Negril에서 Montego Bay까지 Private car transfer

A Daytrip private transfer will get you door-to-door in just 90 minutes while offering you the option of adding sightseeing stops along the way to make the most of your journey. You can immerse yourself into the Jamaican jungle with an adventurous river walk to the thundering series of cascades at Mayfield Falls, or learn more about traditional rum making (and even possibly enjoy a sample or two) at the Hampden Sugar Estate.

Taking a private car transfer with Daytrip gives you the simplest, most stress-free transfer between Negril to Montego Bay, and allows you to make the most of these pockets of Western Jamaica that you might not have thought to explore.

Montego Bay combines elements of Western Jamaica’s rich cultural heritage with a more contemporary appeal. The cultural center on Sam Sharpe Square offers visitors insight into the country’s storied history, while spots such as the main “Hip Strip” draw in crowds with their walkability and abundance of bars, shops, and restaurants serving classics like Jerk chicken or pork.

Meanwhile, the natural splendor of this northwestern coastal paradise is some of the most remarkable in the world. Sites like Doctor’s Cave Beach are thought in traditional folklore to hold healing properties and boast unmatched cave diving, and snorkeling, as well as simple luxuriation in the crystalline waters and powdery pink-white sand.

For those seeking a slower pace of life on the water, with no swimming required, Montego Bay hosts guided river tours in places such as the Martha Brae River, allowing you to float along on a bamboo raft, listening to the jungle birdsong and soaking up the sun.

Your time here can be as relaxing or as high adventure as you like. There is a wide range of watersports available to try, as well as jungle trekking with professional guides, but these are matched in number by shopping opportunities, plenty of relaxing beaches, and a tantalizingly diverse cuisine to choose from.

Talk with your driver

On your private driving transfer, you should feel comfortable communicating any preferences to your friendly, English-speaking driver, as they are there to make sure you have the best trip possible. Feel free to communicate everything from requests about your sightseeing stops to the basics like air conditioning adjustments, or even just chatting to gain some local insight about the area or tips on things to do in Jamaica!

Experience more of Jamaica

If you want to elevate your Negril to Montego Bay transfer experience, especially given the fairly short distance between the cities, it is a great idea to choose a sightseeing stop or two along the way. In addition to stops at places like the Hampden Sugar Estate, you can gain a powerful glimpse into parts of Jamaican history and learn from the passionate guides at the Greenwood Great House.

Visit Doctor’s Cave Beach

This is a paid-entry beach club, well worth the admission cost. The pristine, warm sand and clear, calm waters offer dazzling snorkeling around the thriving reef and peaceful swimming, as well as plenty of space to lounge in the sun. There is rich folklore surrounding the area that claims the waters offer a natural source of healing (hence the name), which may be part of its mystical draw. Restaurants serving traditional fare and bars are available once in the club area.

Cruise on a catamaran around the bay

See Montego Bay by water with one of the popular boat tours. Some offer stops at the famous “Margaritaville” or snorkeling opportunities throughout the cruise. This is an ultra-relaxing way to take in the beauty of the Jamaican coastline while listening to reggae favorites.

Raft down the Martha Brae River

This raft ride is one of the most popular activities for travelers to Jamaica, as it offers a unique chance to be expertly guided through peaceful, stunning jungle scenery while learning about the story of “Martha Brae.” Spend an hour drifting along on a bamboo raft, being poled along by your guide, and stop along the way for clay massages or a drink at the riverside rum bars.

Jump into the “Blue Hole” at Island Gully Falls

This 20-foot cascade tumbles into shockingly blue water, and is accompanied by a wooden platform set into the side of the mountain that allows visitors to jump safely into the crystal clear depths below. There is also a rope swing further up the river that allows a jump into the water from a slightly less intimidating height.

Many people will recommend visiting Jamaica in the winter or spring when the weather is less swelteringly hot but still warm and calm. But if you want to visit outside of peak tourism months, consider a trip during the shoulder season from March to May.

You will still beat the hottest weather while avoiding the wet season too, and you might find that the most popular attractions are much less crowded and that your travels are a bit more affordable overall.
