Snorkeling in Jamaica: Poko Loko Floating Bar

Snorkel, then float the afternoon away on your own terms

Snorkeling in Jamaica centered on Poko Loko Floating Bar, a day-long activity combining a 20-minute reef snorkel with hours on a spacious deck. You arrive by hotel pickup, spend your morning in the water watching marine life, then settle into the afternoon with food, drinks and entertainment. A $40 voucher covers your pizza and beverages. Music and a laser light show round out the evening.

The experience

You get picked up from your hotel in Ocho Rios, Falmouth or Montego Bay and driven to the dock, where you board the ferry to Poko Loko Floating Bar. The snorkeling happens first: a 20-minute window in the water to see what lives on the reef, then back on deck. After that, the day is yours to pace: lounge on the spacious deck, order from the onboard pizzeria, use your $40 voucher toward food and drinks mixed by the bartenders, and soak in the ocean views. A complimentary Titos Lemonade or bottled water comes with your package.

As the afternoon stretches into evening, live music and entertainment keep the energy up. The laser light show and the adults-only Moon Light Vibes segment happen after dark, timed to the sunset. The ferry brings you back to your hotel when the day ends, so you don't need to arrange your own transport home.
