The experience
The driver picks you up from your hotel, villa or cruise ship in Montego Bay and confirms your identity before setting off. On the drive to Negril, your guide points out Jamaica's fruit trees in season, the landscape, colonial architecture and historical sites. Before reaching Seven Mile Beach, you stop in the historic town of Lucea to visit Fort Charlotte, a colonial fort built to protect the harbor from pirates. You can photograph the coastal views and learn how the fort shaped Jamaica's early history. On the way, there's a quick stop for a Jamaican patty, the island's most popular snack: a flaky pastry filled with seasoned beef, chicken or vegetable.
At Seven Mile Beach in Negril, you spend two to three hours swimming in the warm Caribbean Sea, walking the powdery white sand, or simply relaxing under the tropical sun. The tour typically uses Tree House Restaurant as a base, where you can order lunch from a menu of authentic Jamaican dishes (jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtail, fresh fish), or American-style options. Optional water sports are available for separate purchase: parasailing, snorkeling, glass-bottom boat rides, tubing, banana boat rides and scuba diving.
After the beach, you head to Rick's Café, one of Jamaica's most famous sunset spots. Watch cliff divers leap into the Caribbean Sea, listen to live music, and take in the sunset over the water. If you want dinner, Rick's Café serves jerk chicken, jerk shrimp, seafood pasta, burgers, wraps and fresh salads. Once the sun sets, the driver takes you back to Montego Bay. The return trip takes place after the sunset, so the day ends on that moment rather than rushing away from it.
