Catamaran Cruise Full Day Tour- Reef, Rick's Cafe & Negril Beach

Not a good idea

Not a good tour for family. Many drunk american twerking all the time. Snorkelling was very short and didn’t get to see or stay at the beach. Very poor

A fun Jamaican adventure, with the BEST driver!!!

My husband and I enjoyed this excursion. We were picked up in a private van (this surprised us since we assumed it would be a group of people) and were transported from our hotel in Montego Bay to Negril. Our driver, Shawn, was FANTASTIC! We totally clicked with him. He was very down to earth and showed us some sights along the way. He stopped at the colorful NEGRIL sign and took pics for my husband and I. He then took us to a souvenir shop, which was great, and then to Margaritaville for lunch. (This expense was not part of the excursion). He made sure we got checked in with the tour company and then let us enjoy our lunch. We went down to the beach when we were told to in order to await the catamaran. Beware …. There are lots of people trying to sell you things by the beach - just say no if you don’t want anything. They were all nice. Then you have to wade out into the water (pretty deep) and hold your belongings up high so they don’t get wet. Good thing my husband is tall! Once on the boat, we drove over to the snorkeling area where you could snorkel if you wanted. Plenty of people snorkeled, but many did not. This is when the open bar is available. (No alcohol before snorkeling). That’s when the party started!!! My husband and I said it would have been amazing if we were in our 20’s/30’s, but we certainly enjoyed people watching. 😜🤣 Lots of partying and dancing!!!! But you’re not allowed to smoke on the boat. After snorkeling, it was on to Rick’s Cafe for about an hour or so. You have to get on a water taxi to get over the the doc. That was quite entertaining watching various people maneuver this, but the crew were amazing and helpful! At Rick’s you can just watch the entertainment, including watching people jump off the cliffs. I opted for the smaller cliff, while my husband just watched. We ordered a couple of drinks, and got ready to get back on the boat. When you get back on the boat, it’s just about time to watch the sun setting as you drive back to Margaritaville. It was gorgeous!!! Once we got back, our driver was just there waiting on us. He let us change out of our wet clothes, get situated, and headed back to Montego Bay. He even stopped at an ATM AND a roadside jerk chicken stand for us. All in all, it was good! A bit on the touristy side, but good. Definitely wear your swimsuit with a cover up or something, since you will literally be walking into the water before you even get on the boat. And bring a towel and a change of clothes for the ride back.

Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a memorable experience and that Shawn went above and beyond to make your day special. From the scenic stops and local recommendations to helping with your belongings and even stopping for jerk chicken, we're glad he made you feel well taken care of. We truly appreciate your helpful tips for future guests and hope to welcome you back to Jamaica soon! 🇯🇲⛵😊

One and done

Nice experience, overall. The staff were all VERY nice. Glad to have done it but absolutely one and done. Rick’s Cafe was nothing special. We didn’t see the spectacular sunset. 😉 This was my first time to Negril, specifically. Yea….I would not discourage anyone from this excursion but I wouldn’t do it a second time.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you had an overall nice experience and that our staff made such a positive impression with their friendly service. We're sorry the visit to Rick's Café and the sunset didn't quite meet your expectations. While weather and sunset visibility are beyond our control, we appreciate your honest comments and are pleased you would still recommend the excursion to others. Thank you for choosing Holiday Services, and we hope to welcome you back for another Jamaican adventure! 🇯🇲😊⛵
