Mostly positive with a few small gripes...GREAT DRIVER.
**Overall the experience was pretty good. Of course, nothing is perfect but for every disappointment, the driver, Kemar made up for it with his positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond. **Pickup was a little confusing. We waited inside the cruise terminal building for a while because we got off the ship too early, The cruise line I was on, Margaritaville at Sea, kept on EST and Jamaica did not change their clocks for DST, so they were on EDT, an hour back. So we got off the ship at 0830 ship time, which was 0730 Jamaica time and then we waited around for over an hour. That was our fault, not Kemar's. Then, only certain tour operators can go inside the gate to the terminal building, so we walked out of the terminal to the road to meet Kemar. All that was fine. **A short 10 min ride later and we were at the snorkel place. They fitted us for fins and helped us get in the boat. We shared the boat ride with one other group of 2 ladies from our same cruise ship, though they came with a different driver. We cruised over to the reef and snorkeled for quite a while. One of the guys got in water with us to help us find interesting marine life. **After coming back from snorkeling, Kemar took us to Margaritaville on the HipStrip. Unfortunately, the store portion was closed for renovation, and what i really wanted was a Margaritaville Montego Bay Tee Shirt. When Kemar heard the store in the Airport was open, he did not hesitate to drive 20 minutes to the airport to help me get my Tee. Sadly, the store was at the gate and I could not access it without a ticket to fly. **Kemar offered to take us somewhere to eat and i found an authentic local Jamaican place in the city (which i had been warned may be unsafe). Kemar again assured me that we would be fine and he wouldn't let anything happen to us, so off we went. He found the place and parked right in front (half blocking the sidewalk) so that we would feel safe, He even went with us to ensure the lady gave us the right exchange rate. After we got our food to go, we took it back to the cruise terminal and ate it there before getting back on the ship. **Pros: Kemar was 100% down to do whatever it took to make my experience satisfactory. Also, the snorkeling was top notch. Only my SCUBA experience in Cozumel was better. **Cons: The price was a bit steep for what you got. Overall though, the individual attention we got from Kemar as our private driver made it feel worth it. The only other con is that it would be better if he could drive inside the fence at the cruise ship terminal to pick us up.

Must Go to Tour!!!
Excellent adventure tour and excellent driver. My first time coming to chukka adventure tour was amazing. The staffing were very friendly, helpful and professional. They made sure I left out of the tour satisfied. My driver Kemar is the highlight of this review. He made sure I got to my tours on time. He even was even nice enough to take me to get something to eat on my way back to my hotel. If anyone is looking for a good driver, request Kemar. He's friendly vibe has made my Saturday awesome.....Thank you Kemar.
Response from the operator: You are welcome and thank you for the review.

Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 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 Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay?
+
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 Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay?
+
Around 1 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay 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 Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Montego Bay Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot & Video. 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.
What is included in Snorkeling with Boat ride & Margaritaville Hip-Strip Montego Bay?
