The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV trails are rocky and dusty; sturdy shoes protect feet and improve control.

Bring a dry bag

Keep electronics and a spare shirt dry for the swim and cliff-side wind at Rick’s Café.

Time your visit for sunset

Request an afternoon departure so you finish at Rick’s Café in golden light when cliff access and views peak.

Listen to the guides

Zipline and cliff-jump protocols are site-specific — follow instructions to avoid tide and wind hazards.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside jerk stands near the ATV staging area for authentic lunch bites
  • Secluded ledges west of Rick’s Café that locals use for quieter sunset views

Wildlife

  • Brown pelicans and frigatebirds offshore
  • Green iguanas sunning on cliff ledges

Conservation Note

The coastal reef and cliff habitats are sensitive — avoid standing on fragile limestone edges, take all trash with you, and use reef-safe sunscreen near swim areas.

Negril grew from a small fishing community; Rick’s Café opened in the 1970s and helped popularize cliff-jumping culture and sunset gatherings.
