6.Friday Evening Kingston Harbour Cruise, Sunday Beach Cruise or Charter Our Boats

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 232 reviews · from $75

Choose a three-hour Friday evening sail from Kingston’s Victoria Pier, with a DJ, city lights, food, and drinks, or a four-hour Sunday trip from Port Royal to Maiden Cay. The Sunday option adds lunch, music, swimming, and time on a small white-sand beach. It is a lively local-style boat outing, not a sightseeing tour.

“This was a fun experience. I think we went on a quiet night but all the guys who work the boat are very good for getting the party started and getting people on their feet. The DJs insisted on playing Jamaican music which was great. Food options could have been a bit more varied but there was plenty of food for everyone on board. This is not a touristy tour, it’s a party boat so not for those looking to see the sites. A fun, safe activity to do at night in Kingston.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 109 reviews · from $125

Travel from Montego Bay with a private driver such as Cornell or Devon in an air-conditioned vehicle with Wi-Fi, drinks, and local insight. Spend time on Seven Mile Beach, stop at Patsy’s Coffeeshop, and finish at Rick’s Cafe for cliff jumping and sunset views. The day usually lasts 6 to 10 hours.

“We had the best day with Cornell traveling to the west coast of Jamaica. We felt comfortable and safe all day under under Cornell's guidance. We loved the extra lunch treat of Office of Nature in Negril, a tiny restaurant and bar right on the beach. Getting to pick out a lobster and enjoy it with a red stripe was one of the highlights of our entire trip. While we spent the rest of our vacation at our resort, we believe seeing the small towns along the coast and seeing all the local sights and sounds of Negril was the best part of our trip. Thanks again, Fun Trips Jamaica…”
