~ Sailing ~
  • Tip Rating:
  • A sailing trip is a must in Jamaica just to go out to sea and see those beautiful clear waters around you is something you must do.

    I enjoyed going sailing whilst chatting away with my Auntie and enjoying the sunshine. Its really relaxing after a long day. Sailing was free at the Starfish Trelawny hotel in Falmouth but if your not with an all inclusive hotel it only costs around 10 US Dollars per person.

    A life jacket is a must, you should be provided with one for your safety. Also its best to wear swimwear as you do get splashed by the water.

    Snorkeling
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Montego Bay area offers a reef system right off the coast. In most areas within reach to swim from the beach. Although the reef system itself is not very colorful, it hosts a wide variety of tropical fishes.

    Bring your own or rent from any beach.

    Free Snorkeling from Resort
  • Tip Rating:
  • All of the Sandals Resorts provide free water sports. This is the Glass Bottom boat to take Sandals Montego Bay guests out snorkling two times a day. You can just go along for the boat ride if you like, and it is free, but you must make a reservation to go at the hotel courtesy desk. We never saw the boat full during our stay.

    You have to wear a life jacket, flippers and no skin products, or jewelry.
    No pregnant ladies allowed, too dangerous for baby. Dolphins can sense pregnancy.

    They have everything you need there, but take a towel and a change of clothes for the ride back to your resort.

    Night Diving
  • Tip Rating:
  • Negril offers some of the best diving in Jamaica, thanks to the coral reefs and limestone cliffs that abound throughout the area. These formations provide a watery home for a wide assortment of tropical fish, exotic winged stingrays, eels, dolphins, and occasionally, large lumbering turtles. A time when the water and night sky merge, a time of intense colors caught in the beam of light one casts over the previously known but now eerie landscape, a time when the delicate plants wave and undulate to their own underwater reggae beat, a time when the exotic underwater world lures you to experience new discoveries and joy.

    Water Sport, Swimming
  • Tip Rating:
  • Here is the swimming pool at Sandals Inn Montego Bay. Very clean. It was never 'too crowded' during our stay. The hot tub/spa is the round end of the pool.
