Hi y'all! I'll be going to Negril for the first time in Sept. and really would love to hear about some of your favorite day trip suggestions! I will be in Negril for 2 weeks, so hoping to be able to check out a few fun places.
I recently watched one of the webcasts, and this message board was highly recommended to me, so thanks for any ideas you can offer me!

Hey Alexa,
Welcome to the board. I would recommend YS Falls with a side trip to Pelican bar. Take in the sunset as you are coming back on a boat from Pelican bar. It was one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. Go with a private driver and not with a tour group so you can dictate the flow of your day and how long you stay at a place. Have fun!!
Hey Booger!
I like your idea about the private driver so we don't have to wait on a group. Yea I love sunsets, definitely gonna check that out. Thanks!Originally Posted by booger
My suggestion is check out Abeoketo (sp?) - lovely park and great trip. Also, cruise down main street of Sav and check out the historic buildings and churches, etc. Using a private driver and just heading out of town, with pit stops at rum shacks is always fun.

Thanks for the suggestions. So, YS falls, Pelican Bar, and Abeoketo are the only day trips y'all recommend going to from Negril? I was hoping there would be more to do as far as day trips.

Oh I have day trips for days lol
Not too far from Negril:
Percy's Retreat
Blue Hole
Mayfield Falls
Montego Bay Area:
Rocklands Bird Sanctuary
Glistening Waters
Ocho Rios Area:
Mystic Mountain
Dunns River Falls
Tour Port Antonio (But this would be too far for a day trip)
Kingston:
Bob Marley Museum (but would also be probably too far for a day trip)
Blue Mountain Tours
I have done most of these listed but out of all so far my favorites have been:
YS Falls
Pelican Bar
Glistening Waters
Mystic Mountain
Bob Marley Museum
However, I am REALLY looking forward to the Rockland Bird Sanctuary which I have yet to visit
I had a wonderful time horsebackriding on my first trip. Also did Black River/YS Falls. This was in addition to a snorkeling trip out on a glass bottom boat. All were fun, but I could have skipped Black River (simply because it was nothing new to me).
On my second trip I was also with Booger amongst others for the YS Falls/Pelican Bar trip and it was out of this world fun, he is not exagerrating.
I know there is so much to do and so little time....i'm just sharing my own experience.
Stir IT UP
Good list Marley, I would also add -
Not too far from Negril:
Half Moon Bay
Sav-La-Mer on a Market Day Fri or Sat
Roaring River on the way to Mayfield Falls would make a good full day outing
Jurassic Park?
Bit further out -
Black River boat tour
Bamboo Avenue
Bluefield Beach and Belmont
Lovers Leap
Big ups for Percy's Retreat, Mayfield Falls, YS Falls, Pelican Bar and Bluefield.
What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding?
