Float in a clear kayak over shimmering Caribbean flats as a pro drone captures your photos, then finish at Rick’s Cafe for cliff-side sunsets and live music. This combined beach-and-cliff experience is low-effort but high-photo-value.

History
Negril’s tourism boom began in the 1960s and 1970s; Rick’s Cafe opened on the west-end cliffs in that era and helped cement the area’s reputation for sunsets and cliff diving.
Conservation
Coral reef health is vital here—use reef-safe sunscreen, avoid standing on corals, and support local beach-cleanup efforts to protect the shallow flats that make the clear-kayak photos possible.

Book the photo package in advance

Wear reef shoes

Protect electronics
Use a waterproof phone case or dry bag; drone footage will capture you, but your own devices need protection from spray and sand.
