Water Sports in Jamaica
Dive Right In Montego Bay
The warm turquoise waters and one of the most gorgeous natural reefs in Montego Bay, Jamaica make Round Hill a magnificent setting for your favourite water sports. Take a complimentary snorkel in the crystal-clear waters and the colourful coral reefs right from the beach and encounter spectacular tropical fish. Take out a pedal boat or kayak for an invigorating workout with your loved ones or take a guided Glass Bottom Boat ride with our seasoned staff who will highlight various fish, coral and fun stories of Round Hill.
Looking for more adrenaline? Let us take you water-skiing, wakeboarding or tubing in the bay, or book one of our boats to go fishing or whipping around the sea. Explore larger reefs and even become SCUBA certified while you’re visiting with us.
The options are endless, so lather on the sunscreen and come play in the warm waters of Jamaica! The following water sports are available to all guests.

Get suited up with complimentary masks, snorkels and fins and explore our stunning, natural tropical reef - located just a few yards from the beach or off the end of the dock.
