The experience

The tour starts at Seven Mile Beach, where snorkeling is one of several water activities available on the sand. You can enter the water at your own pace, or stay on the beach near the open-air restaurants and bars. From there, the route takes you to the Negril Lighthouse, a cliffside landmark where you stop for photos, then through communities on the west side of the island so you see how locals live beyond the tourist strip.

Rick's Cafe is the final stop, positioned on the cliffs overlooking the water. The cafe is known for its cliff divers (locals and visitors who jump from the rocks into the clear water below), and for its sunsets. You watch both while the guide manages the timing so you're there as the light changes. Lunch and a cooler holding water, soda, and beer come with the booking, so you eat and drink without stopping elsewhere.

The tour runs four to six hours, which leaves the rest of your day open. A private vehicle picks you up from your hotel and drops you back, and the guide is English-speaking. A minimum of two people per booking applies. The minimum drinking age for alcohol is 18.
