Sandals Royal Caribbean Excursions in Jamaica
Sandals Royal Caribbean is located in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and although it offers plenty of complimentary activities onsite, you’ll probably also want to explore Jamaica some.
To do that, you can book off-resort excursions for an extra cost through Sandals, either on the website once you’ve made your reservation or after you get to the resort.
There are a lot of things to do in Jamaica and the Montego Bay area, so you’ll have a wide variety of excursions to choose from. Sandals Royal Caribbean excursions are managed by Island Routes, but you book and pay through Sandals.
Sandals Royal Caribbean excursions include catamaran cruises, ziplining in the jungle, ATV tours, a “drive your own” adventure to Negril or Ocho Rios, boat trips, river rafting, waterfall tours, mountain hiking, swimming in a luminous lagoon, rum tours, historic and cultural tours, and more.
We liked the Luminous Lagoon Experience as well as the Martha Brae Bamboo Rafting. In our opinion, the Dunn’s River Falls excursion is too far from Sandals Royal Caribbean to be a good choice if you’re staying here, since it’s in Ocho Rios which is quite a long drive. A better location for that excursion is Sandals Dunn’s River or Sandals Ochi.
However, they have recently added some powerboat excursions that will take you places like Negril pretty quickly.
Let’s take a look at some of the Sandals Royal Caribbean excursions in more detail.
Treetop Zipline and River Tubing Experience Montego Bay
Adventurous couples will enjoy this Sandals Royal Caribbean excursion, which takes you into the rainforest to zipline hundreds of feet up above the trees. Then you’ll tube down the river as guides point out local wildlife and jungle animals.
Bamboo River Rafting on the Martha Brae River
For a unique experience, relax on a 30-foot bamboo raft as your captain guides you down the beautiful Martha Brae River in the rainforest. Enjoy the peace and quiet as you spot exotic local flowers and birds along the way.
Luminous Lagoon Experience
Home to tiny organisms that glow when touched, the Luminous Lagoon is a great romantic excursion. You’ll head there at sunset for a night cruise, and get a chance to swim in the water.
Rose Hall Great House Night Experience
This slightly spooky Sandals Royal Caribbean excursion takes you through the historic plantation, home to Jamaica’s “White Witch,” on a candle-lit tour complete with storytelling. End the tour in the dungeon, which is now a pub.
Blue Mountain Hiking and Waterfall Tour from Montego Bay
Enjoy delicious Blue Mountain coffee, then head up 1500 feet on a 2-mile hike up the mountain, which passes through tropical forest. Along the way you’ll get a chance to cool off at beautiful waterfalls.
YS Falls and Appleton Estate Rum Tour
Head to the South Coast to see the seven waterfalls at YS Falls, swim in the natural pools, and then visit Appleton Estate to tour the distillery. You’ll enjoy a tasty lunch and then try samples of three different rum blends.
Cinnamon Hill Golf Course Experience
Play 18 holes at one of the Caribbean’s best-known golf courses, Cinnamon Hill. This challenging course has incredible sea views plus amazing landmarks and appeals to all kinds of golfers.
