Jamaica · SNORKELING
The reef starts a few hundred metres off the north coast and the water is warm enough to stay in for hours. These 12 are compared on the sites they reach, the gear they hand out and how many people share the boat.

“Tons of food on boat. Chicken tenders, chips and salsa, fruit. Workers were nice and a vibe. Snorkeling was fun and plenty of time to enjoy. Margaritaville if you want to purchase. Close to resorts in Montego Bay”
Sail to Dunn’s River Falls from Ocho Rios or Montego Bay for reef snorkeling, a waterfall climb, lunch, rum punch, and Jamaican music.
“Tour guide picked us up on time. Keep in mind the tour time is not the pick up time (pick up time is much earlier if you are starting from Montego Bay). Felicia (bus tour guide and coordinator) was great! Catamaran ride was great and a lot of fun coming back. Dunns river is a bit of a tourist trap, so be ready for that. Overall a good time…wouldn’t recommend doing solo though.”

“The best thing about our experience was the tour leader, Lisa! She was absolutely the best!! She really seemed to enjoy her job and was extremely professional yet down to earth. You could hear the love she has for her country in everything she talked about. We enjoyed all aspects of the tour but wished the snorkeling could have been longer. Our boat crew were patient and helpful in teaching my family how to snorkel. The lobster was also banging! We would definitely recommend this experience!”

“Fabulous trip. I, as a non-swimmer, had the time of my life. Capt Tippy literally swam with me on his back so I could experience the coral, sea life, cannon, and pirate ship anchor. Lunch on Booby Island was incredibly delicious... More than anything could eat. So nice... So accommodating. GREAT EXPERIENCE!”
Review of Negril’s glass bottom boat, reef snorkeling, and Booby Cay trip, with honest notes on guides, food, timing, price, and value.
“The boat ride was a great experience. We were picked up from our resort in the bay, and surprisingly, it was just us two and the captain along for the tour. The captain, Jason, was a cool guy, a great guide, and he played music along the ride. The snorkeling experience was amazing. We got to see dozens of species of fish, corals, and even a sunken anchor and canon. The Booby Cay island was also great. They catch spiny lobster (not American or European lobster) and king crab, let you pick which you want and cook it for you for about $40.”

“The crew were amazing. My son was really struggling with fear over snorkeling and they were so great cheering him up. They were so much fun and we felt very well taken care of”

“From start to finish, this was a wonderful excursion! Our driver Wayne was so communicative and warm and friendly during the drive! He also chose an amazing local stop for us to have lunch, which we loved! The crew at the snorkeling location was also friendly and extremely helpful. Our guide while snorkeling showed us lots of cool underwater life! We would absolutely use this company again!”
