Reggae Catamaran and Snorkeling Open Bar Cruise Montego Bay

1.Reggae Catamaran and Snorkeling Open Bar Cruise Montego Bay

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 453 reviews · from $125Our pick

Cruise Jamaica’s north coast from Montego Bay, snorkel near Doctor’s Cave Beach, then enjoy reggae, a DJ, Jamaican-style snacks, and an open bar. Hotel pickup is offered, but this is a lively party boat rather than a quiet sightseeing cruise. Bring sunscreen, a towel, and a change of clothes.

“The cruise is full of fun. The driver who picked us up from the hotel is extremely patient and friendly. There are a few guests who came out of their hotel room late, he spent extra time waiting for them and make sure everyone get on the cruise.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 99 reviews · from $125

Set sail from Montego Bay around 3 pm for roughly three hours of reggae, dancing, an open bar, light snacks, and sunset views along Jamaica’s north coast. Select hotels offer round-trip pickup. This adults-only cruise can feel relaxed or turn into a lively party, depending on the crowd and weather.

“First of all Viator was not my booking method of preference; however, my clients were unable to book directly through Island Routes so here we are. All 19 booked but not all 19 had Viator accounts, when directed to set up an account to finish their booking they were redirected to Viator's mobile account and therefore removed from my Travel Agent Link so out of 19 bookings my agency was only credited with 10 and they refuse to acknowledge the other 9 even though I have given them all names, booking numbers and we were all picked up from the same location at the same time on the same date…”

Next we went to Luminous Lagoon - so amazing, I would go back in a heartbeat. Take your water shoes, the bottom is silty and feels like you are standing in peanut butter. Our last stop was Rose Hall.
