“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 ❤️”

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

Travel by air-conditioned bus from Ocho Rios to Negril, spend free time near Margaritaville and Seven Mile Beach, then board a catamaran for snorkeling, reef views, drinks, reggae, and sunset near Rick’s Cafe. 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!”
