Wondering what's out there for the kids?

Here are the top kid-friendly water activities beyond Montego Bay's shores.

Tubing

Tubing is an ideal activity for families, offering fun and relaxation for all ages, from your little ones to grandma and grandpa. 

As you float leisurely across the calm waters, you don't have to worry about paddling or steering—just sit back and enjoy the ride.

It's a fantastic way to experience the ocean without exerting much effort.

Small children should always be accompanied by a parent to ensure their safety, but otherwise, it's an easy and enjoyable adventure for everyone.

Glass bottom boat tour

If you wish to stay dry while still experiencing the underwater wonders of the Caribbean, a glass-bottom boat tour is perfect.

Aboard the glass bottom boat tour, you and the kids can observe the vibrant ecosystem beneath the waves through the boat's clear viewing panels.

Some boat captains may permit you to even feed the fish with small bits of bread. 

Kayaking

Kayaking is a relaxing way to explore Montego Bay’s beautiful coastline.

Whether paddling solo or with a partner, it's a fantastic way for your teenagers to engage with nature and enjoy some exercise.

While younger children may find this activity more manageable with a parent.

Bottom fishing

If your kids are curious about fish, they will certainly enjoy a bottom fishing trip in Montego Bay.

During this activity, you can catch local fish such as snapper, grouper, and jacks.

This activity is suitable for teenagers, especially those who are patient and interested in learning about fishing techniques.

Snorkeling

Snorkeling is another way to explore the underwater world without the need for diving.

Even in just a few meters of water, snorkelers can observe the vibrant coral reefs and their many inhabitants. 

This activity is ideal for kids who are comfortable swimming and can follow basic instructions.

With the guidance of a trained instructor, your kids can safely enjoy the beauty of Montego Bay’s marine life. 

Wakeboarding

Wakeboarding provides an adrenaline-pumping experience that combines elements of snowboarding and water skiing.

You are towed behind a speedboat, skimming over the water with your feet strapped to a board.

This activity is best suited for teenagers who are comfortable in the water and looking for an exciting challenge.

Due to the skill and strength required, it’s crucial for participants to receive proper instruction from certified guides and to wear the appropriate safety gear.
