Great trip! We had ample time for margaritas at Margaritaville and a long walk on Seven Mile Beach before boarding the catamaran. The crew was awesome and made sure everyone was having a great time. We didn’t see very many interesting things snorkeling, but had a blast anyway. And Rick’s Cafe was a total highlight - we both did the cliff jumping!
10/10

The boat was big and safe. The snorkeling was fun. They had life vest for the waist area and snorkel and fins. Rick Cafe was so fun. The dive was amazing. We got back at dark. Got to see a lightning storm in the distance. The bus was clean and air conditioned.
Fun
Angie_M, 07-11-2022
It was a beautiful and amazing experience. The snorkeling experience was not long enough. I no sooner got in the water than it it was time to get right back out.
Do this excursion!

Best day trip ever!!
This was so worth the not very expensive cost. We had been told to visit Rick's Cafe, so we made sure to book this excursion. We luckily got the adult only day, if you are going with no kids, I recommend this one!! It's a party!
The bus dropped us off at margaritaville on 7 mile Beach, just the other side of where we were staying. We got to swim and play for a while before the boat showed up. They have huge water trampolines and music blaring, drinks, etc. Super fun!
The boat took us out to some snorkeling which was a little rough, but great to see the unique fish. Then it was off to the Cafe.
The cliff jumping was so much fun! There are 3 levels to jump from, and it's a blast just to watch, but I highly recommend jumping as well. Even if just from the smallest jump. Then a couple of their divers did a show for us...oh my goodness! You can eat and drink while there if you like.
Back to the boat for a wild ride home and to see the sunset on the open water... beautiful!
Our bus ride home may have been the most fun bus ride I've ever taken... made some new friends who probably don't remember lol!
Highly, highly recommend.

It’s a full day moving around. We had a stop for “souvenir shopping” about 2 minutes before we arrived at Margaritaville which lasted a bit too long. Your only opportunity to eat is at Margaritaville and given the size of the groups there to go on these cruises you don’t have enough time (service is typically slow in my experience). Highly recommend eating right away.
Snorkeling was good (our family loves snorkeling). Again a lot of people in water at same time and generally just fish to see but there are plenty to see.
After snorkeling you head along Seven Mile Beach which is very pretty and different to Rick’s Cafe. Would have loved to have eaten there as menu looked good with fresh fish options but again sadly not enough time. Cliff jumping was fun to watch and do!
All in all a fun experience!

The cruise was very good. Only complaint is that is was a little over crowded and the person loading the boat from the beach was not nice
Didn’t meet up to the hype
leidy_R, 13-07-2022
The catamaran was nice and the snorkeling bf was amazing!!! Ricks Cafe is over rated, it’s basically a giant frat party and the people that work there aren’t really worried about serving you. Customer service is sub-par and definitely lacking. The food is over priced and average.
Overall we truly only enjoyed the snorkeling which was self led, no one explained how to use any equipment or even guided us off the boat. The music and entertainment were average as well. The crew was not animated or live. It was an overall okay experience.

Loooooong ride from MoBay, minimal snorkeling
Shauna_F, 11-12-2022
Part of this experience was an hour & 1/2+ bus ride there, and the same back (from Montego Bay), which they really did not explain. The driver printed out only one thing on the way there, stopped to let us take a picture by the Negril sign, and nothing on the way back.
They did not lay out the plan for the day, we had to drag information out of them... Once the bus dropped us off, we had to wait until the lady from the boat arrived with the bracelets to be able to receive our 10% off at Margaritaville. Margaritaville food was marginal at best.
They told us to be at the beach to get on the boat at a certain time, but we do not load until at least a half an hour later.
The rum included was rail and gut rot, of course.
Onr stop for snorkeling for a total of 30 minutes the sea was so choppy most of us did not get in, And they did not explain where to go to see anything either.
On the way to Rick's Cafe, they did print out quite a few things, which was nice. Most people took the glass bottom boat to get over to Rick's, where we only had 1 hour and you needed to have cash, no cards.
On the way back from Rick's to Margaritaville on the tag man, there was very inappropriate practically fornication going on between a few staff members and guests, this went way beyond regular bump and grind dancing; thankfully this was the adult's only cruise!
