The experience

The tour opens at a traditional Jamaican herb farm where you sample local strains in the herbal forest before heading to Seven Mile Beach. There, the day splits: you can swim, try parasailing or take a glass-bottom boat tour, or stay on the sand with the bar and music. The beach sits between the farm and the next stop, so the timing is yours to set within the day's flow.

Rick's Café comes next, perched on the cliffs of Negril and known for cliff jumping and diving. You arrive for the sunset, the operator notes it's unmatched here, with a DJ, dancing, a full bar and a pool on site. Showers are available if you want to rinse off before the evening. The café draws diving enthusiasts from across the world, and the light at that hour is why the guide brings people here for photos.

Before Rick's, you stop at the Blue Hole, a mineral spring where you swim and eat lunch with snacks included. Local souvenirs are sold there. After the sunset at the café, the tour ends at the Negril Lighthouse, built in 1894 and standing 66 feet high with a view 100 feet out to sea. The drive between stops uses an air-conditioned vehicle, and a welcome drink (rum punch or water) arrives at the start. The whole day runs six hours with one guide and one driver, and the operator's relationships with the business owners mean the rates are locked in before you arrive.
