Additional Information

Half Moon Beach (private) serves as a concealed treasure away from the regular holiday hotspots. This privately-owned beach, mostly untouched by crowds, features a handful of visitors reveling in the azure blue waters most days. Sheltered from nearby roads by rich, abundant vegetation, Half Moon beach is also home to the only ‘Pirate Island’ in Negril, named after the notorious Calico Jack. While optional, the boat ride and snorkeling around Calico Jack’s island definitely enhance the experience.

The public Negril 7-mile-beach offers a spot to relax or stroll along the entire coastline, lined with numerous bars & restaurants for additional refreshments.

An enjoyable drive to the globally renowned Rick’s Cafe can be added to your beach day itinerary. Rick’s Cafe is renowned for heart-pounding cliff diving, and offers the best spot to observe a Jamaican coastal sunset.

Best trip ever!!!!! - We came for our honeymoon/anniversary and we had an amazing time. Mama G took us all around, sharing stories, and so much knowledge on the country. She made us laugh, and was truly a fun, patient tour guide. Having it as a private tour made it even better because we could even stop for ice cream on the way home and she was totally fine with that. Great host and amazing company!

Mama G is the BEST!!! - Honestly, all I can say is that this business is by far the best. Its a private tour, so you can come and go as you please, and our driver was absolutely amazing. She gave us so much knowledge on Jamaica, and explained so many areas along the way. She went above and beyond and took us to try authentic Jamaican patties, and ice cream. She also took us to a cheap shopping plaza so we were not over spending . She was patient, fun, and I never once felt rushed, or uncomfortable. She truly was the best! I will absolutely be back with my family and booking her specifically. Thank you Mama G!

Amazing day in Negril - We had an amazing day with our driver Daz, who picked us up promptly at our B&B. He was very professional, informative, provided us with interesting details and stories about Jamaican history, places of interest etc. We were delighted he took us to places we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. It was a lovely tour that made our holiday very special.

Mamma G. Gold medal performance! - We decided to go East one day and West the next day. We added all the things we thought we might like to do to all of Mama G's suggestions, dropped the so/so ones and ended up with 2 incredible full days. Can't say enough about listening to each other. Mama G is such a wealth of knowledge. She listens, shares, and doesn't judge your choices. If you want to have a great trip instead of just a good one, ask her opinion.

Purely amazing experience - We were picked up right on time from Holiday Inn Montego Bay. Finesse vacation was our ride service Das was our driver and guide for the day. From the start big smiles and hand shakes. Non stop communication and interaction with us. Made the trip to Negril seem like it was just minutes away. Couple stops to give us authentic experience. We arrived at half moon beach and were greeted like family. The scenery was amazing the food even more amazing. I had their king fish plate. I highly recommend it! The private island was amazing. The young man with us (sorry I forgot to get his name) kept us laughing and entertained even when storms rolled in on us. Which was pretty cool to witness 1st hand on the little island. So we got a late run to ricks. We didn’t get to jump because it was too late. Didn’t matter we were all smiles for the memories this trip, our guide, and the fine people at half moon provided. We will always remember this trip! Thank you to all, Jonathan Lawson

10 out of 10 Must Book - This excursion was amazing! Das (our tour guide) went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable trip. He even stopped by Juici’s Patties and got our whole group a patty and then a street vendor so we could try Jelly (coconut). Both of which were just extra benefits of our tour. He let us decide how we wanted to spend our time and even took photos for us. Finesse Vacations is a “must book” for anyone visiting Jamaica.
