Clear Kayak Drone Photo & Video Shoot in Montego Bay
A clear kayak gives you a view straight through the hull to the turquoise water below, while a drone photographs you from above. That unusual mix makes this Montego Bay photo shoot more than a standard beach portrait session.
I like the private setup, which keeps the session focused on your group, and I like that you choose your 12 favorite photos and one 30-second video before leaving. The polite, careful driving from Raymond, and the strong service from Mark, add useful peace of mind.
The main consideration is timing: your finished images arrive by email within 24 to 48 hours, not on the spot. Flowers also cost an extra $20 per kayak, and bad weather can force a new date.

Key points to know before booking

- The clear kayak is the star: You can see the water below you while the photographer works from several angles.
- The drone adds height and scale: Aerial images show the kayak, the sea, and your poses in one frame.
- You receive 12 photos and one video: You select your favorites after the shoot, including the music for the 30-second video.
- Private transport is included: The package covers an air-conditioned vehicle, private transportation, water, taxes, the kayak, boat, and drone shoot.
- Flowers are optional: Add them for $20 per kayak, but request them in advance.
- It suits solo visitors and couples: You can book alone, or arrange a shared shoot if you want images together.
Why the clear kayak makes this shoot different

Many water photos look much like beach photos: a person, a horizon, and blue water behind them. This session gives you another visual layer. The transparent kayak lets the camera show the water beneath your body, while the drone can frame you from directly above or at an angle.
That matters if you want photographs that feel tied to Jamaica rather than simple vacation portraits. The turquoise sea becomes part of the picture, not just a background color. The overhead view also gives the photographer more choices than a camera held from the shore.
You do not need to arrive with a full set of poses. The photographer offers suggestions and creative direction if needed. If you already know the sort of images you want, you can also communicate those ideas before the session begins.
The shoot itself lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. The complete experience runs about 1 hour and 30 minutes, allowing time for transport, getting into position, reviewing the images, and choosing your final files. That is a useful distinction when you are planning a cruise day, dinner reservation, or airport transfer.

What happens during the 90-minute experience
Your outing begins with pickup if you choose that option. The package includes an air-conditioned vehicle and private transportation, so you do not have to arrange a separate taxi for the session. Raymond has handled driving for this company and is described as polite and careful, while Mark has also provided private driving and attentive service.
The transportation is not the main attraction, but it can shape your day. A private ride means your group does not have to fit around strangers or make its own way to the water activity. You also receive bottled water, which is a small but practical touch in Jamaica’s warm climate.
At the water, the photographer prepares the clear kayak and explains how to pose. The available information does not give a precise launch site, so you should confirm the meeting and pickup details after booking. The activity is near public transportation, but the included private ride remains the simpler choice if you are carrying personal items or staying outside the immediate area.
Once you are in the kayak, expect the photographer to work through different poses and angles. The drone captures the session from above, creating views that a camera on a dock or boat cannot match. The boat is included as part of the shoot, which helps make the aerial work possible.
The water session is not described as a long kayaking excursion. Think of it as a photo session on the water, not a sightseeing paddle. If you want to spend several hours exploring the coast by kayak, this is not that kind of tour.
After the photography ends, you sit down to review the images and video clips on a computer screen. You select 12 photos and choose the 30-second video you want edited. You can also select the music for the video, which gives the final clip a more personal feel.
The finished material is sent to the email address you provide. Allow 24 to 48 hours for delivery and editing. I would check your email carefully after the session and make sure the address you give the photographer is correct.
The photo session, poses, and drone angles

The photographer takes an exclusive set of photos and videos for your group to choose from. That is better than receiving a fixed handful of images without any control over the final selection. You can pick the photographs that best show your pose, expression, kayak position, or view of the water.
You also receive creative direction if you need it. This helps if you are not used to being photographed or if you are traveling alone and want the photographer to guide the session. A solo visitor described meeting other solo people and having a fun social atmosphere, but the booking itself is a private activity, so your actual photo session is for your group only.
The drone changes the feel of the pictures. A regular portrait camera tends to focus on faces and clothing. An aerial camera can show the entire kayak, the water around it, and the shape of your pose. It is especially useful for couples, birthday photos, engagement-style images, or a personal trip where you want something beyond a phone selfie.
The supplied details do not promise a set number of drone angles or a fixed number of original files. What is included is your chance to select 12 edited photos and one 30-second video from the material created during the session.
For the best result, use the special requirement field when booking to describe a celebration or request. The operator specifically asks you to mention special moments in advance. That gives the team a chance to prepare rather than hearing about the occasion at the last second.
Flowers, celebrations, and personal touches

Flowers are not included in the $70 price. You can add them for $20 per kayak, but you need to request them ahead of time. They are useful if you want a romantic setup, birthday decoration, or a stronger color contrast against the clear kayak and blue water.
I would not add flowers automatically. The kayak and overhead water view already give the photos a distinctive look, and the extra decoration may not suit every style. For a proposal, anniversary, birthday, or styled couple session, though, flowers can help create a more deliberate scene.
Include details about your celebration in the special requirement field. The company provides this option specifically for special moments, so it is worth using if the photos have a purpose beyond a casual holiday memory.

What the $70 price includes

At $70 per person, the value depends on how much you care about finished photographs. This is not simply a short ride on a clear kayak. The fee includes the clear kayak, boat, photographer-led session, drone work, private transportation, an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, and all fees and taxes.
You also receive 12 selected photos and a 30-second video with your chosen music. For someone who would otherwise pay separately for transport and a professional photo session, that is a reasonable package. The private format adds value for couples, families, and small groups who want the camera focused on them.
The price is less compelling if you mainly want to paddle or spend time on the water. The active photo portion lasts 30 to 45 minutes, and the total outing is about 90 minutes. You are paying for the production and the finished images, not for a long water excursion.
Flowers cost extra, and the price of any additional photographs beyond the included 12 is not stated. Ask about extra files before you make your selections if you think you will want more than the package provides.
Each person must book individually for a separate photo shoot. If you want to be photographed together, choose the appropriate shared option instead. This is an important booking detail for couples or friends, since selecting the wrong arrangement could affect how the session is organized.
Group discounts are available, though the exact discount is not specified. If you are booking for several people, ask for the group rate before paying. Since the activity is private, a larger party may also want to confirm how many people can take part in one kayak session.
Private service and the people behind the ride

The clearest pattern in the available comments is praise for the transportation and personal service. Raymond is repeatedly singled out for getting people to their destination safely, remaining polite, and taking care of the day. Mark is also identified as an excellent private driver during an outing that combined the clear kayak with bamboo rafting.
That information is useful because transport can be the least predictable part of a short Jamaican activity. Knowing that Raymond or Mark may be your driver gives you a practical contact point, although you should not assume which person will drive until your pickup is confirmed.
The activity is private, so only your group takes part in the booked experience. That works well if you want to feel relaxed in front of the camera or if you have a special request. It also means you do not have to share the photographic focus with a large crowd.
At the same time, the photographer’s name is not provided. You know that a professional photographer handles the shoot and that creative direction is available, but you cannot choose a named photographer from the information supplied.
Who will enjoy this most

I would recommend this experience to you if you want polished vacation images without spending half a day at a studio or resort. It is a particularly good match for:
- Couples marking an anniversary or romantic trip
- Solo visitors who want professional images of themselves
- Friends who want a shared set of unusual water photos
- Families looking for a short, private activity
- People who value video clips as much as still photographs
- Anyone who prefers arranged poses and direction over taking their own pictures
The solo option deserves special mention. One person who booked alone had a good time, met other solo people, and described the experience as a fun social setting. The actual activity remains private, but you do not need a partner to make the booking worthwhile.
I would be more cautious if you dislike posing, have limited time before a flight, or want a physically active kayaking trip. This is built around photography. The kayak is the setting and the visual tool, not the main form of exercise.
Most people can participate, according to the provided activity information, but specific medical, swimming, or mobility requirements are not detailed. If you have a concern, ask the operator before booking rather than relying on a general suitability statement.
Weather, timing, and cancellation

This experience needs good weather. If poor conditions cause a cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. That policy is helpful for a water activity that depends on safe conditions and clear views.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the start time. If you cancel inside the 24-hour window, you receive no refund, and changes made within that period are not accepted. The cut-off follows Montego Bay local time.
I would avoid placing this activity too close to an airport departure, especially if you are counting on a particular weather window. The finished photos also take 24 to 48 hours, so schedule the shoot early in your stay if you want the files available before you leave.
The experience is booked, on average, 43 days ahead. That does not guarantee it will sell out on your dates, but it suggests that advance planning is sensible, especially for a birthday, couple session, or cruise visit with a fixed schedule.
My booking advice for Montego Bay
Before paying, confirm four things: your pickup point, the shared or separate booking option, the flower request if needed, and the email address for delivery. If you are celebrating something, write it in the special requirement field.
Bring a clear idea of the mood you want, but do not worry if you are not confident with poses. The photographer can suggest positions and offer creative direction. You will have a chance to choose the final images, so you do not need to make every decision while the drone is in the air.
Remember that the package includes 12 photos and one 30-second video, not an unlimited gallery. If you want more images, ask about the available options before selecting your favorites.
Should you book the clear kayak drone shoot?
Book it if your main goal is a short, private photo experience with unusual aerial images, reliable transport, and a finished video. The clear kayak gives the session a strong visual hook, while the drone adds views you cannot reproduce with a phone.
I would especially choose it for a solo trip, anniversary, birthday, or couple’s holiday. I would skip it if you want a long paddle, detailed coastal sightseeing, or instant photos before leaving Jamaica.
At $70 per person, the package offers fair value for professional photography, drone work, transport, water, and selected digital files. Add the $20 flowers only when they fit your occasion. Plan around the weather, allow two days for delivery, and you will have a clear idea of what this experience can and cannot provide.
