothing special. The pool there was green and I did not get in it. We left then Our driver got into a wreck. We were in the middle of nowhere. Our driver gets out starts yelling at the other driver I have several videos but this site will only let you upload pictures. We were terrified. Our driver then goes over to his friends house. It was a hut with several men out front that look like drug dealers. He then told these men to go get the person he got into an accident with and make her give them money. I have never been so scared this went on for over an hour. Our driver finally gets us to Rick’s at 4:33. I did enjoy Rick’s after many drinks to calm my nerves. I demand a refund for such a unprofessional driver and putting our life in danger

    Response from the operator: It took 2 hours to get to the Blue Hole Mineral from your resort. There was a mirror-to-mirror accident which you called and told me wasn't our driver's fault. No damage was done to either vehicle. The pool at the Mineral Spring is clear since it's a mineral pool. That water is special as it comes directly from the mineral spring. Please don't discriminate and call the hardworking young men drug dealers. They are lifeguards and tour guides. You had a wonderful day and called to book other tours. Why give the driver $70 usd in tip if you were NOT pleased? It was a pleasure serving you though and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    Our tour guide was awesome!

    Our tour guide Kevin was very professional and patient with us. We can be a bit slow-moving LOL. Kevin took us to the Blue Mineral Hole. We got to jump in and enjoy the cool water. There is a nearby hotel and bar. If you walk up to the top of the hotel where there is a wonderful photo op of the lush mountains. We then headed to Rick's Cafe in Negril. We went on Christmas day, so there weren't too many people there. My boyfriend was brave and jumped the cliff into the ocean. I sat down and enjoyed a beer and some food. My only regret was not knowing it took two hours to get to these destinations from our hotel in Montego Bay. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to do something out of the normal excursions in Montego Bay.

    Blue Hole Mineral Spring and Rick's Cafe: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.

    How much does Blue Hole Mineral Spring and Rick's Cafe cost?

    +

    Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Blue Hole Mineral Spring and Rick's Cafe take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montego Bay is not rushed.

    Is Blue Hole Mineral Spring and Rick's Cafe worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Blue Hole Mineral Spring and Rick's Cafe?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Blue Hole Mineral Spring and Rick's Cafe suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Blue Hole Mineral Spring and Rick's Cafe?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montego Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Blue Hole Mineral Spring and Rick's Cafe start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montego Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montego Bay?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montego Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Montego Bay Airport Transfer to Negril, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montego Bay?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montego Bay?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
