Super Terrific Experience! - Very pleased with the overall experience. I requested prior to the trip to have an area for our party group to be together but was not honored. That certainly didn't stop the "vibe". It started with our tour driver "Tony"! He was fun, lively and very engaging. He kept us entertained to and from our hotel. Once on the Catamaran....the entire crew and captain were incredible!! The captain kept us safe the DJ Michael kept us jumping and moving every second of the trip and the bartender kept up hydrated in one form or another!! The snorkeling experience was great and needless to say the visit to Rick's Cafe was incredible. The sunset sail was breathtaking. We will definitely do it again! Thank you Viator for an amazing and memorable experience!!!

Beautiful ocean catarmran sail and loved Rick's Cafe sunset - Best catamaran excursion we've ever done in the Carribean. A proper sail from Montego Bay to Negril. Saw flying fish as the boat hit those waves. Amazed by the crew, who took great care of us, with food, drinks and music. We didn't have the best snorkely weather that day, but still super fun. Rick's Cafe, is celebrating their 50th year, and did not disappoint. Lots of options for cliff jumping from very low to higher and then got to watch the divers do the super high jumps. Sunset at the end was spectacular. The night drive back to Montego Bay had some nice views and napping opportunities too. We will do this excursion again on our next visit!

Not a good overall experience! - We have booked excursions with Viator before when we travelled to Italy and had a flawless experience so we decided to do it again for Jamaica, reserved a booking 1 month in advance. Unfortunately the experience was less to be desired and left us unhappy to the point where we spent $100 USD for a private cab ride back to the hotel in Montego Bay. Our pick up time was 9:30am but was informed that it would be 10am, which is fine because we were informed early via text message by the operator at 7:10 am . The problem started when the pick up time came and went with no further communication. The bus finally arrived , half an hour to 45 minutes later starting the excursion with on a sour note. The bus driver tried to make up for it by driving fast to the point where I was extremely nauseous. One of the guest on board actually threw up at a stopping point. Then instead of arriving at the destination point (Margaretteville) to enjoy 7 mile beach , we were brought to a souvenir shop, which was not in our itinerary nor were we asked or informed of this side trip/hustle. At this point my husband and I were livid since the tour operator told us we would arrive at approximately 12pm to enjoy 7 mile beach. The bus driver then left us for an hour and a half to go pick up other guests and when we were eventually picked up and the destination point was literally 1 minute down the street. At this point it is now past 1:30pm , told to ENJOY 7 mile beach , and the Catamaran will be boarding at 2:15pm with a departure time of 2:30pm. So it gave us 45 minutes for the rat race to try and order food and maybe eat it , let alone ENJOY the beach. There were first time travellers to Jamaica on the bus and some celebrating their birthdays so I felt horrible for their experience. The rest of the excursion was good, but to potentially arrived back at our hotel at 9:30pm or 10pm and not the estimated 8pm was the tipper for my husband. This is my 8th trip to Jamaica and my husbands 5th trip so we have done numerous excursions and are not strangers to this beautiful island and its island time and have stayed everywhere on the Island too but this was extremely disappointing and may again just book with the hotel or a private company when in Jamaica.

Unfriendly staff, trying to sell things the whole time - Arrogant staff, just a Sales Trip Most of the time. Not a very nice experience. Stopped at a gift shop where people were very aggressively selling things.
