Starting with Adventure: ATV Rides Through Rugged Terrain
We loved the rugged ATV adventure because it gets your adrenaline going while giving you a taste of Jamaica’s wild side. You’ll likely start your day with pickup from your accommodation or a designated meeting point, riding in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle through scenic routes to the ATV base. Here, guides will provide safety instructions and a quick briefing before you hit the trails.
Expect to traverse dirt paths, small hills, and maybe even some lush, untouched countryside. The tour is suitable for those with a moderate physical fitness level, meaning you should be comfortable on a motorized vehicle and able to handle a bit of rough terrain. We appreciated the chance to see Jamaica’s less-visited rural areas, which are often skipped when just lounging on the beach.
Relax at Seven Mile Beach
Next, you’ll spend about an hour at Seven Mile Beach, one of Jamaica’s most famous stretches of soft, golden sand. Here, the atmosphere is laid-back — perfect for soaking up the sun, swimming in the warm Caribbean Sea, or simply watching the world go by. The tour includes admission, so you can just relax and enjoy the scenery.
What we really enjoyed about this stop is the opportunity to unwind after the morning’s activity. The beach is long enough to find a quiet spot, but lively enough to hear the cheerful chatter of fellow travelers and locals. If you’re craving a bit more, there are plenty of beachfront bars and vendors selling local snacks or refreshing drinks.
Shopping at Times Square and Whitter Village
After some beach time, it’s time for a cultural dose with visits to Times Square Mall and Whitter Village Shopping Mall. These spots offer a lively mix of international brands and local boutiques, making them perfect for picking up souvenirs or simply browsing. We loved the vibrant atmosphere and the chance to see a variety of Jamaican crafts, clothing, and accessories.
These stops aren’t just about shopping — they’re about experiencing local Jamaican life and supporting small businesses. Shopkeepers are friendly, and the environment is cheerful. Expect about an hour at each mall, plenty of time to haggle a little if you’re inclined, and to pick up a memorable keepsake.
The Highlight: Catamaran Cruise to Rick’s Cafe
The final part of the tour is arguably the most iconic — a catamaran cruise culminating at Rick’s Cafe. You’ll set sail with fellow travelers, enjoying drinks and good vibes as you glide past Negril’s coastline. Once at Rick’s Cafe, you can watch or even participate in the famous cliff diving — a thrilling experience that many find both brave and breathtaking.
A key feature we appreciated is that the cruise offers snorkeling opportunities before heading to Rick’s Cafe for sunset views. As the sun dips, the cliff jumpers become silhouettes against the vibrant sky, making for a photographer’s dream.
