The 7 Bar & Rum Tours in Montego Bay That Earn Their Price

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.”

Your driver handles the long, scenic route, while local guides lead activities at YS Falls, Black River, Appleton Estate, or Pelican Bar. Expect 6 to 8 hours, plus separate admission fees.

“We really enjoyed the Black River Safari, and spent about an hour at YS Falls and enjoyed jumping and swimming in the falls.

“This was a fantastic experience and a must do whilst in Jamaica. The transportation process was smooth and our driver Cory was great. We boarded the catamaran quickly and they took us to a great spot for snorkelling - lots of coral and fish and the water was so blue. On the way to the snorkelling site we were provided with endless drinks and a nice buffet which had chicken and fruit etc. Once we finished the snorkelling we were taken to the famous Margaritaville, we enjoyed it here and they had great frozen margaritas. The highlight was definitely the way back, the DJ was FANTASTIC, there was lots of…”
