The Blue Hole Mineral Spring

Located in the hills, the Blue Hole Mineral Spring is one of the best off the beaten path things to do in Negril, Jamaica.

You and your loved one can watch the beautiful sunset from the deck as you sip on delicious rum punch.  The best part? The cruise will be entertained by a local musician – just him and his guitar. A perfect way to end a day in the Caribbean sun, this really is one of the romantic things to do in Negril Jamaica.

Margaritaville

A playground for adults, Margaritaville is the ideal place for those that want to let their hair down with a day of margarita sampling and beach fun.
