Montego Bay Day Trip from Negril

While you’re in Negril, don't miss the chance to visit another Jamaican city on this day trip to Montego Bay. You’ll start off with a scenic drive along Jamaica’s northern coast, followed by a city tour to see Montego Bay’s historical highlights. Shop for unique souvenirs to take home at a local crafts market and enjoy views of paradise from the Richmond Hill Hotel. Stop by Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville for an optional lunch, where you can purchase a cheeseburger and then throw yourself down a waterslide — straight into the Caribbean Sea!

After pickup from your Negril hotel, your day trip starts with the 50-mile (80-km) drive along Jamaica’s northern coast to Montego Bay. Sit back and enjoy the views until you arrive in Montego Bay, where you’ll spend the next three hours.

See the city’s highlights, from the Civic Center to old cannons to a former jail cell that’s now a souvenir shop. Visit the site where national hero Samuel Sharpe, a leader of the slave revolt, was hanged in the 1830s, and check out the Richmond Hill Hotel for panoramic views of Montego Bay — a great photo opportunity!

Then have some time to shop, if you wish, at a local crafts market. You’ll also have the chance to go to one of the most popular restaurants and hang-out places in town — Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville. Located on Montego Bay’s ‘Hip Strip,’ Margaritaville is a family-friendly beachside cafe, bar and mini-waterpark.

Perhaps have lunch here, sip on a frothy drink, relax in the sun, or plunge down the 120-foot (37-meter) waterslide from the rooftop terrace into the Caribbean Sea. Two water trampolines and a floating deck are also available. (All food and drinks are at your own expense; use of the water amenities is complimentary for guests who purchase food or drinks.) Or, if you'd prefer, you're free to explore the area on your own and meet your guide later on.
