They did not reach out to is before arriving to the hotel but rudely texted us when they were outside and told us they were leaving us. They indeed left us and did not provide any information on how we could have gotten there so we missed the cruise. Awaiting refund.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 378 reviews · from $90

Ride an air-conditioned bus from Ocho Rios to Negril, enjoy free time at Margaritaville and Seven Mile Beach, then board a catamaran for snorkeling, reef and cave views, drinks, reggae, and sunset near Rick’s Cafe. Expect a long day, possible water boarding, and schedule changes.

“I gave 3 stars for a few reasons: 1. The company presented a pickup location different from my residing hotel which led to much confusion. 2. The itinerary doesn’t specify time frames for travel, margaritaville, catamaran and ricks cafe. 3. Didn’t really get the full ricks cafe experience as we were only there for 1 hr. However, the driver Elvis was super cool and made the overall experience ok. My friend was able to get the clear boat photo experience which was really nice. The catamaran crew was pleasant and fun!”

Felicia (bus tour guide and coordinator) was great! Catamaran ride was great and a lot of fun coming back. Dunns river is a bit of a tourist trap, so be ready for that. Overall a good time…wouldn’t recommend doing solo though.”
