Does anyone know of any budget friendly tours or other fun things fun things to do while in negril?
even though this is my 3rd trip, i've never done a single tour and i want this trip to be different, mostly because i promised my travel buddy that we would do more than sit on the beach for 7 days (which is something i'm fine with)..
also any restaurant ideas? he came up with the idea of not eating at the same restaurant more than once.
You may want to combine several things in one day...its makes for a long day BUT you do and see a lot on one transportation cost....Clive has a decent price on the Appleton Rum factory, YS falls and Black River combo.
You can also visit Roaring River hook up with Dr Scott (i have his number if you need it) since it's so close you shouldn't pay much for transportation
also Royal Palm Reserve is close by and makes a nice afternoon outing
If all else fails just swing by the lighthouse, drop by the hammock park on the far west end, stop by the bar across from Catcha Gardens (the one on the edge of the sea)....then stop by Rick's
Eating.....sooo many choices
Ivan's
Kuyaba
Cool Spot
Sips n Bits
3 Dives
De Bar
Just Natural
Cosmos's
Jerk from a Barrel
Ossie's
Fattie's
Moma Flo's
Rayon (best banana pancakes)
Sunbeach
LTU
Push Cart
Juicy J's
Pilot's Cafe
If I could pick a single tour only, it would be either YS Falls or Mayfield falls (probably Mayfield Falls). Both are spectacular experiences for unique reasons which I won't go into here. Search previous threads as there are great discussions on these trips. Also plenty, plenty, plenty of existing GREAT threads on restaurants.
PM me and I'll email you a spreadsheet I put together.
Head out to half moon. It's a beach also in it's own cove with a restaurant and bar. Great guy runs the place and has two great dogs if you are an animal person. No higglers here either. It's about 15 minutes from 7 mile.
I can't speak from experience as I'm just nearing my first trip to Negril but Peter Tosh's Crypt, from what I understand. is not too far from the west end. The entrance cost is only a few bucks and I doubt transportation costs would be all that much since it's not far. It doesn't seem like there's much to do there but if your a Tosh fan, it something to do that won't take up a whole day and at little cost. Maybe someone else can add some information. I haven't seen or read much about this and I'm not sure why.
Mayfield Falls.........close to Negril and only $10US to get in........
ask around for drivers........ or check out the package tours that will take you there.......
another idea if you guys are good scooter people.......
rent one for the day for $25 and go up into Orange Hill etc

Isn't Peter Tosh's crypt near Belmont? That's about a 45 minute drive from Negril, right?
I believe that is correct but I can't seem to be able to confirm that right now. There's so little information on the net about it. That's why I've given up and will ask around once I'm there if the mood strikes me.Quote:

Besides a tour, spend a day like I did and check out the Negril Lighthouse and Whoopie's Hammock Park. :)
Breana there is a bost called the Wildthing i am sure you have seen it it is very fun. Really good food and lots of booze. It is usually around 65 dollars not a bad deal. I have been on others like the red stripe which is cheaper but not as good. If you go ask for Nicko he is the dive or snorkel guy he is really awsome and will take good care of you. Tell him John & Kim told you to go. Also if you are into Horses the Rhodes plantation tour is good you get to swim with the horses in the ocean its pretty wild.
