Float down Great River on a bamboo raft, trade poles for a throttle on an ATV, then finish at Rick’s Café for sunset and cliff diving. This full-day Montego Bay tour pairs serene river time with off-road excitement and iconic Negril views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off on a narrow bamboo raft and the river takes the lead—current nudging you past mangroves while a guide poles you through slow bends. That gentle opening eases you into a day that pivots from calm to kinetic: a midday swap to throttles and dust as ATVs climb scrubby ridgelines, then a final descent to Negril’s cliffs where Rick’s Café crowds gather for the sunset and cliff-jumpers’ bravado.
