Fun - The tour guides was super energetic & full of dance moves , the complimentary drinks were flowing and non stop . We stopped to Rick’s cafe , and my boyfriend was able to jump off the cliff at Rick’s cafe ,the stop was an hour long . And we got back on the catamaran. Please expect when docking to have to get wet due the fact you have to go through the water to get on the boat .

A TIME WAS HAD - Everything was spectacular, to our driver to the employees on the catamaran. My friends and I had a BLAST! The best tour ever and so worth your money. The crew on the catamaran were exceptional and made us feel so safe yet we had so much fun on and off the boat. When we got to ricks they didn’t leave us and made sure we were being taken care of and especially not left behind. 10/10 definitely recommend

Must do in Jamaica - Wonderful trip, catamaran crew is very interactive and fun. Catamaran is clean and safe. Stops at iconic margaritaville and Ricks Cafe are icing on the cake. Our only was the pick up time, which was a TripAdvisor error not the Holiday team.

Tui catamaran tour to ricks cafe - great day out - Booked a tour with Tui to go to Ricks cafe in Negril. Brilliant day out and worth the money. Picked up at 11am stopped on the way for photos at the Negril sign. Went to a beach stop called Jamwest (company they use for the catamaran)lovely beach and bar. We had over 2hrs here. This is why it lost one mark. We only got an hour at Ricks cafe. Would prefer longer there than the beach. The staff and captain that took us were fabulous. We did snorkelling in caves on the way. Brilliant!! And they helped non swimmers and looked after them. This is a great day out. Highly recommend. Ricks cafe is lively and serves good food and drinks. Watched the people diving off the cliffs.

Great tour but long ride - Great tour that is very fun! The only issue is transportation. We were picked up in Ochi Rios so the bus stopped a million times for pick ups at other hotels coming and going and we had to change buses. I’d suggest booking your own transportation to Montego Bay at the last hotel they pick up at or at the airport. Otherwise plan 4.5 hours coming and going.

DO NOT BOOK - One of the WORSE I’ve experienced - No stars would be a better rating for this waste of time and money “tour”. My group was picked up at 9 AM in the morning only to sit at Margaritaville and be pressured into buying crappy drinks and terrible food until 230pm when the catamaran finally came. There was no reason to pick us up this early when the catamaran didn’t arrive until much much later we sat for over three hours waiting and once we finally got on the catamaran, we rode around listening to extremely loud music with bad speaker and a weak hype man yelling into the mic every 10 minutes. Then we did about 20 minutes of snorkeling, Drove past Rick’s café and came back to Margaritaville. There was no tour, there was no time enjoyed in Negril, there was no information provided about the culture or background of Nergril. We did absolutely nothing but waste an entire day of our vacation to be taken to a crappy money grabbing outpost to purchase crappy food and china made souvenirs. We are staying at an all inclusive hotel. Why would we want to buy non authentic Jamaican food? Why would we want to hang out all day in uncomfortable chairs waiting for hours? They eventually drove us over to Ricks cafe where we spent an 1.5 hours waiting on sugary drinks and frozen burger patties. Yet again more crappy food, crappy drinks and a waste of our time. We god back to our hotel at 930pm so a full day was completely wasted. DO NOT BOOK, save yourself.
