Negril Beach (Margaritaville) & Ricks Cafe Day Trip

Entertainment only

Rick cafe cool for the entertainment. The food was expensive and wasn’t good. If you want to dance, met people or jump off the cliff, then I’ll recommend going. It’s a 2 hour drive from Montego Bay as well.

Bad

Rick’s cafe is really for a fun and party vibes but when it came to the food and drinks it was definitely a 2/10. I wouldn’t go here to eat but it’s fun to work. I had an impatient staff and she was also rude so that made the experience bad. The driver was also disrespectful and rude.

A brilliant day out!

This was a an enjoyable day. Negril beach was stunning and Mark gave us the option of going to margaritaville or a less commercial and noisy beach club called Tree Tops. We chose the latter and it was the best choice for us. More low key .Rick's Cafe was raucous and fun.....just as you'd expect. Mark Williams is the owner of the tour company. He's extremely professional and personable and would recommend his services.

Awesome

The smooth ride to Negril! The beach (Scarface was a great host at the beach), Cliff Diving, Oxtails on the way back! Nick was a great driver and never left us. Every where we stopped, Nick was right there waiting when were ready.

Fun Day Trip

This excursion was very fun. Prior to flying to Jamaica we were a little unsure because of the travel advisory put in place for US travelers. However, we felt very safe during our trip and loved every minute of it. This day trip from Coral Springs to Negril was so much fun and we highly recommend it. The only downside was that we were not able to spend a lot of time at Rick's cafe, we were there for only an hour and a half at the most. I am not sure if it was because we had a long drive back to Coral Springs or because that is the max allowed time. Our driver Nick was very courteous, doesn't talk much, but friendly nonetheless. He took us a beach club called the Tree house, and I loved him for that. This place has the best and I mean THE BEST jerk sauce I had during our entire tripl. I seriously could not get enough of it. The food and drinks were great here. Rick's cafe is a must! It was such a gun environment and my friends got to jump off the cliffs like they wanted to. Overall, it was a really fun day trip, just wish the clouds had not been so thick and present so I could have gotten a better tan. LOL.

Driver Tour Guide Mark, Beach and Ricks Cafe , a lot of nice local stops along the way. Mark was a Very courteous - excellent guide and a great person all around ! One love !

Loved the Private Tour

Loved the private tour with our driver Mark. He was a great driver and gave us some history about Jamaica. He took us to a store to shop for souvenirs. I personally, did not like the owners of the store. Their items are overpriced and they make up taxes which is a ridiculous amount. They say half off, but it’s just so you think you are a getting a deal. I suggest this tour take people to locals to buy souvenirs. They would appreciate the business. I loved Margaritaville, the ability to have lunch or grab a drink while hanging out at the beach was nice. They charge $15 for umbrella which was reasonable. The water was warm and I loved it because there are so many activities you can indulge in. The stop at Rick’s Cafe was the highlight. The sunsetting, dinner overlooking the ocean with the entertainment was everything. Absolutely loved it!! We had the perfect seats, upstairs and we could see the cliff divers, the people on stage, boats, and most importantly, the sun setting. I would definitely recommend a private tour for a group of people. It was well worth it and I was glad Mark was our driver. I can’t say enough about this tour…..Take This Tour!!

Amazing Experience with Mark

It was an amazing experience! The 7 Miles Beach in Negril was beautiful! Lovely environment. Mark took us to a local spot in Negril to eat and the food was amazing. Rick’s Cafe was a chill vibe and had a beautiful sight to see. Mark was an amazing driver & host. We continued to use his services during our stay. We appreciated him!

Margaritaville and Rick’s Cafe

Nicholas was a Great driver. He made us feel safe while driving and in each spot. I definitely recommend. Margarataville had a Great vibe and jumping off the cliffs at Rick’s was Awesome!

Fun day with nick

Nick our tour guy was amazing from the time. He pick us up.. he told my husband happy birthday and made sure the whole day he felt special.. we stop at a store for gifts and we flooded in on our way back but he was so dope he made that fun. I will definitely book again and next time I’m there which will be march im asking for nick again

Good driver!

I thought this tour was amazing. Our driver, O'Brian, was amazing and educated us along the long drive about some of the landmarks and history of where we were. Unfortunately it was rainy for a good portion of that day so I couldn't enjoy Rick's Cafe like I wanted to. The driver was on time, drove safely, and was very enjoyable to talk to.

Great

Drivers are punctual, polite and informative about the island’s history. Booking with Viator is easy and convenient. They’re very responsive and prompt to messages.

Shemar was an amazing...

Shemar was an amazing guide and drive! We went parasailing at the Margaritaville beach, definitely a memorable experience!!!

The tour was great and...

The tour was great and Shamar was so friendly and professional. I really enjoyed talking to her during the ride, it make my ride quick. I would definitely recommend her service. The 7 miles beach was simply amazing, clear beach and white sand. Ricks caffe was a bit crowded so I would recommend to other travelers to go and visit in the morning.

Great trip to Negril

Our driver Mark was very knowledgeable about the Island. He showed us lots of things and stopped so we could take pictures. Mark was very nice and a good driver. He even stopped so we could get some KFC.

Negril Experience

I had an amazing experience with my driver Mark Williams. Mark was super knowledgeable, communicative and efficient during the ride to Negril. He made the trip more fun than I could have ever imagined. Book Mark as your driver you will not regret it.

Rick's is the sh#t

Fantastic views, excellent bar and food selection. Live entertainment and cliff diving..... Whats not to love.

Great!

This was a great day trip! The beach is absolutely beautiful! Rick's cafe is a very cool beach bar! I just wished we could've stayed longer to watch the sunset

Amazing private tour at the right price!

Our driver was Shamar. We had an amazing time on Seven Mile beach at Margaritaville and hanging out at Rick's Cafe. Coming from Montego Bay, I recommend a private tour to Negril. Shamar shared history of the island and various towns that we passed through as well as gave us helpful tips and advice for other locations/activities. Next time we are in Jamaica I would definitely contact Shamar

I loved the beach in...

I loved the beach in Nigril and our driver Shamar but the constant soliciting was too much. Also, the women that worked there has horrible attitudes. The bad out weighed the good!

Best Experience

Mark was our driver, he was amazing. We made a new friend in Jamaica. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, friendly. We had a great time with him.

Negril was beautiful! And...

Negril was beautiful! And the drinks and food were so good and reasonable priced I would definitely go back

Bryon is the Best Guide!

Bryon made this a great and safe time! He picked us up from our hotel on time and even stopped at a bar on the way to Negril ran by women. They helped introduced me to my new fav drink. He made sure to stop at the Negril sign and take photos of us. We were able to enjoy Margaritaville and Rick's Cafe. Each time, Bryon was always outside waiting for us when we were ready to go. On the way back to hotel, he made sure to stop and let us experience the Jamaican KFC! It was very catered and it was just my friend and I on this excursion. Overall, this was a great excursion and Bryon made sure we felt safe and got the most out of the trip. He even gave great history facts and helped us learn about the culture. I highly recommend!

Chill vibe experience

The vibe at the cafe is fun! My drink wasn’t so strong but the entertainment helped us have a good time. Watching everyone cliff dive was also a highlight! I, too, finally jumped the smaller cliff. We had Mark as a driver to and from our destination and we felt very attended to and protected.

Best Tour Guide/Taxi on the island

Mark and his family is by far the best Transportation service in Jamaica. He stayed with us the entire trip even when we left for the beach and ricks cafe. He made it pain free without a worry in the world. Highly recommend. He felt more like a friend than a driver. Much love to him! If you’re looking for great service and knowledge along the way Di Jamaican Flava is the best on the island!!!

Rick's Cafe....a must!

Awesome time with our tour guide Mark. Fun conversations, safe driving and made sure we had a great time

Gavin Tours Negril Jamaica

We found an Amazing Taxi tour driver. So reliable & honest. Such a great guy. Gavin Tours. Watsapp no 876-429-6548.

MUST DO!!

We enjoyed our tour to the fullest. Our driver Byron was Awesome. The tree house was nice, Tony Montana made sure we had everything we needed. Rocks Cafe was a whole vibe. Definitely worth every penny spent.

Like none other

Mark turned a good trip into an extraordinary one. My bestfriend and I originally met Mark as our driver on the excursion to visit nine mile (Bob Marley's home) but we gained much more than that on our trip. Mark stopped to teach us history and culture along every step of the way and even helped us navigate how to speak with and support locals as we traveled. We were so pleased that we booked Mark for an additional day as our driver for a visit to Rick's Cafe and Negril. Not only did he drive us but he made sure we felt safe and gave us an extra treat by showing us a tour of a local sugar plantation. It meant a lot to my friend and I that we were able to experience Jamaica as more than tourists and we couldn't have done so without Mark. The pride that he takes in what he does is inspiring to say the least, we now affectionately call him our Uncle Mark and can't wait to come to Jamaica and book with him again.

Shamar was an excellent...

Shamar was an excellent guide! Our drive from our resort (Excellence Oyster Bay) was an hour and a half but with the good conversation and history from Shamar it seemed like an half a hour. Great experience and lots of fun

Fun in the sun

Dexter our driver was great very friendly made us feel welcomed he was very patient and accommodating. Love margaritaville it was very fun and the beach was beautiful. Pick up was on time

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This was the 1st thing we did upon arriving in Jamaica and Mark was the absolute best! He's such a chill guy that it was like we were hanging with someone we've known forever. He's very knowledgeable so he made sure to give us information on every and any thing, from the areas we were in to the different parishes and their significances. Margaritaville was beautiful. I love the beach and Seven Mile Beach was actually the best beach we visited during our stay. Rick's Cafe was definitely a vibe. The music and people were all very entertaining. If you're bold enough (I am NOT), definitely do the dive into the water at Rick's. I highly recommend this for anyone visiting Jamaica whether its your first time or a return visit. Mark is the man so if you're looking for great positive energy on the trip, definitely request him. He's sure to guarantee you have an amazing time!!!

The Experience

The tour was very knowledgeable and my driver was outstanding would definitely recommend this tour. Margarittaville was great and lovely beachside view. Ricks was a great vibe

Pleasant

MUST BOOK !!! Best Tour GUided

If you come to JAMAICA you have to Book this service !!!!!!!!!!! I've been o many countries and have had many tour guided but I must say MARK has been the best tour guide/driver EVER. Mark was amazing. We booked Mark for a fun day to explore Montego Bay and his service was exceptional. He arrived on time and was patient as we were late due to having to take our COVID test. He was professional during the entire trip and accommodated us to some changes we requested. He took us Bamboo Rafting, Explore Montego Bay and Ricks Cafe. This was the highlight of our trip we listened to music, joked around, and had so much fun at the attractions he took us to. Big Shout out to Mark for making our trip AMAZING !!!

Great day!

Our experience was a blast! Our driver Shamar was perfect, very informative, on time, and professional in every since!

Great

I really enjoyed this and chemar was the best tour guide would definitely let people know about her. Very nice

Love love love SHAMAR

Great customer service!! She showed us a great time in Jamaica! She gave us such a great experience while we were there I will definitely be back!! Thanks you Shamar 🧡Shay

Best Driver

Our Driver was amazing!!! I hope she is able to read this. She picked us up on time. She showed us around, she stayed with us the entire time she made sure we had an amazing time and got to fully enjoy Margaritaville and Ricks Cafe! Hands down she made the experience that much more fun!!! Thank You for making our experience in Negril that much more memorable. All The way from Apopka Florida we appreciate You!

Amazing Times!

I wanted to find something fun to do outside of my resort on a Friday and my expectations were exceeded!! Mark was a perfect host! He was knowledgeable about the history and happenings throughout Montego Bay and Negril. Mark made sure that we were aware of our surroundings at all times and also made sure that we were safe. Anytime I travel to Jamaica I will be utilizing Mark's services! Thank you so much Mark for an amazing birthday celebration! You are the best!

Private tour

Chemar was excellent! Very friendly and knowledgeable about the island. She made our day great! I would recommend her service in the future

SHAMAR IS THE BEST!

This was the highlight of our trip! We saved this tour for our last day since it was a full day thing and let’s just say we truly saved the best for last. Which I kinda regret seeing as that I wish we had booked ALL of our tours through this company. Shamar was absolutely perfect from start to finish! She was so informative on our tour. I feel like we learned so much while having the time of our lives. We even learned some Patois! A tiny amount lol but still! We ate the some amazing food along the way. Oxtails included’ The drive was very scenic and beautiful and Shamar made sure to tell us all about the country’s culture and history. We made it to 7 mile beach first and had a blast in and out of the water. We ate, drank, participated in some water activities and enjoyed the warm ocean waters which felt amazing. 7 mile beach is TRULY beautiful. We then headed to Rick’s Cafe which surpasses our expectations. Shamar stayed close by to help us with anything we needed and she got the best angles for us when it came to taking pictures! Shamar made us feel so safe and so welcomed which was very important to us being that we were a small group traveling alone. By the end of this tour, Shamar felt more like family than anything else. We had such an amazing time, saying goodbye was hard. We’ve been telling everybody that has asked about our trip about Shamar and this company! I can’t wait to return! She’ll will be the first one we call!

Jamaica

Omg Sham was the best driver ever, she gave us the Jamaica experience of a life time. Her customer service was phenomenal. She took us to different stops and periodically check on us. She kept a friendly smile on her face the entire time and always made us feel safe. If your looking to book this is the best person to book with she knows Jamaica very well.

Very accommodating

We very much enjoyed our tour. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side and it was raining, however Mark did how best to accommodate. Upon pick up he offered us a full refund even though he had already came all the way to get us. With the rain the great beach I’ve experience and the sunset wasn’t going to happen, but he educated us on the culture on the way. Even stopped to get us authentic beef patties. Once we arrived to the beach we had drinks and viewed the beach for a while and headed to Rick’s. We learned more along the way. On the way home Mark went out of his way to try to find a place that carried a certain liquor we wanted as the it was very hard to get premium liquor anywhere. The store was closed but they opened it up for him. We enjoyed our tour and we definitely book him when we come back when it’s better weather.

Great time with Marc Jr

We thoroughly enjoyed our road trip with Marc. He was a wealth of information on local Jamaican way of life. He was always looking out for us while waiting patiently. If you have any questions about the Island, he will explain everything to you about it. Ricks Cafe was the highlight as watching the locals dive and flip making it appear effortless. Even though the rain came down heavy at the peak sunset viewing time; we all walked away with a unique experience to talk about for many years. Thank you Marc for an inside view on Jamaica and wonderful tour, we will book again next time we are here!

Highly recommended

Our guide Shamar was wonderful! She led us to many of the local sights and provided insight to the Jamaican culture and way of life. The tour was truly the highlight of our trip!

So Much Fun

Mark was our driver and he was such a delight. He took us to the right spot on the 7 mile beach where we enjoyed the beautiful water, and delicious food and drinks. He let us know the perfect time to leave so we could head to Ricks to watch the sunset. That was beautiful!!! We enjoyed more drinks served by Natalie along with their delicious food and picture perfect scenes.

Wow and Wow

So, my Jamaican experience did not start off right with my Resort BUT Mark and Mark Jr. turned my entire trip around. When I tell you this man LOVES what he does and he is very knowledgeable about the area. I have never met someone who truly loves what he does and has no complaints. He did not mind the last minute booking and he was so awesome, we booked him AGAIN! He showed us a great time, informed us of different things along the way, ensured we were good along the way and knew those roads like the back of his hand. IF ever in the area, BOOK WITH HIM, his son or his daughter and I assure you that you will not be disappointed. I am LITERALLY excited about my next trip to Jamaica because there were some things we did not get a chance to do that I can't wait for Mark to escort us to. Mark, you were a pleasure to be around and I pray god's blessing over you and your business for as many years as you plan to enjoy it... A true example of loving what you do and never actually feeling like it's work!!!

First Jamaica Visit

One of the best guides prob ever visiting a country! It’s one thing to have someone performing a job, but to have someone so charismatic and down to earth educating on the culture and different walks of life made this visit just that more meaningful! We’re definitely coming back contacting Mark and MJ! No need to contact the big squeaky bus tours! These guys are true professionals! #YeaMon
