How To Spend An Evening In Montego Bay Jamaica

Montego Bay or Mo Bay, as it’s known locally, is Jamaica’s second city and the place where most tourists fly into. This is the vacation hub of Jamaica, set up for having a good time with plenty of hotels, beaches, bars, and restaurants. Despite the dominance of the all-inclusive hotels, there’s a lot happening in this holiday hotspot.

Get Out on the Water and Watch the Sunset

Board a luxury catamaran for a two-hour sunset cruise from Montego Bay. Enjoy a glass of champagne on the deck as the sun sets over the Caribbean Sea. Reggae music provides a suitable soundtrack for an onboard party. The cruise returns in plenty of time to carry on the party in one of MoBay’s many bars.

Take a Night Tour

Glistening Waters
Just a short distance from Montego Bay is the natural wonder of Glistening Waters. This natural lagoon contains millions of bioluminescent organisms that emit an eerie light when agitated. Organized boat rides offer visitors the chance to wave their hands in the waters and marvel at the ensuing natural light show. Come prepared and it’s even possible to swim in the water, creating an illuminated path as you move.
