Morning Serenity: Bamboo Rafting on the Great River
As the sun peeks over the horizon, casting a golden hue across Negril, it’s the perfect time to embark on a tranquil bamboo rafting journey.

As you drift downstream, your local guide will share insights about the lush ecosystem surrounding you. The gentle sway of the bamboo raft, coupled with the soothing sounds of nature, creates a meditative atmosphere. The high humidity and warm temperatures, feeling like 80.6°F, add to the tropical ambiance, making it a quintessential Jamaican experience. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen, as the UV index is moderate, and be prepared for potential rain showers that might add a refreshing twist to your adventure.
Afternoon Thrills: ATV Adventure and More

The ATV Tour kicks off in the afternoon, offering a high-energy ride through rugged trails and off-road landscapes. Available from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, this adventure is perfect for those seeking excitement and exploration.
Feel the rush as you navigate through jungle paths and scenic routes, uncovering the rich landscape of Jamaica. The moderate wind speed, with gusts reaching up to 19 mph, adds an exhilarating element to your ride. As you zoom past rustic villages and lush citrus plantations, you’ll get a glimpse of Jamaica’s native flora and fauna. This thrilling experience is a stark contrast to the morning’s calm, providing a well-rounded day of adventure.
Evening Vibes: Sunset at Rick’s Café
As the day winds down, head over to the iconic Rick’s Café, a must-visit spot in Negril. Known for its stunning sunset views and vibrant atmosphere, Rick’s Café is the perfect place to cap off your day. Arrive early to secure a good spot and enjoy the lively music scene and social energy.
If you’re feeling adventurous, consider trying the famous cliff jumping into the crystal-clear waters below. The nearly full moon, at 98%, will illuminate the evening sky, adding a magical touch to the experience. As you sip on a refreshing drink, watch the local cliff divers take the plunge from a vertigo-inducing height of 35 feet. The café’s restaurant and bar offer a variety of options to satisfy your taste buds, making it a delightful end to your pre-holiday relaxation and adventure in Negril.
Review (Reviewed on 2023-08-08): Must do these combo tours - Omg. It is hard to choose just one of these tours. My day was amazing from start to finish. Book with Fresh Look Tours and use Joseph as the driver. He was amazing.
