“There's not enough amazing things to say about this crew and the trip itself! We left from Margaritaville and from there it was non-stop music, shenanigan's and booze! I would call this the rated R version of the Booze Cruise Negril! Lol. So many enjoyed the snorkeling (I'm not a strong swimmer, so I didn't go), but the summary on the boat and at Rick's was amazing! We even got our picture taken ❤️”

Guides such as Washington, Garfield, Kevin, and Elvis have been praised for keeping the day organized. Expect a long road journey and wet boarding.

“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!”

5.Mystic Luminescent Lagoon Night Cruise & Swim in Jamaica

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 370 reviews · from $75

Travel from Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, or Negril to Falmouth for a nighttime boat ride on Jamaica’s Luminous Lagoon. A local guide explains the glowing organisms, and you can swim in the shallow water. Rum punch, hotel transfers, and a short fire or limbo show may be included.

“It took us almost 2h to get from the pick up point to the lagoon, because lots of the other guests where late and on the way there we stopped at a souvenir shop, which was very unnecessary. The lagoon itself was nice though, but the time there is very limited. It's a nice experience, but the long time to get there & back makes it very long trip for a short highlight. When you arrive at the restaurant from where the boats to the lagoon departs, it's very crowded. So you should keep in mind that there is a lot of people doing it and you can't really decide…”

“This excursion was booked for my birthday. Travis, our tour guide, was knowledgeable about this history of the island and you can tell her loves the island. It made the experience so much better to learn from him. We went from Montego Bay to Negril where Captain Andy took us out on his glass bottom boat. While we snorkeled he called ahead to order the food on the island for us. Which was delicious. We had time after to enjoy 7 mile beach before going to Rick's Cafe. Overall I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day.”
