I am bringing down my daughter and her friend..17 year old girls.. soon..looking for things for them to do..other then Rick's cafe..snorkeling..parasailing ect...been to Negril dozens of times but trying to think outside the box for something different..any ideas? Thanks!
If you can find some fresh Lobsters,
They can bring them to Mountain Man's Place on the beach
behind the Craft Market
and grill them over wood fire themselves.
He will teach them to be experts at it.
Also,
the local fish Market is there, they can watch as the fishermen bring in the catch.
(Buy your lobsters fresh off the boats)
See how the locals weigh and sell the fish.
Also,
the Craft Market is right there too.
Dozens of shops with wood carvings and all kinds of Crafts.
Mayfield Falls is good country drive to the falls. hit up a church service on Saturday. local football game. Hit up a respectable fisherman and go out early in da morning for some fishing. Maybe some volunteer work at a local church? TONs to do in Negril for teenagers!
Fish market sounds kind of cool..
Barney's Hummingbird Garden ?
Whats Barney's about?
Pub Crawl !!! - Pub Crawl !!!!
I would Slightly Stupid but I get too dang drunk on that bus..lol
It was about $17/pp last year, they talk about the different kinds of hummingbirds, and you can hand feed some of them with red painted baby liquor bottles filled with nectar.Quote:

I would take them to Ys Falls, the drive would give them a really nice look at the country side, and the Falls are great, with a zip line, etc....
Margaritaville, Calico Jack's, Blue Hole
I am pretty certain that I have seen you very dang drunk on the beach also!!! LOLQuote:

Mayfield falls does sound good ..never been there ..yeah Kuda..look who's talking..lol
come on man...........17????pay your security guy to look after them and set dem free for the afternnon
think about it...
They could go horseback riding on da beach or the water park or show them things to do on sites & let them decide. Sometimes less is better, depending where your staying they may want to just chill there , days are easy it's the night times that are hard to fill for the young , as we older folks go to bed early & rise early , you can just try to get them up early every am & keep them busy.
Both our children went to Negril as their high school senior trip with a small group of friends ................. no problem ................ they will find things to do .................. our kids had been there a few times before with us so they were kind of the tour guide ............... we did have a "information" meetings with the newbies and laid out a few ground rules ................... NO ganja cake, NO mushrooms, NO wandering off alone, NO rasta-tutes or rent-a-dreads ............. all came back home with only stories and memories ............ these days they ALL go back on a regular basis.
JDd has a great idea with paying one of the security guys to travel with them for a day to get used to the "runnings". Our kids were fortunate to already know our driver Leo, Dr. Bill on the beach, Niah Patterson on the Cliffs,etc......
Good info, I was wondering the same as I am bringing my 17 yr son and 15 yr daughter in March.
That is a lot of no's Captain Oil..lol..
Ahh, 17 year olds...Tuff one. Go up to the lighthouse, maybe be able to go up. From there spend the day on the cliffs and snorkel. Now just fill in the rest of the week and u got it made....lol. As far as Kuda and R&Rfarmer goes......I've never seen you dang drunk on the beach or cliffs ......well at least from what I can remember!!
They would probably enjoy Dolphin Cove.
My son ..who's been going ( since he was born ) ..17 years ago..
enjoyed a trip they made to the Blue Hole - Little Bay
Fargoman ............................ there could have been a whole lot more "no's" but they were all good kids from Wisconsin so they were already pretty experienced with drinking and other "recreational" activities ........... all they needed was a little heads up on the major pitfalls that are out there ................... actually when they returned all of them mentioned how grateful they were for the advise on island "runnings".
They dd it all .......... booked flights / hotels, arranged for the airport driver, exchanged money, went grocery shopping at the "China Man Store" in Hopewell on the way to Negril, arranged tours with local drivers to Pelican Bar, Appleton Rum tour, waterfall trip, blue hole trip, and on and on ..................... GREAT experience for young adults ! !
Snorkeling and parasailing for certain..my daughter claims she doesn't like alcohol..not quite buying that story..ha
Well Fargoman, she is your blood and the apple doesn't fall from the tree!!!
