Activities in Jamaica

We're beginning to compile a list of activities for our Jamaica trip. While we are approaching our time down there with a laid back attitude, we will try to arrange some activities of common interest! Please feel free to add comments/additions to the list!

Activities around Negril:
  • Kool Runnings Water Park - family friendly entertainment
  • Whitewater Expedition - 3-4 hr tour, ~ 45 min from Negril
  • Mayfield Falls - bring your flip flops or 'water' shoes!
  • Royal Palm Reserve - Nature reserve
  • YS Falls - quite possibly the largest set of falls in Jamaica, ~ 1 hr from Negril
  • Appleton Rums - Fermination and Distillation (very near YS Falls - could make into a day trip to both)
  • Golf (Negril Hills Golf Club - website was down when I checked)
  • Margaritaville
  • Negril Lighthouse
  • Booby Cay (small island off coast where some of '2000 Leagues Under the Sea' was filmed)
Also, many of these activities will accept and are listed in US $. If not, the currency conversion is 1 US$ to 71 J$!

Activities available through Couples Resort:
For those not staying at couples, the activities below are still available when you purchase an entry pass which come in 3 flavors: Day Pass (10am - 6pm) or Evening Pass (6pm - 1am) for $100, or a full day pass (10am - 11pm) for $200.
