Negril & Seven Mile Beach: Parasailing Tour with Sunset Stop

Summary

Parasailing over Negril then sunset at Rick’s Café with local guide

You’ll ride through historic Lucea with a local guide sharing stories, relax or try parasailing above Negril’s Seven Mile Beach, then end at Rick’s Café for sunset and cliff-jumping energy. Expect music, sea air, and moments that linger long after you’ve left Jamaica.

What’s the experience like?

“You see that old clock tower? Locals say it never tells the right time, but it’s always part of the story,” our driver grinned as we rolled through Lucea. The buildings here are faded but proud, all Georgian lines and pastel paint peeling in the sun. I pressed my forehead to the window, catching snippets of patois from shopkeepers and the smell of fried fish drifting through the open van door. It was hotter than I expected — not suffocating, just that sticky Caribbean warmth that makes you slow down without meaning to.

I’d heard about Seven Mile Beach before — you know how people talk it up — but stepping onto that sand was different. It’s not just white; it’s almost soft enough to forget your shoes entirely. There was music somewhere, a DJ spinning reggae so loud you could feel it in your ribs, but somehow it didn’t drown out the sound of waves or kids laughing nearby. Our guide, Marlon, pointed out where parasailing started and said, “Don’t look down if you’re scared of heights.” Of course I looked down anyway. Up there, Negril just stretches forever — turquoise water below, boats like little toys. My hands were sweating on the harness (I’m not proud), but honestly? That view sticks with me.

Afterwards we wandered toward Rick’s Café while my hair still smelled like salt and sunscreen. People were already gathering for sunset — some locals chatting over Red Stripe bottles, others daring each other to jump off that crazy 30-foot cliff. I watched one guy hesitate for ages before finally leaping; everyone cheered like he’d won something big. The sky went orange and pink so fast I nearly missed it trying to get my phone out in time. Still think about that light sometimes when things feel gray back home.
