Once you know the vibe, it’s time to plan a few activities. Check out some of the most popular activities and destinations for a Jamaica bachelor party.
Bus Bar Crawl
Negril
A popular Jamaica bachelor party activity is a bus bar crawl. This is similar to many other bar crawls but with a slight twist: you’ll move between the bars on a bus. Not only will you be able to see and experience different bars throughout the Negril area, but you won’t have to worry about getting yourself and your group from bar to bar.
Enjoy different drinks and atmospheres. You’ll get to sample iconic Jamaican drinks as well as experience live entertainment and an amazing sunset, and explore a few underground caves.
Scuba Diving
Montego Bay
Another great Jamaican activity is scuba diving. Montego Bay not only offers excellent areas to dive, but it also has a scuba school for anyone who isn’t certified.
Get your entire group involved, and enroll in the scuba diving program before getting out into open waters. You’ll get to see some incredible marine life while making a lifelong memory. Or, just head out on a snorkeling excursion–no training needed, and you’ll still see some amazing sights.
ATV Tour
Negril
If you’re looking for a little more adventure, then you might consider adding an ATV tour to your bachelor party agenda. In Negril, you can experience Jamaica while zipping by in an ATV or on horseback. Both options will get your adrenaline going while seeing the lush and beautiful landscape.
Mountain Bike Tour
Kingston
Around Jamaica’s capital, you can find tons of different tours. One is a bicycle tour through the Blue Mountains. But be prepared, this tour takes nearly 10 hours to complete!
You’ll be picked up by car and taken to the top of the Blue Mountains. Then you and your bachelor party group will spend hours cycling down while viewing the expansive beauty of Jamaica. Plus, you’ll get to cool off in a few waterfalls on your way down.
Clubbing
Negril or Montego Bay
There’s quite an active nightlife scene in Jamaica. If you and your group are looking for a fun night of drinks and dancing, then you’ll want to plan on hitting a few clubs around Negril or Montego Bay. The good news is there are plenty to choose from.
