The 10 Best Tours in Montego Bay, Saint James Parish

April 11, 2022 Renato Branum

While this Jamaican spring break favorite is great for party animals, it can also be surprisingly low key – if you want. Montego Bay has excellent duty-free shopping, vibrant nightlife, and calm waters. Browse the local handicrafts at the open-air Harbour Street market, or the "hip strip" shops of Gloucester Avenue. The underwater crevices of Widowmaker’s Cave offer an intricate diving experience. Float serenely down the Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft and let your troubles melt away under the sun.

Byron’s tour and transfer service is the best you’ll get in Jamaica. Great personality, punctual when it come to picking up and dropping off, great choice of vehicles for transportation. During the ride to the excursion Byron taught us about certain traditions, the island and how it’s divided into certain sections. If your thinking about using their services look no further you’ve found the perfect spot!!!!!!!!

I have to say my husband and I had a wonderful time with ‘Aaron’! Aaron arrived before our pick-up time (HYATT ZILARA) of 11:30AM. **LOVE THAT, PROMPT SERVICE** Even though I was a little late because I left my water shoes upstairs in our room, so I had to run back upstairs quickly to get them. LOL Aaron took us to YS Falls in Saint Elizabeth, and then after that he drove us over to Floyd’s Pelican Bar. AMAZING TIME IN BOTH PLACES!!! Thank you so much Aaron for the enjoyable conversations, as well as taking us, and getting us back to our hotel safely. We will be sure to book with you when we are in town again and best believe we will be requesting ‘Aaron’ as our driver! Thank you & stay safe Shavarr & Adrianne

We originally planned to take a taxi from the airport in Montego to a dispensary but then I found 420tours and I’m so glad I did. We emailed them at 9:30pm a few days before our trip and they responded within minutes and set up a customized tour for us. Mr Allen picked us up from the airport, spliff ready and cooler of waters. He took us to Island Strains then drove us to Negril where we stopped at Wake n Bake then Ricks Cafe before dropping us off at our resort. The whole drive he told us about each town we went through and information about Jamaica in general. It went so well we decided to book him for our return trip back to the airport at the end of our vacation; rather than being stuck on the resort shuttle bus we got a private ride with one last smoke. Definitely recommend booking 420tours; we’re going back to Jamaica in a few months and plan to call Mr Allen again.

Dave was absolutely amazing and very accommodating! He arrived on time and stayed with us the entire day. Most of our trip we were on curfew unable to explore Jamaica but that Monday he definitely made up for it. I even asked for lobster and he said no problem. I really experienced real culture and for that I’m grateful ! Will definitely be back !

This is an excellent tour for anyone who wants to drive a side by side and see the jungle side of Jamaica. 2 guides took our group out and they identified trees and different areas and mountain ranges. They take you swimming too at a local bridge on the sweet water river. You are provided lunch at the end of the tour. Highly recommend .
