What to expect
Join us on this afternoon trip to the heart of beach-fringed Negril, where you can shop and relax at Rick's Café at your own pace.A popular resort on the island's most westerly point, the town has an impressive retail repertoire. You'll find duty-free bargains – cigars, perfumes, jewellery. Or for authentic Jamaican buys, on Norman Manley Boulevard you'll find the craft market.Once you're shopped out, head to Rick's Café. This legendary cliff top venue is an institution for locals and tourists alike, who come to enjoy the chat, cold beers and Caribbean-American food. From late afternoon, it comes with a sideshow of daring locals trying to outdo each other as they leap from the cliffs.

There was no shopping at a craft market. We were dropped at one shop for 10 minutes whilst the driver went to pick up another guest. We then went straight to Ricks Cafe for three hours. We had to leave before the sun set which was the bit we were looking forward to the most

Great vibes at Rick’s cafe. A fun way to spend a couple of hours. Shopping was ok bought some souvenirs but felt sorry for the 2nd venue as we did our shopping at first store. Maybe one shopping stop would be better.

Ricks Cafe was fantastic and so was the sunset. The shopping was just ok, not a craft market. Just a shop with inflated prices, then they pretend you are getting things at half price. Strange, but happy with what I bought.

Ricks Cafe is great day/night out good music good dancers with the odd crazy funny one. The Divers who jump off the top are amazing just apart from asking for tips.Had good company on the tour except 2 miserable people who wanted to go back early if they wasn’t there we woulda probly been there to close. If you get Eddie Murphy as your driver you in for a great excellent tour.

Let me give you an example, stopped off at a kind of Poundland shop, was told as we entered it was sale day and everything was 50% off marked price only to discover the baseball cap I looked at came to $18 more after the 50% discount than having the exact same one in my resort cheaper. Anyway Ricks cafe was an ok day out, did get really busy, if you decide to go, go with an open mind and go with the flow, it’s a booze cruse without the boat no liquid or snacks are allowed inside take loads of $

Ricks cafe was good if your in your early 20’s as it was full of young people in designer clothes & you’ll need a mortgage to pay for the drinks that were expensive but for the music & atmosphere it was spot on, as for the shopping it was good, people friendly & it was relatively cheap.

The shop stop was unnecessary very overpriced items saying 50% off but still ridiculously expensive. Rick’s cafe was great, loved the experience, great atmosphere. It’s a shame the bus doesn’t pick up and drop off 10-15 minutes later and then we could have seen the sunset. Rick’s is definitely worth visiting and a highlight of our holiday.

This trip is the easiest and cheapest way to go to Ricks cafe for a few hours. You do have to stop at a tourist shop (overpriced) however, we didn’t feel pressured to buy anything and if you choose you can go to the craft markets. We chose to skip this and have longer at Ricks. Ricks is fairly quiet until the boats all descend early evening. Teenage kids loved the cliff jumping. We ate at ricks and it’s good but expensive.

We really enjoyed the bustling atmosphere of Rick's. We did wait for food but it was very busy & it was excellent when it arrived. The cliff jumping & sunset were fun to watch. The coach journey was fine. What really let the trip down was the shopping aspect. A craft market was mentioned we never went there we were taken to one store for souvenirs. Prices seemed ok but a huge tourist tax was added at the till so we left with nothing refusing to be charged double the price!

I didn't book to go to a craft shop, so it was a waste of our time. I booked to go directly to Rick's Cafe...so we only had 2hrs at Rick's Cafe which wasn't long enough. Our driver was very good and he explained about the area and location on the journey. TUI please describe the excursions correctly....People want to know what they pay for!!!

Only disappointment was the shop that we stopped at on the way. Extremely expensive and nothing there that you couldn't get much cheaper at the local beach stalls.

Absolutely loved Rick’s cafe and our guide O’Neil was brilliant. The stop off at shops wasn’t clearly advertised in the excursion so this came as a surprise, and felt like a waste of time. The shops we stopped at sold overpriced souvenirs and we’d have rather had the extra hour at Rick’s.

We were expecting this to be a straight ride to Rick’s Cafe and back without any faff. Sadly immediately upon being picked up from our hotel in Negril, we were taken to a gift shop next door. We then laboured here for nearly an hour, exacerbated by some of those on the bus apparently wanting to do all of their shopping. We did then get on to Rick’s, but time there was halved to 90 mins due to this and some guests also wanting to leave earlier than the advertised pick up to get back for dinner.

We wasn’t informed the trip we had booked had been changed and we weren’t informed of time change. If we had of known changes we would have cancelled the trip, we paid $25 to get back to the hotel as we didn’t want to spend 2.5hrs at a place we would never have visited.

On booking the shopping tour, I didn't realise it included Rick's Cafe. This was a lovely surprise, and well worth the money spent, just to be able to see the sunset from there. The shopping 'tour' which I had initially booked, and believed to be the only thing included would not have been worth the trip otherwise. We were taken to one tiny, very expensive souvenir shop, and given 10 minutes before we were moved on to head to Rick's. Definitely not what I expected, but Rick's made up for it!

It was a "Shopping Tour" so we were taken from place to place. We were hoping to be set down somewhere and left to shop but I imagine that wasn't possible perhaps because of COVID restrictions and/or the layout of Negril itself. We particularly enjoyed the craft market and could have spent more time there. An unadvertised trip to Rick's Cafe was welcome but we would have preferred advance notice of this (it was not in the excursion details). We picked up a few good souvenirs so overall a positive experience.
