Jamaica is a geographically-diverse Caribbean country with everything you can possibly ask for in any tropical tourism from crystalline water to gardens for coral, from sandy beaches to banana grooves, from caves to lush mountains. On the island’s western tip, lies one of the world’s finest and longest natural beaches in the city of Negril. Here you will come across a strong local community dedicated to safeguarding the city’s treasured ecology. As a result, Negril remains a laid-back tourism destination perfect for excursions. Some of the best excursions are as follows:
- The 7-mile Beach Tour: as the name suggests, the tour takes you to wander and explore the city’s most famous 7-mile stretch of white sand beaches. You will start at either Grand Palladium or Montego Bay and take a ride with many stops along the scenic route of pristine coastline. Spend at least several hours to absorb all the beauty and experience all the adventures you can find. Be prepared for swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, or watersport activities. The trip continues with pleasant meal time as you listen to reggae background music. The tour takes at least seven hours, ending at sunset.
- Maroon Village Celebration: in case you don’t want to take the typical beach adventure in favor of the more cultural tourism, Maroon Village Celebration is a fine example of such. As soon as you leave hotel, you embark on a cultural journey to the Accompong Town Maroon Village. Singers, dancers, and drummers are gathering before they begin a march to Parade Grounds. Ceremonial foods comprised of mainly male black pigs and roosters are prepared in large cooking pit. The celebration takes place every January 6th to commemorate the time when Ashanti people occupied the village.
Private excursions are also available from various tour providers. In many cases, the providers even allow you to discuss ideas and draft itinerary.
