River tubing is like bamboo rafting, but you'll be in a group of connected inner tubes gently gliding along the rushing river. We recommend Zipline and River Tubing Combo. 11.

We recommend horseback riding from Montego Bay. 10. Sail to Negril Set sail to Negril and experience the breathtaking coast before adventuring into the water for snorkeling.
