Jamaica · SNORKELING TOURS IN NEGRIL
A Jamaican week runs out of free mornings fast. These 11 snorkelling tours in Negril are worth one of them, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes.
Board the yellow Lucky Duck in Negril for a 2.5-hour boat outing with Captain Jason and Junior. Look through the glass bottom, snorkel Med Reef for about an hour, then spend another hour on Booby Cay, where fresh lobster and fish are sold separately.
“Captain and second mate very knowledgeable and entertaining! Made first time snorkelers comfortable!”
Join Captain Jace Allen and his crew from Negril Seven Mile Beach for reef snorkeling, a sunken cannon, and a beach lunch on Booby Cay. Expect about four hours on the water, with lobster or a seasonal substitute, jerk chicken, drinks, music, and a return cruise along the beach.
“We had a fantastic time with the whole crew. They communicated with us right up to the pick up and showed up at the resort on the boat right on time. We went with a smaller group - it was just us (a couple) and a couple of girl friends. EverRead more”
Meet near Margaritaville Negril at 9 a.m. for a two-and-a-half-hour boat trip with snorkeling, reef viewing, and time on Booby Cay. Captains Jason, Kevin, Roger, and Mark have led departures, with gear provided and optional grilled lobster or fish sold on the island.
“Jason and Mark were awesome and very professional! Safety was a priority for us and we appreciated that! The food on the island was delicious and definitely Jamaican style!”
Join Captain Jace Allen’s crew from Negril Seven Mile Beach for a two-hour snorkeling trip to coral reefs, a sunken cannon, an anchor, and a shipwreck. Expect beach pickup, reggae music, sea-life lessons, and a small-group setting capped at 25 people.
“A fantastic experience that we 10/10 recommend! Pickup was easy, straight from the beach in front of our resort, and our guide was funny, friendly, and extremely knowledgable in the water. We saw starfish, urchin, conch, and so many fish and coral. Definitely the highlight of our trip. Can’t wait to be back!”
Spend about four hours sailing Negril’s coast on an adults-only catamaran with reggae music, unlimited drinks, light snacks, snorkeling at Sandy Cove Reef, beach time near Margaritaville, and a sunset stop at Rick’s Café. Hotel transfers are included from most Negril resorts.
“At the beginning, it was okay. However, if they know rain is in the forecast, they should cancel. We didn't get to go to Rick's Cafe, and there was a lot of confusion at the end. A lady was hit in the back of the head about a seat on the bus. It was ridiculous. I wish they would have provided an opportunity to do this tour again.”
Join Captain Jace and crew aboard the Dreamcatcher II for reef and cave snorkelling, a glass-bottom boat ride, open drinks, music, and sunset time at Rick’s Cafe. You can stay aboard, have a drink, watch cliff jumpers, or take the plunge yourself.
“Fun glass bottom boat. Crew friendly and helpful Snorkeling was good. Several different species small fish and starfish etc Cliff diving at Ricks fun Music just a tad loud but overall great day”

“Amazing time! The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will recommend this excursion to anyone. 5 stars”
From Negril, cruise with M&M Glass Bottom Boat Tours to Booby Cay for one hour of snorkeling, then enjoy grilled lobster, jerk chicken, rice and peas, and unlimited drinks on the beach. Expect a relaxed Jamaican outing with a casual, sometimes loosely organized pace.
“The tour was overall a cool experience. The guides were really chill and had great music playing throughout the day, which we loved. Snorkeling with the captain was fun, and the food on Booby Island was actually really good. That said, the day felt a bit unstructured at times—there were a few moments where we weren’t sure what was happening or what we were supposed to do. Still, it was a nice, laid-back trip, and a really kind gesture at the end: the captain’s brother drove us back to our hotel for free.”
Pick a river, a reef, a cliff or a rum still.
