Imagine standing on a pristine white sand beach in Montego Bay, feeling the warm Caribbean sun on your skin, and hearing the lively hum of excitement around you. For just $60 per person, this tour offers an action-packed blend of adventure, scenic views, and local flavor. Led by friendly guides, you’ll start with a guided jet ski ride that teaches even beginners how to navigate the waters, then soar more than 330 feet above the ocean during a thrilling parasailing flight. Afterward, you’ll hop onto a jet ski to explore the bay’s shimmering waves, and finish your day with a visit to Margaritaville on the lively Hip Strip—Montego Bay’s entertainment hub.
What we love most about this tour is the combination of adventure and local culture. The guided instruction ensures safety for first-timers, so even if you’re new to water sports, you’ll gain confidence quickly.

A second highlight is the opportunity to hang out at Margaritaville, where the vibrant atmosphere, lively music, and fun shops create a relaxed, authentic Jamaican vibe.
One thing to consider is that lunch isn’t included, so you’ll want to bring some snacks or plan to eat afterward. Also, since weather can influence the experience, cancellations due to poor conditions are possible, but you’ll be offered a full refund or alternative date.

While in Montego Bay, here are other experiences we've covered
Starting Point: Tropical Bliss Beach
Your day begins on the soft sands of Tropical Bliss Beach, where the atmosphere is as inviting as the clear waters that lap the shore. Here, your guide—who could be Mike or another local expert—will give a quick safety briefing and demonstration on how to operate your jet ski. If you’ve never steered a personal watercraft before, don’t worry. The guides are patient and thorough, ensuring you feel confident before hitting the water.
The guided tour of the ocean is a highlight. We loved the way the instructor took the time to explain maneuvering, which is especially helpful for beginners. After a test run, you’re free to ride solo for 30 minutes, zipping across the waves at your own pace. The refreshing ocean spray, the sight of distant mountains, and the rhythmic sound of waves make this an exhilarating yet relaxing experience.
Parasailing: Soaring Over Montego Bay
Next up is the parasailing adventure. You’ll don a harness and get strapped in for a 15-minute flight above the Caribbean waters, soaring to more than 330 feet (100 meters). This part of the tour is the real showstopper, offering panoramic views of Montego Bay’s coastline, the shimmering bay, and distant lush hills.
The sensation of floating effortlessly in the sky is unlike anything else. We appreciated the safety measures in place, and the staff’s professionalism helped us enjoy the experience without worry. The view was breathtaking—an aerial postcard, with crystal-clear waters stretching in every direction.
Jet Ski Exploration
After your flight, you’ll return to the beach to find your jet skis waiting. The 30-minute session provides ample opportunity to explore the bay, weaving in and out of waves, and getting a refreshing dose of adrenaline. The freedom to zoom over the water and take in the scenery from a different angle makes this a memorable part of the tour.
We loved the way this portion allowed for personal exploration, with the guidance having already set the tone—it feels safe, but with enough independence to make it exciting. Plus, the ocean views from a jet ski are a great way to appreciate the natural beauty of Jamaica.
Visiting Margaritaville on the Hip Strip
The final stop is the famous Margaritaville, located on the lively Gloucester Avenue, known as the Hip Strip. This area is the heart of Montego Bay’s entertainment scene, packed with shops, bars, and restaurants. Here, you can browse local souvenirs, listen to reggae beats, or simply soak up the relaxed, party-friendly atmosphere.
Margaritaville offers a casual lunch or drinks (though meals are not included in the tour), making it the perfect spot to unwind after your adventures. The energetic vibe and the colorful street scene provide a genuine Jamaican flavor without the tourist trappings.
