Specialty Museums
The Bob Marley Museum, located in Kingston, is a must-visit for reggae enthusiasts and anyone interested in the life of the iconic musician. Housed in his 19th-century home, this museum offers guided tours that provide insight into Bob Marley's life and legacy. The colonial-era wooden building has been preserved much as it looked during Marley's time there and is filled with memorabilia, including his gold and platinum records.
The gentleman guide was quite entertaining on the tour of the house, there was a 'sing-a-long' vibe which was hard to resist, certainly on our visit it was worth the entry fee. Perhaps it was the time of the day but the food outlet had very little that was 'ital', they had beer which covered the issue! I was able to get a parking spot without too much difficulty at the venue. Would be a nice house to live in... if it wasn't a museum!
Simon — Google review
This was a great tour! So much history. The tour took an hour. The history and information was great, but there was very little time to enjoy and take in the artifacts. It would have been nice to have some time in the rooms to really look at everything. Although I wouldn't want the tour to be any longer. 1 hour was plenty, but a little time set a side to really take in the art would have been better.
Bella L — Google review
The tour was amazing, Ricky our tour guide was an awesome and very knowledgeable commentator. Well worth the price for a tour to learn the history, and to see the many historical artifacts of the Legendary Bob Marley. My family and I enjoyed the experience.
Mahealani S — Google review
Visiting the Bob Marley Museum was an incredible experience! Our guide, Irie Sue (Susan), was amazing her energy, humor, and deep knowledge carried us back in time to relive the life and legacy of Bob Marley. She made the tour unforgettable, sharing stories that brought his music and message of love and unity to life. The museum itself is full of history Bob’s home, studio, awards, and personal items are all preserved, giving a real sense of who he was beyond the music. You can feel his spirit in every room. If you’re in Kingston, this is a must-visit. And if you can, ask for Irie Sue as your guide—you won’t regret it!

I learnt so much history on the Greatest of all time. Photography is not allowed inside and I can't blame them, this is something you have to experience in person. Wonderful tour of the premises. Don't worry if you are a smoker there is a little treat at the end of the tour waiting.

Very good tour and very informative. The only thing was there were too many tour guides there at one time, so it felt a bit rushed. The tour is about an hour . It would have been better if the tour was a bit longer. Jevy was our tour guide who made the tour worthwhile.

Waterfalls
The World Famous Dunn's River Falls & Park in Ocho Rios, Jamaica is a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. The terraced waterfall offers the perfect opportunity for climbing and exploring its cascades and pools that flow into the ocean. To avoid crowds, it's recommended to plan your visit ahead of time. Additionally, you can enhance your experience by booking a sailing excursion on the Jeanneau sailing yacht, Lark, which departs from Montego Bay.
Dunn's Falls was an unforgettable experience! The stunning water and scenic hike up to the falls were absolutely breathtaking. But what truly made our visit stand out was our incredible guides. They expertly kept the energy high and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great time, including one of our group members who needed special assistance - their care and attention to detail were impressive and greatly appreciated.
Vickie C — Google review
The Falls are absolutely beautiful. My wife and I found it magical! The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 stars was that on the way out, you are forced to walk through a maze of souvenir shops all trying to sell you, and being a bit pushy about it. I wouldn't have minded going through the shops if I didn't feel like everyone was trying to push their trinkets at me. But again, the falls were absolutely amazing!

Rock climbing was fun and adventurous, thoroughly enjoyed it. A few rocks were slippery but the guards were always present and at our disposal for assistance. Thank you for all the care and love! Highly recommended this place 👌🏻

This was an absolutely amazing experience! The walk to get up to the falls was though but we made it! We took the catamaran to the falls with the package we got! The views was just incredible. The tour guide was great, so nice, helpful and funny. It was a great experience. Few spots to get souvenirs which was great (beginning and after the falls). It is about an hour to get up there just with everyone who is doing it, so be prepared. Don’t take your purse and make sure to have a waterproof case for your phone because you’re gonna want to take your phone.

By far, the best Sandals I have ever been to. The staff were fantastic and the food and drinks were amazing. We did scuba diving and snorkeling. Enjoyed the fine restaurants and all the entertainment in the evenings. Security was amazing because we never got hassled on the beach. My only complaint was not with Sandals but American Air Lines. We had mechanical issues going and coming home. We lost a day of our vacation because of the airline. Thank goodness we had insurance for the trip. I will never fly American again.

This is a must do excursion!! Such a natural beauty. Make sure you wear water shoes that have great grip. The photographer does a great job in videoing and snapping pictures in the moment. Totally worth buying.
Aisha R — Google review
Beautiful waterfall, definitely a must see/do when in Jamaica. You can hike up the fall and enjoy the water. If you’re fit and comfortable going against raging water, you don’t really need a guide. We rented a car and did the hike ourselves without a guide and enjoyed it since we didn’t feel rushed to get anywhere. Go all the way down to the beach and work your way up. We got there when it opened so we were able to enjoy the park to ourselves for a while. When we were leaving, we started to see bigger groups come in. It’s a little commercialized, but still an amazing site to see!
Reinelle A — Google review
What a beautiful experience! I spent the day at the beach and climbed the waterfall. I went on a weekday, so it wasn’t overcrowded. The water was a bit chilly, but my body quickly adapted. The park was beautifully maintained, and the restrooms were clean as well.

Rose Hall Great House is a restored Georgian mansion that was built in 1770 on a former plantation in Jamaica. It offers tours that provide insight into the lives of European landowners and enslaved people during the sugar plantation era. The property is reputedly haunted, with local legends surrounding Annie Palmer, known as the White Witch of Rose Hall. Visitors can opt for candlelight tours to immerse themselves in the eerie atmosphere and learn about the mysterious deaths associated with the property.
Great place to visit. I'd definitely recommend it. Our guide was Marsha and she was very knowledgeable and polite. My wife and I had a very nice rum punch in the basement where there was a bar. We were given the little jars we had the punch in as a gift.
Ivan — Google review
Overall, visiting Rose Hall was a great experience. It was wonderful to learn about the local culture and hear interesting historical facts. The tour provided a lot of valuable information, though at times it felt a bit rushed. We would have appreciated more time in individual rooms and opportunities for questions and discussion. Despite that, it was an enjoyable and worthwhile visit, offering plenty of insight into the history and culture of the area.
Sebastian B — Google review
Definitely worth the visit. My friend and I did this tour and our tour guide was a lovely. Interesting stories. P.S. Try the witch’s brew from the pub there.

With its golden sands and turquoise waters, this beach is an idyllic spot for sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving. It holds historical significance as the beach that propelled Montego Bay into a tourism hotspot in the 1920s.
This is by far the best beach in montego Bay. It never disappoints. Always clean , great staff and food to make it a perfect spot to be. Anytime I am in Jamaica, it is my happy place 😊. By far the best beach ⛱️ 😎

Beautiful tranquil area! Extremely clean area and beach, but to access this beach and area a small fee needed. Don't worry it's very low and very worth it. Great to chill out, relax, have a walk.

This is a great beach… very beautiful. They have a lifeguard on the beach and security. They also have a great bar that is nearby with great drinks. The bar is able to accept American and Jamaican dollars very good vibes. The people were very friendly. I even got a celebratory birthday drink from a local. I’m here to tell the story lol. The people are extremely beautiful and you don’t have a lot of people heckling you. You do have to pay for chairs. I think we paid seven bucks. The beat is full of tourists and local so it’s a good mix and you’re likely to feel very comfortable there. Get there early if you want to avoid having to get an umbrella and use a tree for the ultimate shade they also serve food. We had beef and chicken patties. They were steaming hot and delicious. The bathrooms were clean. all in all very good beach.

Nice beach. Great view. Got shaded places under tree if you are worried to get burnt, plus the rental umbrella, you should be fine. Got all facilities you need and are pretty clean. It would be 5 stars if the stuffs can be nicer. We asked a lady who works there for helping us take a photo for all, however, she just turned around and ignored.

Doctors Cave Beach is located off the famous Hip Strip of Montego Bay. Access is via the Hip Strip, it’s a fee paying beach, the beach is impeccably clean with clear waters so you can see the sea life, if you venture out a little you can snorkel and see amazing sea life. There is bar serving drinks , cocktails and bar snacks , there is a Starbucks overlooking the beach so coffee and everything Starbucks is available. There is a bouncy thing you swim up to and bounce on or just chill and lie on, the beach can get busy from time to time, but that’s because it’s the place to hang out. The white sand, the clear sea, the warm sea and the impressive sealife makes this beach popular with tourists and locals alike

Cool Blue Hole Ocho Rios is a popular tourist destination in Jamaica, known for its scenic tropical waterfalls and multiple swimming holes. Nestled in the White River Valley, it offers enchanting views of lush greenery and exotic flowers. The icy blue waters of the river flow through hills, forests, and villages before reaching the Caribbean Sea. This hidden treasure is also referred to as Island Gully Falls, Secret Falls, and Irie Blue Hole.
An absolute must if you are anywhere in the Ocho Rios area - tours/transportation to here can easily be arranged from hotels. This is such a beautiful and peaceful place where you can relax and cool off in the shaded waters below. Just be warned that after heavy rains the cool blue hole can transform into cool brown hole! You will have so much fun jumping from the waterfall! - The guides here do a nice job with this.

This was my favorite excursion in Jamaica! Our tour guide LaShawn was a 14 year old who was super personable and professional. He helped us through the raging water and even encouraged me to jump! This is definitely a MUST DO when you’re here. We rented a car and got tickets online, so we drove there ourselves and didn’t have to worry about a big tour group. Highly recommend!
Reinelle A — Google review
We had a great experience! The tour guides were very patient, friendly, and helpful. Mickey was our primary guide and Jay was the secondary, and both went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and safe. Mickey even went diving to recover my brother’s sunglasses after they were lost during the fall—such a thoughtful gesture! A tip for future visitors: be sure to wear water shoes, as they make the walk up the falls much easier. Our pictures turned out amazing—the photographer did an excellent job capturing the moment, and the fee for all the photos was very reasonable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I would highly recommend!

this tourist attraction is very nice and worth the detour! it is not too crowed and the tour only last about 1hr total. you get to jump in the water many times, hike through the waterfalls and enjoy the quite unusual secret jungle hideout feel. the best advice i can give you is when you get out of the tour bus, make sure you leave all your clothes and belongings there and only wear your water shoes. you may bring a cellphone in waterproof case but nothing else.
Marie K — Google review
Would I return? Yes. Will I return? Yes. However, I won't book a tour, just drive up and pay for entrance and life jacket. This agency is amazing, our bus driver was amazing and informative. We did the blue hole and bamboo Rafting and had a great time. I HIGHLY recommend this agency If this is your first time booking or are not familiar with the culture of Jamaica. My only complaint is the constant begging for funds from side vendors playing on your emotions to buy something or the tour guide asking for tips. While going up the blue hole mountain we saw far to make vendors looking to sell something which ruins the scenery and fun of the hike. Even the photo guy, who came out of nowhere, asked for $120 for the photos And then asked for a tip. When I asked if the $120 isn't for him, he said no that's for his boss tip is different. The bamboo Rafting isn't long but it's relaxing. I fell asleep part way which is what I wanted as I was tired and needed to chill. Halfway, we stopped on an island where you can get a massage of some sort but then the side vendors popped up AGAIN asking for purchase. I am sorry to say this but the owner of these areas need to limit or straight up remove some of them. You can only buy so many gifts before you eventually stop caring. With the constant asking for tip you realize you can't plan accordingly, at least financially, properly for these excursion because you never know who's going to ask for a handout.

This place is breathtaking and beautiful. It is such a beautiful and scenic place to enjoy a day our in nature. The water is extremely cold. My family enjoyed jumping into the blue hole and swimming around. The place is located far up in the hills of St. ANNs. The guides at the location are very kind and helpful.

Theme park
Mystic Mountain, located in the lush rainforest of Ocho Rios, is a nature theme park that offers a variety of family-friendly adventure rides and activities. Spanning over 100 acres, this park takes visitors from the seaside to the summit of the mountain at 700 feet above sea level. The attractions include zip lining, bobsledding, birdwatching, water slides, and a chairlift canopy ride with stunning views of the surrounding jungle.
I would rate Mystic Mountain an 8/10. One downside is the lines, which understandably is long for any amusement park. We came on a sunday around 2-3pm and it was about an 1hr+ wait for one ride. They also don’t have a lot of rides/activities and the ticket price is kind of pricey for the amount of rides they offer. We paid $140 USD and couldn’t really go on the rides multiple times because of the long lines. Aside from that, the rides are fun especially the Bobsled. The Sky Explorer was nice and relaxing (unless you’re afraid of heights 😅). And the scenery is beautiful.
Nikki D — Google review
Mixed review. Loved the place, loved the activities. Did not like the sense of urgency. Based on my experience, do not book back to back excursions if going here. Meaning, if you wanted to go to Mystic Mountain and then want to go to another place, you may be at risk. The staff is not on your time!! Based on my experience, I recommend a full day at Mystic Mountain. There is a lot to do there. Pool, rope climb, rock wall, bob sled and zip line. The time given doesn't make sense. We had an 11Am ticket time. We got to the park before 11 am. After the ride up to the mountain, we found out the next available time for the zip line was 1:30 PM. We didn't get on the Zipline until 2:15 PM as the staff was waiting on the gear to get back to the starting point. Totally unorganized. Once on the Zipline however, things were smooth and it was a great time. There are multiple ziplines to take you back down the mountain. If you plan on leaving, the staff will send your bags ahead of you. Once done with the zip line, you can simply leave. I thought that was a cool service. The rope course and bobsled were also great

We had a phenominal time and can't recommend the park highly enough. From booking stage to transfers there and back to our hotel, the whole process was very smooth. Staff were very friendly and safety was definitely a priority. We visited early in the morning, which was great as it was quiet and not too hot. It's on my to-do-list as soon as I can get back to Jamaica. Well done to all, my husband and I had a wonderful time.

Mystic Mountain Guest Experience Review ​The overall visit to Mystic Mountain yielded a mixed experience. We would like to commend the operational staff assigned to the rides for their outstanding friendliness and accommodation; their professionalism significantly elevated the quality of our time on those attractions. ​However, the standards of service were inconsistent across the park, particularly within the food court where a lack of attentiveness was observed. Furthermore, the inability of the food and beverage service to manage inventory, resulting in items being completely unavailable during a high-volume holiday weekend, represents a critical logistical oversight that negatively impacted the guest experience. ​The most pressing issue is a need for greater transparency in operational status. Guests must be notified of significant closures, such as non-operational rides, weather-related shutdowns, and critically, the closure of the Sky Explorer (tram). Since the tram is a primary draw for many visitors, its non-operational status must be communicated clearly prior to ticket purchase, not discovered upon arrival. Given the loss of a major facility and the operational issues encountered, we believe a form of compensation or credit is warranted. ​In summary, Mystic Mountain possesses considerable potential as a destination when all facilities are functional and weather permits. Addressing the systemic issues related to logistics and customer information transparency is essential to ensure guest expectations are consistently met.

Mystic Mountain was nothing short of Adventure. Two friends and I went on a Tuesday and were able to zip line, go on the raggamuffin, have lunch, and bobsled twice! The gondola up and down truly transports you into a haven of pure FUN! 10/10 day for the girls!
Mace J — Google review
There's places to choose to dine and eat here if you would like, Infinity pool and plenty of activities to do once you get to the top of Mystic...the longest wait is i believe the bobsled ride, arrive early if you would like to enjoy all activities and go more than one round

We had fun here. Really enjoyed the meal and the bobsleigh. The entry fee was far to expensive for what you get. 70 US dollars basic entry fee which includes 4 activities. You don't get to choose the 4 so we only did 2 outa 4 and then paid an extra 20 US dollars for the bobsleigh.

Took my mom and kids, and this was a tremendous experience. The experience was quiet and peaceful. Mr. Gentile, our rafter, gave us the history of the river. The tour was quite long, 1 hour-ish, worth every penny. If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing experience, you'll find it at Martha Brae.

Cruising the river on bamboo rafts was very relaxing. Their is a cool breeze along the waters. There is punch available, for purchase, to bring along. The colors incredibly vibrant. Be prepared to take photos.

This is a wonderful experience. Our guide was Jay and he shared a lot of interesting information about Jamaica. I accidentally caused my husband to take a dive and he cut his finger on the wire. Jay poured rum on it and rubbed limestone and it stopped bleeding immediately. During the tour, they give you a limestone foot and leg massage. It was incredible....my feet are so smooth. The tour cost $35 per person and we bought a bottle of rum punch for $30 (we actually didn't know we were buying it but oh well!)

Prior to landing in Jamaica I was told that rafting on the Martha Brae river is an experience I should have. I must say that I was not too enthusiastic about going. Quite frankly it sounded boring to me. But along with other family I went with the flow. Well...hmm. it was a wonderful experience. After joining the raft which is made of bamboo we floated along the river with Ronald as our guide. He told us twice versions of the story of the Martha Brae river. Firstly, that Martha Brae was a witch who was tortured by the Spaniards so that she can tell where gold was located. That she lured then into a cave changed the course of the river and flooded out the cave causing them to drowned and the river began to flow in that new course from then until now. Second story is that the name Martha Brae is the english translation of the spanish name for the River Mateberion (not sure if the spelling of the name). We saw the river vendors plying their trade and children swimming in the river. We also saw fruit trees along the way. The most interesting part for us was to watch the guides manoeuvre the rafts when we arrived at our destination. There were so many rafts at the end that for us to get off the raft the guides had to use their oars to push the rafts out of the way so that we can inch forward slowly until we were able to step on to land. After that, while waiting be taken back to our vehicles we saw cranes loading the rafts...4 at a time on to the back of truck and we are told that the rafts are then taken to the beginning of the river and put back into the river so that other guests can join the raft and experience rafting on the Martha Brae River.

One of my favourite highlight of Jamaica was visiting the Martha Brae River. The river is nicely shaded from the hot sun. One raft cost 77USD for 2 people. Our guide was Leroy (Sugar), he was incredibly friendly and helped us take a lot of pictures! He was fun to chat with about Jamaica life and even about our life. Be sure to buy their craft, great souvenir to take back home. There are also vendors along the banks that sell fresh coconuts and souvenirs.

Negril Seven Mile Beach, also known as Negril Beach, is a stunning stretch of golden sands that spans seven miles along the coast. It's a popular destination for visitors seeking world-class views and relaxation. The area offers a variety of amenities and attractions, from nearby Dunns River Falls to the historic Negril Lighthouse. Many of Jamaica's best all-inclusive resorts are located along this beach, providing easy access to its beautiful white sands and clear turquoise waters.
It was a good experience.. I had thought 7 Miles Beach was like a beach for itself, but I know it’s a long walk if walking. But sections were taken. But anyway, we used Magaritaville, it was great, I loved the beach nonstop… 🏝️ Ville, food always up but dare! 👀 Enjoyed myself and it was a full day today..

It has many many restores along the mile which has beach access. We just went on a drive for Margaritaville which had beach access. It was beautiful. The whole place is amazing with its tropical weather yo the variety of fruits and food options. People are kind and friendly. The beaches are clean and pristine in almost all the places we went. Some of the tourists still left their half filled plastic bottles and cups of drinks on the beaches. Which the guards mostly cleanup after hours( which they shouldn’t have to if one is responsible enough) Some beach access you will have to pay in Montego Bay. But still it’s always worth it. The warm sun and sunsets are almost magical. These countries are blessed with good soil and a lot of abundance of healthy foods.

Perfect beach in Jamaica & Caribbean. Warm waters, casual & relaxed atmosphere, no stop lights, very controlled with really amazing policing with many police patrol on the negril seven mile beach to ensure everyone feels safe at all times. Also controlled by plane clothing policing/undercover who would remove persons from the beach if caught patronizing tourist for food, drinks , goods & other unwelcome services. Negril beach is so beautiful and rocks cafe is a highlight. So many places to have dinner and reggae horseback riding is the best option for ocean swim, shaded trail ride and the only one mile of private white sand to enjoy a romantic and family ride with love ones. Reggae horseback offers free unlimited photos & videos for every person with a phone/camera. Negril also has Reggae Horseback & Golf Packages. Many attractions to visit & play golf too. Negril seven mile beach is the most beautiful beach. Marijuana tours, ostrich tour at reggae horseback, and visit other rustic & natural unspoiled beaches🐎🐎🐎🇯🇲

Even if you don't participate in the Reggae Marathon, the Negril Seven Mile Beach is a beautiful beach to visit. I absolutely loved my time here. There's seven miles of beach, so there's more than enough room to grab some sand and chill. The water is calming and clear, but there are areas where it's "busy". Every beach has its spots and this beach is no exception.

The surrounding area also features the Jamaica Zoo with diverse animals like lions, llamas, zebras, monkeys, and crocodiles.
Went there for a school excursion. Place was clean and the staff very polite and spoke to students in a way for them to understand. I enjoyed learning about my ancestors as my tour guide Josh was very educated and shared and prompted the students to answer. I recommend here

The Green Grotto caves tour is a lovely adventure through several small cave systems. The main feature is the grotto itself, which is illuminated and beautiful in the deepest parts of the tour. The guide is always great. I’ve been twice and would go again. I walk with a cane and was able to do this tour reasonably well. There are stairs and uneven terrain throughout, but it’s manageable if you watch your step.

Green Grotto Caves was a really cool experience and a great break from the usual beach day. The caves themselves are beautiful and full of history, from the early Tainos to pirates and even rum runners. The underground lake was especially cool to see. What really made the tour stand out was our guide. He was knowledgeable, funny, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing, and it made a big difference. The tour isn’t too long and the walk is pretty easy, but there are a few stairs and uneven spots, nothing crazy, just something to keep in mind. It's a bit humid down there, but the cool air actually feels good after being in the sun. Only giving it 4 stars because the entry fee felt a little steep for the length of the tour, but it’s still a unique and memorable stop if you're in the area. Definitely recommend!

The Green Grotto Caves in Jamaica are a captivating natural wonder located along the island’s stunning north coast, nestled between the vibrant resort towns of Ocho Rios and Montego Bay in Discovery Bay, St. Ann. Their historical tapestry is equally compelling, having served as a shelter for the indigenous Taino Indians, a hideout for Spanish settlers during the 17th-century British invasion, a haven for runaway slaves, and even a storage site for rum barrels during World War II. One standout guide who elevates the Green Grotto Caves experience is Sarnya, whose passion and expertise make every tour unforgettable. Sarnya’s engaging storytelling brings the caves’ history to life, weaving tales of Taino artifacts, pirate hideouts, and wartime secrets with infectious enthusiasm.

Was told it was an island… it’s not a real island. More like a pile of sticks - man made. Not really worth it. Have to take a motorized speed boat ride. Bargained it down 35/ person from 50/ person. Takes about 30-35 min to get from the mainland of Jamaica to the place. Disappointing. Snorkeled a little as it was listed as a great snorkeling spot. Not really. it’s of grass/ trash in the water surrounding…. No fish in the grassy areas. No coral reef. There was about 10 different types of tropical fish behind the structure though- in the sandy/ not grassy area. Would not recommend this place as a great snorkeling spot. More of a tourist trap. Not interesting.

They made sure to get ice to make the daiquiri I ordered and made sure the credit card machine came so I could pay with my credit card. There was also a guy there that takes pictures that you could purchase which I did they turned out awesome and he was very very informative and nice!

This fantastic piece of Jamaica is a must see. The food they bring out of that tiny kitchen is unreal, and the people are friendly as can be. You can get your smoke there as well. Swimming is in shallow water despite the bar being a kilometre out into the water, and the ride out by boat is a great experience. You can hire a fisherman to taxi out from black river. The boat was $20usd each to get there and the food is understandably pricey given where it’s being made. Everything has fantastic here. Do yourself a favour and check it out!

So this place is really cool, you catch a boat to go there and then they cook your food in an old rim and who knows what else but the food was excellent and plated like a 5 star restaurant (don't ask me how they don't put there) anyhow your gonna need at least an hour and a half here or longer because the food took an hour but we just laid out back and napped. Prices are reasonable for what you get since the experience is worth a bunch on its own.

It’s a gorgeous National Park. Jamaica is so rich in nature, beautiful and green 🙂the Bkue National park is breathtaking. However it takes a long time to go through as the roads are narrow and very often in bad state so you have to slow down and the locals are so used to the roads that they don’t slow down, it’s a very challenging drive! We were unlucky that we went on a Monday and on an Elections day, so absolutely everything was closed. We tried to find a trail, but it’s absolutely impossible to do it unless you find one of the places which give you an access. So we just drove through the national park.

Rick's Cafe is a renowned bar and eatery located on the cliffs outside of Negril, Jamaica. It offers stunning coastal views, delicious Caribbean cuisine, and traditional Jamaican cocktails. Visitors can witness cliff divers jumping off the 35-foot-high cliffs and enjoy breathtaking sunsets over the Caribbean Sea. This popular spot attracts guests from all over Jamaica for its unique atmosphere and unforgettable experiences such as cliff jumping, live music, and themed pool parties.
It was my first time at Rick's Cafe. The scenic view is breathtaking and relaxing. Watching the sunset is a beautiful sight to behold. They had music going and entertaining the crowd. People were dancing and having a good time. However, this place is not for kids and / or Christians. The food was ok, service wasn't too bad either. Because it is so crowded, it took a little while to be served. We just had to wait a while to be served. This place draws a huge crowd from 12 -10pm. They have plenty of seating area, along with multiple eating areas. They have the famous cliff to jump off into the sea. Unfortunately, I wasn't built for that one. No cliff jumping for me. Of course, my husband loves that type of scene and would love to go back. Overall, it's a little vibes within itself. Watching the sunset and drinking a nice cold beer is not bad at all.

Dare I say overpriced and overhyped? 🤔I wasn’t impressed to say the least and the “journey” to get here was turbulent. I’d recommend driving vs. the catamaran but it also depends on the vibe you want. Service here tho was lackluster and slow. The food was not worth the price albeit good. I think if you’re going for the music and party vibes and not so much the food and service, you’d have a great time. I was really looking forward to the food more than anything else so I was incredibly disappointed. It is a cultural asset of sorts so it’s worth a visit just know you may be disappointed. The views however are a different story. Very nicely situated with amazing views of the water.. that I really enjoyed.

Breathtaking Views, Fun Vibes — But a Bit Too Touristy This spot definitely delivers when it comes to scenery and entertainment. The cliff diving was amazing to watch — such a thrill! The pool overlooking the ocean is absolutely stunning and makes for a perfect backdrop to just relax and soak it all in. Live entertainment added great energy and made the whole experience feel lively and fun. The food, however, was just average — nothing memorable, and definitely not the highlight. Overall, it was a good time, but the place did feel overly touristy and a bit commercial, which took away some of the authenticity. Worth checking out for the views and atmosphere, but don’t expect a local hidden gem.

In Montego Bay, Jamaica, there are numerous dining options to explore. Scotchies is a renowned spot where visitors can savor the authentic flavors of Jamaican jerk chicken cooked over wood from the allspice tree. The restaurant's traditional grilling method imparts delicious flavors to the meats. Additionally, Mystic Thai offers a taste of Thailand in Montego Bay for those seeking authentic Thai cuisine.
Was a great experience for our larger party, all food was brought out in good timing and was hot and deliciously seasoned. I’d recommend this spot to anyone visiting the Montego Bay area. Bathrooms were clean and well kept. Real Caribbean/Jamaican food and tropical vibes all around. Prices were around $400-$600 Jamaican per meal which is about $2-$3 US. Service was impeccable and restaurant was clean and is mostly outdoor seating with a lot of tropical shade

To all my fellow culinary enthusiast and west Indians I'm sorry to disappoint with my review. With that being said I'm happy I went just to say I had the opportunity to visit the world famous Scotchies. The chicken was absolutely bland and the rice and peas as well. Festivals were okay. There were 7 of us and unfortunately we all had the same opinion. Service fast and friendly and they will tell you in the prices in American dollars if you are paying with US dollars. I believe they did that for the Canadian travelling with us as well. Have patience and learn to adapt to island time. Take time to support the Local economy ☺️

We have been here a number of times over the years. It’s is very close to where we stay and it is easy to get to. We normally take a taxi but have driven ourselves here too. The staff are very friendly and the service was quite fast, except the fish that came after we had finished. The level of jerk is accessible for those who are not great with spice, but there are sauces on the table which are explosive! If you want to raise the level. The pork was the best in our opinion and we ordered more. The restaurant is next to the road which is quite loud, it adds to the experience, but it’s not a quiet eating location. Worth visiting to escape a hotel bubble.

Without a doubt, this is the best Scotchies on the island! The flavors of the jerk chicken and pork are absolutely amazing—each bite is packed with a perfect blend of spices and smoky goodness that leaves you craving more.

For those seeking an adrenaline rush, there are options for canopy expeditions, offering a thrilling ziplining experience from the top to the bottom of the falls.
Beautiful and so serene. The waterfalls and hot springs make for a very relaxing time. The entire park is very luscious and green, it’s so relaxing and peaceful. Not as crowded when we went. You access to the entire park, not just the waterfalls. So you could walk around, get in the water and just spend your entire day here. I really enjoyed it. I booked through a tour company so I’m not sure how the experience is if you go by yourself.

YS Falls is one of the premier falls in Jamaica, and with good reason. It’s one of the most professionally run establishments I’ve been to in the country. Everything is orderly, on time, well maintained and very reasonably priced. The falls is beautiful and has lifeguards at every level. There is a pool at the base of the falls, picking tables about the grass, and even food being sold. There is zip lining and rope swings. In terms of crowds, I recommend going early. By midday there will be hundreds of people milling about. AVOID holidays, as it will be unbelievably busy.

The river was running fast, and was brown due to rain. However, it was still so beautiful!!! When you get to the gate, you pay admission, then ride a bus to the falls. Once there, theres a gift shop with small lockers available for $5. But once you open it, you have to take your items or pay another $5 to keep it. There are also changing rooms, bathrooms, and places to sit. Overall a very nice place, with the most beautiful scenery.

We only got about 1-1.5 hrs here. Would reccomend spending the whole day here. Admission fee of 22.00. Tourist trap but worth it if you plan to spend the whole day there. They have a pool below of natural fresh water from the falls with pool chairs and lifeguard etc. so you can spend time swimming/ relaxing/ playing in the falls. Lots of local plants/ gardens/ animal life like snails. YS falls has about 3 tiers and good supply of gushing water. You can’t get to the top most tier walking. They only let you go up to the 2nd tier. However, on the 2nd tier/ pool, there are two ropes. One that you can swing and jump off of from a platform (they tell you when to jump) and a 2nd one that you can also jump off of into more shallow water or just swing on it. I was told it is less popular so less crowded than Dunns River falls which is nice. The attendants were really helpful in helping us take photos, helping us walk through the falls (had us join hands together for safety). Small gift shop but overpriced items. You can do zip lining or tubing for additional fees. Seemed like ziplining was an additional 60.00. Would definitely go again

The journey to get there is totally worth it! The landscapes, The pool, and services were more than adequate if you don't want to be in the falls. Only wish they stayed open a little longer.

Pure magic. From the scenic drive in to the moment you step onto the property, everything feels like a postcard come to life. The falls are breathtaking and the natural pools are perfect for a refreshing swim. The staff was kind, helpful, and made the experience feel safe and fun. We loved that it wasn’t overly crowded, and the balance of adventure and relaxation was perfect. Everything was clean, organized, and well taken care of. This place captures the heart and beauty of Jamaica—highly recommend making it part of your trip!

Mayfield Falls & Mineral Springs is a captivating natural attraction nestled in the mountains of Jamaica, offering a serene and rejuvenating experience for nature enthusiasts. Visitors can immerse themselves in the healing mineral spring waters and explore two waterfalls, numerous water pools, and charming gazebos set against breathtaking backdrops. This crowd-free oasis allows guests to climb into the cool river surrounded by lush bamboo thickets, swim through an underwater tunnel, and enjoy the invigorating natural Jacuzzi created by the falls.
Visit this spot! It’s so amazing - we think it’s much much better than Dunns River. It’s more off the beaten path but less touristy and a true glimpse of Jamaica’s beauty. We had a taxi take us from Grand Palladium and then a local Mayfields guide - Shane - walked us through the falls. He was so fun and knowledgeable. He was one of the best guides we’ve ever had on any tour ever. We 100% recommend!

Bring water shoes!!! Our only annoyance was having to pay $7 each to rent icky torn up water shoes on top of the $25 entry fee. You can’t do the excursion without and wish we read about this in advance. The experience itself was great. Our guide Dave was friendly and welcoming and took nice photos of us during the hike. Request him. The waters were cool and refreshing and it was a nice day away from the bustling beach. We didn’t run into anyone else at all during our hike so it felt very special. Our legs were quite sore the next day so we definitely needed this little workout!

When I say Dave was such a phenomenal guide, that is understatement. From making sure we had anything we requested from fresh pineapple and coconut water, it was prepared.

Magical, Unique, and Forever in My Heart I’ve been coming to Jamaica since I was a kid, and now at 40, I can confidently say that Mayfield Falls is one of the most magical and unique places on the island. No matter how many times I visit, I’m always in awe. The spiritual and breathtaking nature walk through the river is like nothing else — it’s peaceful, healing, and full of natural beauty. Every step feels like a reset for the soul. And the food! There’s a lady who has been working there for years, and let me tell you, her cooking is hands down some of the most amazing food you’ll ever taste in Jamaica. Authentic, flavorful, and made with love — it’s unforgettable. I honestly can’t say enough about how much I love this place. Mayfield Falls will always be a part of my Jamaican story, and I’ll never stop telling people how special it is.

This was a very beautiful and exciting excursion. The water was cool and water flow /current was strong but thankfully we had Super David - our very knowledgeable and impressive guide who helped us to negotiate the quarter of mile tour. David advised us of every single crevice and hole to avoid and exactly where to step safely. David knew the falls like the back of his hand. David was reassuring, funny and friendly guide who was safety conscious. Plus he took priceless pictures of us at various stages of the tour. If you need to do this tour David is the man Big up yourself David - One Love

We drive because we had rental car but anybody can go there by a car or having a local guide take you there also there is a $25 entrance fee per person. The good part of this place is once you come out after the excursion they also offer a meal and the prices are affordable. The people over there the guides are really knowledgeable and when you go through the falls, it’s really easy. It’s not a very dangerous or complicated hike, but after the excursion the way back coming up has a kind of a steep walk so if you are not good walking steep Hill. This will be a challenge for you. Our guide Andray was amazing, friendly and very patient and took our time and privacy. Also he also showed us about a lime stone massage that we applied on our whole bodies (kind of mudd full with minerals that are good for the skin). The visit to a breathtaking natural waterfall in Jamaica was nothing short of magical surrounded by tropical greenery and soothing sound of cascade water. This hidden gym offered a perfect escape into nature the crystal clear water with refreshing, cool and making it an ideal spot to swim and relax. Overall, visiting this natural wonder was unforgettable experience that left me feeling rejuvenated and connected to Jamaica’s incredible beauty. I can’t wait to return.

Nestled in the tropical rainforest of Portland, Jamaica, Reach Falls is a serene and scenic park that boasts the largest natural waterfall on the island. This hidden gem was discovered by runaway slaves and has since become a peaceful paradise for visitors to swim, hike, and explore the lush rainforest. The 65-foot-wide waterfall cascades into an emerald river pool surrounded by hanging vines and bamboo.
Reach Falls is truly a breath of fresh air! Though I didn’t make it all the way to the big falls, the scenic walk and refreshing small pools made it more than worth it. The natural beauty and peaceful vibe were everything I needed. Definitely planning to return and make it to the top next time!

Escape the coastal heat and venture into the captivating Blue Mountains, Jamaica's highest mountain range. These rugged peaks offer a refreshing change of scenery, with lush landscapes and breathtaking views at every turn. The area is renowned for its production of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, grown on verdant hills that form the longest mountain chain on the island. Driving through this picturesque region reveals small coffee plantations offering tours and opportunities to purchase this world-famous coffee.
If you plan to visit Blue Mountains for the day then I would highly recommend going from the Portland side. Hike through the mountains; see the coffee farms and flora. Go swimming at the waterfalls within the mountain and do some biking downhill for some thrills. If you plan to stay overnight, then I would travel from the Mavis Bank side and stay at one of the cabins there. Going to the peak of the mountain is a must and I would recommend hiking as early as possible to catch the sunrise. I've been too many times and I'm sure I'll be visiting again soon.

Away from the hustle and bustle of life and into pure nature. Scenic views at every turn. Indigenous plants only unique to Jamaica. Temp was 11c, didn't sweat once while there. Water was Ice cold if you ask me. The trail was long, arduous, hard on the knees and feet. Reaching the peak was worth it. Very satisfying and breathtaking. Major Letdown: GARBAGE along the trails and at cabin. Very disheartening to see just beauty being disregarded like that.

The gallery, which showcases local paintings and crafts, is surrounded by terraced gardens that attract a variety of birds. Visitors can enjoy the botanical garden as well as learn about the history and culture of the area. The attraction has become known for its unique atmosphere and is highly regarded among those who appreciate gardens and art.
We had a wonderful time. The garden is stunning and the family who built it are so welcoming. The art they have created is beautiful and we had a home cooked meal. They can also connect you with a driver. Highly recommend, especially if you are interested in supporting the local communities.

This experience is a gem! I originally booked on Airbnb and had the host was so kind and understanding when I needed to reschedule my booking. This garden is run by a creative family trio and their talents in art and passion for botany shines through every aspect of the tour. They are also incredibly warm and welcoming, and very knowledgeable of the flora and birds - you will leave relaxed and well-informed. Ahhh...Ras natango Gallery and Garden was a fantastic and fun activity as a solo explorer but I could also see this being a really cute daytime date. As a bonus, there are some fun hidden gems for kids to discover along the way in the garden. The views are beautiful, the birds are friendly, fountain is meditative and photos don't quite capture the magic – you need to experience it for yourself!

This garden is a well-hidden treasure of biodiversity and humanity. It's an entire experience. The owners and their son together taught us the history of the place and their interactions with the people of Montego Bay, the different plants, how to behave in nature (with a touch of spirituality). There are plenty of pieces of art spread out inside the garden, and so much creativity it makes you want to become an artist. If you want to purchase the owners' work, there is a gallery at the end of the tour. Both of the owners are very talented. The place is suitable for children too. I will let the owners tell you why :) The lovely humming birds accompany you during your journey, and they don't hesitate to perch on your hand (you won't ever forget the sensation). The place is so quiet and relaxing, you will return refreshed. The garden is very well maintained and the diversity of it is exceptional. If you come to Jamaica, you should definitely go there!

I recently booked this tour through Airbnb Experiences at $35 USD per person. The Airbnb platform made payment and communication easy, and Tamika was prompt and responsive to any questions we had. We even ended up rescheduling our tour due to heavy rains, and she handled it smoothly. Upon arrival, we drove up a steep and narrow road to reach the property. The view was breathtaking, making the journey well worth it. We found parking on the main road at the base of the driveway to the property. Parking on the driveway is not permitted. We walked up the steep driveway and Tamika welcomed us into the gate, as we joined other guests in the sitting area to hear Ras regale us with captivating stories about the property's growth and his artistic journey, leaving us inspired. Tamika guided us through the property, sharing her extensive knowledge about the flora and fauna. We were greeted by friendly hummingbirds and had the opportunity to feed them out of our hands. The property was teeming with dozens of these remarkable creatures, some with the most gorgeous, long tails we’d ever seen. You haven’t lived until you’ve felt a hummingbird land on your finger! After the guided tour of the lush and vibrant property, Ras welcomed us into the gallery/gift shop. His artwork and crafts were on display and available for purchase. After visiting the gift shop, we took our time exploring the diverse plant and tree life, admiring Ras' whimsical painted rocks, sculptures, and natural benches carved from stone and wood. The vibrant colors of the flowers and the peaceful ambiance awakened all our senses. We found the hammocks to be a perfect haven for contemplation and relaxation. The view from the hammocks has to be seen to be believed. Throughout the experience, Tamika and Ras provided excellent hospitality. They offered nature-safe bug repellent and umbrellas for shade. Overall, this 2–3-hour excursion provides a memorable experience for all ages. This property is romantic for couples, educational for families, and safe for singles. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for walking and climbing stairs. Consider using your voice memo app to record ambient sound to enjoy later. And of course, take lots and lots of photos!

Luminous Lagoon Glistening Waters is a must-visit in Jamaica, offering boat and swimming tours in a bioluminescent bay with a rich history tied to the Jamaican sugar trade. The glowing waters are caused by microorganisms called dinoflagellates, creating a rare and mesmerizing natural phenomenon where the Martha Brae river meets the ocean.
Really wonder place to visit, you are given a warm welcome upon arrival. You are offered welcome drinks and have the opportunity to choose between rum punch or fruit punch for those who don’t drink alcoholic beverages. The boarding process is easy, you are given a safety jacket, you learn about lagoon and what makes it glow. You get the chance to swim and take pictures which are absolutely beautiful.

The Luminous Lagoon tour was a really cool experience and definitely something worth seeing. The water actually glows when you move through it, which is wild to witness in person. It’s one of those things you kind of have to see to believe. That being said, the venue itself was pretty average—nothing too special. The staff were friendly and did their best to keep everyone entertained while we waited for the tour to start, but it did feel a bit like they were just filling time. Once we got out on the water, though, it was absolutely worth it. Watching the water light up around us was really unique, and it made for some awesome pictures and memories. If you’re in the area, I’d say it’s definitely worth checking out. It’s not an all-night event, but it’s a very cool and interesting place to visit.

Beautiful sunset. I had had the fried chicken with rice and peas at their restaurant. The fish soup was delicious and it came with my meal. The bread was perfectly warm, for the butter to melt. Before going on the tour, they had some dancers perform on stage. They were very entertaining! We booked the Luminous Lagoon tour and got to see some bioluminescence and even swam in the water! They provide life jackets in case you don’t swim well. Captain Dave was funny and made sure that we all got there and back safely.

The water actually glows when you move through it, which is amazing to witness in person. Before visiting, I’d heard stories about it, but experiencing it firsthand was almost surreal. The venue itself was okay—nothing fancy or special. The staff did their best to keep us entertained with a dance show while we waited for the boat. Once we got out on the water, though, the wait was absolutely worth it. Watching the lagoon light up around us as we swam was incredible! The water is shallow, no more than 4 feet, so you can literally stand in it. The captain and crew were very friendly and informative, and life jackets were provided for those who couldn’t swim. If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

A very short bus ride away from the RIU Aquarelle and Royalton. I recommend this excursion if you are nearby. We went as a large group, which resulted in having our own boat. We were welcomed with a rum punch and proceeded to watch the sunset as we waited to embark on our boat ride. The captain and crew entertained us with the history and facts of what makes the lagoon luminous, along with their funny stories, jokes, and marital advice. The water is colder than you might expect. On our return we watched the fire show, which was good.

There are only four places in the world where you can do this. We were staying at the Riu Aquarelle and it is 5 minutes from there. So we had to go.

Very magical and unique experience close to mobay. Similar to one in Puerto Rico, but with much less travel and bonus fire show. And they take you to out on the boat, so no strenuous activity, either. You absolutely have to wear water shoes for this activity as it's shallow enough for you to walk in this depth. And no, you don't need to know how to swim to go on this excursion.
Lana D — Google review
Absolutely worth it! So excited I finally got to see the bioluminescent algae, and actually swim in it. Included is a free drink and a fire show before the boat goes out. I'm glad I bought my ticket directly and got my own transportation from the hotel, instead of going through a tour group... So much cheaper. Also, yes you're going to wait until it gets dark. For us that was over an hour--it depends on what time you get there. But either way it was still worth it

It's also famous for its jerk stands serving up spicy jerk food and sauce, considered the finest in Jamaica.

Perfect little beach in a secluded bay. There's plenty to do and see around but the beach is what it should be all about if you're visiting here. J$200/US$2 entrance fee. Best place for surfing in Portland with ample boards lying around (obviously not the best) quoted at a J$3000 hourly rate, which is a bit expensive (I'd say it would be a fair price for two hours) but negotiable if you rent it longer. Whatever you get, don't let the price keep you away from the surf! 🤙

A lot of garbage and brown kelp on the beach made it less pleasant for swimming and sunbathing. However it does have decent (but small) waves if you want to learn to surf (surf school is located right on the beach). Entry fee is $300JMD per person and they have bathrooms and a parking lot

The National Gallery of Jamaica, the oldest and largest public art gallery in the Anglophone Caribbean, offers a diverse collection of Jamaican and Caribbean art. The museum features permanent displays from renowned Jamaican artists like Cecil Baugh and Edna Manley, as well as rotating temporary exhibits showcasing local, regional, and international talent. Located on the Kingston waterfront, this cultural hub provides guided tours and programs while also hosting free admission events on the last Sunday of each month.
Art is the measure of a countries social and cultural intelligence. An educational experience that showcases some of Jamaica’s most prolific an artists and the need for successive generations to learn from the past and continue on a rich artistic legacy.

It's a very interesting place to visit. Every Jamaican should at least see this place once, just to see the creations of various Jamaican artists. My only wish is that they should include more works from the rastafarian community as well as recent works from young up and coming artists. But aside from that, this place is great. The entire building is air conditioned and some parts of the floor are carpeted. Also there are seats provided to take a break. It costs only JMD$400 for adults to enter

Fort Charles, located in the sleepy fishing village of Port Royal, is a historic fort dating back to the 1650s. Once known as the pirate capital of the Caribbean, this site offers guided tours and a small museum where visitors can learn about its intriguing past. The fort's battlements are still lined with cannons from centuries ago, providing a glimpse into its defensive history. Additionally, visitors can explore the Giddy House artillery store, which is tilted at an angle due to historical events.
This land has history and herstory! It was great to learn about the pirates of the Caribbean and how soldiers back in the day defended our Port Royal border. This tour has many gems for all to hear and the giddy house is something for the books! It's sways you and makes you feel the energy trapped there for an eternity from January of 1907. Ms Janice our tour guide, was lovely! She was born and raised in Port Royal. She has remained there all her life, and it was awesome of her to share this journey with us. As always, I would encourage anyone to show support to their tour guides. And appreciate them taking time to share with you.

I made a day trip to Port Royal in November with my sister and went to explore the Fort. As a local the entry price is JMD$ 1,500. It was a good experience, I was afraid it might be too "educational" but it was a nice, quick trip back in time. Our guide Charmaine was great, super knowledgeable, very friendly, even helped us to find the right angles and moments for a picture or video. Ask for her when you go!

Very unique and cool history. Half the place went under and the other half came up. Also, the tilted building is pretty cool. But I was surprised by the cannon that actually moves up and down. You do have to buy tickets around the corner. I wouldn’t tell you to go out of your way for it, but if there’s time it wouldn’t hurt to check it out .

I visited the fort as part of a school-sponsored trip. It was really interesting. The tour guide was knowledgeable and taught us all about the history of the fort while giving us a guided tour. I really enjoyed walking around and learning about the different landmarks and seeing them up close. You get to walk around the fort just like the soldiers that once lived there. You will enjoy this tour especially if you are a history buff or just interested in learning about Jamaica's history.

Staff very helpful and tour was excellent. They even break open almonds for you. There was no one else there on a Sunday, which allowed a private tour, beautiful day and excellent guide to tell the history. Go there, learn, and experience a 450 year old jut of land.

The Black River Safari Tours offer a chance to connect with nature and learn about the diverse species that inhabit the area, including birds and crocodiles. The boat tour provides an opportunity to observe these creatures in their natural habitat while also learning about the geography, ecology, and history of the region. For those seeking more adventure, Montego Bay's jungle safari tours take visitors deep into Jamaica's rainforests to witness abundant wildlife, including the possibility of encountering crocodiles.
Great experience. Tour guides are fantastic. Their knowledge is great. You get to see crocodiles up close and are able to hold them in the nursery. Approx 2 hours in total for the whole tour and good for all ages

The Black River Safari tour was a great experience & I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a SAFE thrill. We arrived not knowing what to expect but the receptionist explained the tour which alleviated all fears. The tour lasts for 1 h 15 mins & is split into 2 sections (1 hour on a decent sized boat which depends on the crew size & 15 mins in the nursery). During our tour we met crocodiles which the tour guide fed & sometimes stroke, wild birds that prey on baby crocodiles & some fishes. The tour guide was very knowledgeable & embraced all questions, we definitely got a history lesson too. The nursery houses small turtles & baby crocodiles that are unable to hunt . Great experience & would recommend it to all.

I enjoyed my time on the water and learning about the flora and fauna native to Jamaica. Some parts felt like Narnia in real life. I found the upside down hanging trees pretty fascinating and the vastness of the water with both mountain and forest views were particularly captivating. The staff were welcoming. There’s a snack store onsite which seemed to be on the expensive side. The “nursery” with the baby crocodiles and turtles were rather underwhelming and high key concerning. The water they’re being nursed in was very dirty and looked unkept.

Swim with Dolphins
Dolphin Cove Ocho Rios is a must-visit marine attraction in the Caribbean, offering the unique opportunity to swim with dolphins in their natural habitat. Located near Ocho Rios and Dunns River Falls, this attraction allows visitors to interact with sharks, swim with stingrays, and enjoy activities like glass bottom kayaking and relaxing on the beach.
Dolphin Cove was such a great experience for my little family. We had an exception time sharing an encounter with the dolphins. Trainer Ronaldo and Dolphin Pasteur were absolutely amazing!! I cannot recommend this pair enough. They made my family's day. We also got to swim, get some food and see Stingrays and Nurse Sharks. I wish we could have walked the trail before we had to leave. Would definitely do this experience again.
Alexis B — Google review
The overall experience with the dolphins was great and the trainers were awesome. The setup of the entire premises was great I think It needs a little more polish. You have to park on the roadside but the shoulder on that side of the road was very wide so you are well off the road. The staff were all very nice and friendly. We had a good time at the mini zoo before the dolphin experience. There was a small beach where you could do kayaking, but the beach was very small and wasn't clean and I think given the facilities they had the beach could be made into a better experience. There seemed to be multiple restaurants and bars but they didn't all seem to be open when we were there. The water slide was not working at the time when were there. The pool seemed like it could have been cleaner and it looked like only 1 pump on the pool was working. The children seemed to love the pool though. The rates for the photos was high and I think the all or nothing approach to the photos needs to be looked at. They could possibly come up with a per photo pricing and allow you to choose the best 1 or 2 if you can't afford all the photos for everyone similar to what they do at mystic mountain. The food was a little on the expensive side and the burger and fries was very ordinary for the price. The did have a lunch special though for JMD $1300 which was actually very good and it was a decent portion size.

The dolphin experience was unforgettable...definitely would go back. Love that they had other activities on the property...my only concern was the slippery tiles. The tiles in the restaurant was slippery, the ones leading to the lobby area, to the bathroom. Everyone kept slipping. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT. But overall my family enjoyed the experience.

This was my second visit to Dolphin Cove, and I can see they've made a lot of improvements since my first visit many years ago. The place is very scenic, and the dolphin experience is absolutely top tier. It was a bit scary walking on the platform and getting into the water, but overall, it was an incredible interaction. That said, the staff experience left much to be desired. Almost all of the workers were not pleasant. There was an undertone in their attitude and a bit of roughness in how they spoke to guests. One staff member even told the man in front of me that she would laugh if he fell, and she repeatedly told people to turn back if they were afraid instead of reassuring them that they would be okay and that their life jackets would help. The platform in the water was also very slippery, which made it even more nerve-wracking. Despite that, I’m really glad my nieces pushed through their fear and went into the water. The pool area is lovely and provides a nice space for children to relax and play under supervision. They also have a restaurant and an ice cream parlor, though I didn't visit them. In the bird aviary, the men working there seemed uninterested and disengaged. I hate to think their attitude was due to us being locals, as I know many don’t tip, though I did. The lobby area was crowded and poorly managed, and again, the staff at registration were not welcoming. The beach area is very small, but the waterslide was lovely and fun. Despite the poor attitude from many of the staff, I would return for the experience itself and the beautiful surroundings.
Shantel M — Google review
The dolphin interaction was fun and fairly priced compared to other Caribbean locations. However, the extras were excessive $230 for photos for a family of 4 (no phones/cameras allowed), $10 locker fee, $5 Coke ($10 with card), and only one lunch option included wasn’t even good. The water slide was closed, and the jungle trail consisted of just 8 parrots and 1 iguana. The music was also unnecessarily blasting for a kid-friendly park, especially right by the dolphins. To top it off, after paying for the pricey photo package, the photographer still asked for a tip. Disappointing add-ons to an otherwise enjoyable activity.

Very poor experience. Booked via Royalton/Nexus. Advertised to include. Snorkeling with manta rays, jungle tour see the snakes, kayak, glass bottom boat and shark show. None of this was available on the day. Arrived told to wait around for 2 hours. $10 to use a locker. Very clear you must have one as theft if very likely. 30 mins with as a group with dolphins. (That bit is great) But can't help feeling the site is so small for them! Add in the high pressure photo sale at $60each. Zero response from Royalton/Nexus. A mega let down, left feeling abused by the service. Loved my holiday but this really did ruin the day

Horrible experience save your money this is a tourist trap. The staff is rude, misgendered my 5 year old son after being told multiple times he was a boy. I understand patwa so I heard the negative comments about my son and my body. They will try to squeeze every single penny you have out of you. I originally booked for the admissions plus for two adults and one child under 5. That was $137 total plus tax. It said online it included the mini jungle, sting ray , beach , water slide , kayaking, and food We received a purple wristband, we continued on to the gift shop the lady looked at us and her exact words were “ ok so you got that band ? The cheaper one. “ she then tried to sale me three pictures with the dolphin on a platform for $20 dollars each. It’s three of us that’s $60 dollars. I asked can we just take one family photo i didn’t need three pictures of us individually I just wanted one family picture she said no. I told my husband If we’re going to add the $60 dollars for three pictures we might as well just pay for the dolphin encounter. We went back downstairs and upgraded our tickets. My husband has a Jamaican passport, he presented his passport and he did not receive the local rate btw. I was told it would be $18 per person to upgrade the ticket to the dolphin encounter that’s a pink band. I paid $18x3 which I didn’t understand why I had to pay to upgrade my child who is under 5 when 1-5 years old is free with two paying adults Anyways. I was then told it would be $65 per person to add on photos and these photos are only digital no print outs. So we paid $195 for 3 shots per person. When your in the water you do three poses and they snap a shot of all three so your paying $65 for 3 digital shots. Which is ridiculous When you do the dolphin encounter they split you off into groups based off your wristbands. If you purchase the royal swimmer band they treat you like gold. Or if you’re white they treat you even better because they know you are going to tip them. We paid a total of $386 dollars for about 15 mins in the water with the dolphin. It was very rushed you do three poses with the dolphin and they give you education of the dolphin. And at the end of your experience our instructor asked for a tip. Which I was confused because after paying $386 dollars you shouldn’t be pressured to tip. We went to the mini jungle we saw two rabbits , the birds and an iguana. I was told if my son wanted to touch the birds or if we wanted to take a picture of the birds we had to tip. When we went to see the iguana and the bigger birds the instructor was sleep on the bench we woke him up and he told us if my son wanted to hold the iguana or if we wanted a picture with it we had to tip. At this point I was annoyed because everywhere we went we were pressured for tips after already paying a lot. The stingrays were cool but again after seeing the stingrays our instructor asked for a tip. Sharks weren’t available Kayaking wasn’t available The small beach has cabanas that were dirty. We arrived at 9am opening time so the beach should have been cleaned. The beach is also big rocks so you can’t step in. The meal Included was a piece of chicken rice and peas and veggies no drink. When I asked for my included drink the bartender told me I would have to hide it so others don’t ask. Just an overall horrible experience and complete waste of money. Mystic Mountain was wayyyy better you aren’t pressured for tips staff are friendly and will take pictures of you with your phone for free. I tried to take photos of the tip trays The manager was also not available either.

Margaritaville Montego Bay, established in 1995 by local entrepreneurs Brian Jardim and Ian Dear, is a vibrant destination located on Gloucester Avenue at the heart of the Hip Strip in Montego Bay, Jamaica. This lively spot offers an array of local and international cuisine, refreshing drinks, and live entertainment for visitors to enjoy with friends or family.
We only got smiles and good vibes from the hostess. The male waiter was emotionless and unapproachable. We got the fried fish, it comes with rice and ripe yellow plantains. I mean, the plantains were over ripe which was a great experience since it’s been the only place that offer them on point. The kitchen closed and the waiter didn’t inform us. He didn’t even ask if we needed anything else prior the closure. He brought the bill and didn’t ask if we needed a second round of drinks. We paid the bill. We kept the table. I was able to get drinks from the bar. The ambience was lit on a Thursday night. You don’t pay an admission fee if you were already there prior the party time. So now you know: Come around 9:15 pm, get your food and keep your table. People starts coming from 10:30 pm.

This place was pretty dope! The food was pretty good. I went to celebrate birthdays with friends. They came out and sang happy birthday to them, and offered them either key lime pie or rum cake with ice-cream. I think they enjoyed that. I had the jambalaya, and my lady had the red snapper dish. I cant remember what the other two people had, but they said their food was good too. Our waiter named Paige was super friendly and very helpful! If I ever go back, im requesting to sit at her table. We sat by the water as night began to fall. The view of the sunset was amazing! I wish we could've went on a Thursday night. I heard it was jamming for ladies night.

During my recent cruise stop in Ocho Rios, I had the chance to visit Margaritaville, and overall, it was a solid experience. Pros: Quick 10 min walk from the port. The drinks are very affordable, especially considering the location. It's nice to have a budget-friendly option when you're docked in a touristy area. You get access to the beach for free as long as you purchase food or drinks, which is a great deal. The beach itself was clean, and the water was beautiful—perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sun. Cons: The beach area is on the smaller side, so it can get crowded quickly. It didn’t detract from the experience, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re hoping for more space. The bathrooms could definitely use some attention. They weren’t as clean as I would’ve liked, which was a bit of a downside.

The smoke they sell here isn't that strong though so if you're interested in that and need something stronger I'd recommend stopping at a dispensary first.

This was a beautiful place and it was nice to learn new things about this incredible music legend and his family. I'd recommend this for the experience for sure.

This was a great experience. Very humbling to see the roots of Bob Marley. Tour guide ‘Captain Crazy’ was informative and entertaining. We visited when my wife was pregnant so had to climb lots of stairs and the smell of Marijuana while expected can be overwhelming at times. Getting there is also fun but challenging (again because of the pregnancy) the entire drive up to Nine Miles is hilly and curvy, so be prepared for motion sickness. Other than that it’s a great tour of the legends birthplace and final resting place.

Going to the Bob Marley village in Nine Mile was more than just a sightseeing trip; it was a pilgrimage. It's an experience that truly connects you to the heart and soul of Jamaica and the man who put reggae on the world stage. The drive itself was an adventure, winding through the beautiful Jamaican countryside and offering a glimpse of local life outside of the resorts. When we arrived, the energy was incredible. Our Rastafarian guide, with his easy smile and deep knowledge, brought Bob's story to life. He showed us the small, humble house where Bob was born and spent his early years, and it was surreal to walk through the rooms and see the space where his life and musical journey began. We got to see "Mt. Zion Rock," the sacred spot where Bob would meditate and write songs. The feeling of being in the very place that inspired some of the world's most iconic music was truly powerful. The whole atmosphere was filled with a sense of peace and a fun, laid-back vibe. It was a day of laughter, learning, and feeling the "one love" spirit that Bob Marley shared with the world. It was an unforgettable and deeply moving experience that gave me a whole new appreciation for his music and his message.

The roads are not the best getting their and the locals can be a bit pushy to buy things but worth the whole journey once visited.

Wayneisha is the BEST. I was so afraid initially and she put me right at ease. Thanks for an amazing afternoon. Shouts to the chef and his companion. First time I tried chicken curry pasta! Yes I know it sounds weird, but it was good.

Such a beautiful place! Fun and exhilarating to jump to your certain death! 🤣 took some time to work up the courage but I did it! Also fun to lounge around down there in the cool waters on the inner tubes they have for shared use. They also have life jackets, a lifeguard, a bar and waiting area for drivers, and an optional weed farm tour. Entry fee was $20 usd per person for the blue hole. Very nice staff and term clean and well organized! it is a small place so if you have a couple of large groups it would be crowded very quickly. The entry road was small and rough, and despite what Uber says, no one will pick you up to take you there! You have to find a driver who will take you and wait or go with a tour group. I would recommend just going w/ a taxi so there aren't automatically a ton of other people there

It's smaller than we expected but worth the drive! The water is refreshing and there are several heights to jump from or a ladder to climb down. There's also a mineral water fed swimming pool, a bar and a restaurant. It was a highlight for us and I highly recommend it.

The Blue Hole Mineral Spring was a fun experience. It is $20 per person to swim, so a total of $40 for the two of us. It is a little remote like 40 min drive from West End Negril where we were staying and the road for about the second half of the drive is fairly narrow with a lot of pot holes. We had a little Toyota with small wheels so I would recommend a car with larger wheels or better would be an SUV if you drive yourself like we did. If you’re only interested in the Blue Hole itself like we were then you prob only need 30 min to an hour there as it is just the one hole to jump into/swim and it isn’t extremely large. The jumps are roughly 20 to 30 ft depending on which side of the hole you jump from. Overall it was a fun and adventurous experience (including the drive) especially if you like to jump from high places like we do. It was $40 total for us since we already had the car, but it might be a little expensive if you need to hire a driver/taxi plus admission.

Visited early on a Sunday so there was no waiting to get in. Our guide was patient and helped us with the climb up the river. Not sure what I expected but this is not a calm river and the pools are deep judging by the color of the water It’s a dark deep blue. The water was cold as river water always is. Beautiful place would definitely visit again.

This is not an activity or site worth $20. Simply to walk around they charge $10 and to swim it is $20 per person. It is a literal hole. There is not much around either. The best part was a view from the top of the house but even that is skippable at $10 entry fee. Do not waste your time driving to this site.

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with J. Charles Swaby's Black River Safari, where nature comes alive! This guided boat tour invites you to explore the enchanting mangrove forests of Jamaica, teeming with wildlife. As you glide through the serene waters, keep your eyes peeled for fascinating sightings like crocodiles and egrets, along with a variety of exotic birds.
Nice tour in search of crocodile in Black River. The service is good and the value is worth it. We saw 6 different crocodiles and some birds.
Stefano ( — Google review
This was our first time visiting the Swaby Black River Safari and we were warmly welcomed by the lovely lady at the ticket desk—so polite and friendly. We then set off with our captain, Cornell, who was incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much about the crocodiles, the Black River, the local wildlife and plant life, as well as the history and surroundings of St. Elizabeth and neighbouring Trelawny. Everyone on our tour had a fantastic time—Cornell kept us entertained with fun trivia and nonstop jokes. We were able to interact with the adult crocodiles and touch them. After the tour, we got to see baby turtles and hold the baby crocodiles. Honestly, this is one of the best experiences I’ve had in Jamaica. We absolutely loved it!

There is adequate parking, the waiting area needs improvement, the entrance and the area to buy the ticket seemed incomplete. The bathrooms looked newly renovated and everywhere including the bathroom was clean. For the tour- I LOVED it! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and charismatic. He was very interactive with us and the crocodiles seemed like they were paid actors too! I’d definitely recommend here.

We had an excellent time with our guide! He was really funny and knowledgeable. We had a great time and saw a few crocodile. We even got to hold a young one inside the nursery. Really well worth the price of admission. We went on the 10am tour and weren't disappointed at all... ♥ 🐊

Visited here today and was able to do the 1pm tour. The staff who welcomed us were pleasant and helpful. The boat captain Daniel was very knowledgeable and funny. His knowledge and humour calmed all of us who were nervous. He had someone with him who helped to feed the crocodiles and he was very good too. You can buy tickets ahead of time but it wasn’t necessary. I’d recommend knowing the tour times so you don’t have to wait too long for the next one. We saw about 5 crocodiles too and were able to pet the baby crocs too

This boat ride wasn't on my radar but I'm so happy it included in our package. It was an exceptional experience. There's plenty of space on the boat, so every seat is really a good seat. If sitting in the sun is a concern, go for the inside seat. The river is beautiful! Being out on the water, getting a little history, and observing the animals was quite entertaining. My husband really enjoyed it to. This attraction is a hidden gem that everyone should find.

Rocklands Bird Sanctuary in Montego Bay is a tranquil garden where visitors can interact with thousands of Jamaican and migratory birds. The sanctuary has received numerous certificates of excellence and offers a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the vibrant birdlife of Jamaica, including the national bird, the Red-billed Streamertail, and the graceful Doctor Bird. Visitors can hand-feed these charming creatures while enjoying some peace and quiet in the cozy cottage.
Fantastic experience in a beautiful location overlooking MoBay. The hosts were lovely, full of information and welcoming. Feeding hummingbirds by hand is unforgettable. The taxi from your hotel is well worth it. No question.

What an amazing experience!!! It was a beautiful, educational, peaceful, and uplifting time at the sanctuary and with our guide and new friend Fritz. Walking in you see a beautiful home and property. Then we were led to the large wooden patio where you can sit and feed these beautiful birds. Besides the amazing view we were instructed on how to get the hummingbirds to land on our fingers and feed on sugar water. What a unique and wonderful experience to have the birds sitting on your fingers or on your legs that close. Meanwhile Fritz told about the history of the place and identified and told us about the birds. After we had done that for about an hour he gave us a tour of the fauna and foliage around the house. We learned about some of the medicinal benefits of the plants and enjoyed walking the property. Could not recommend this more highly.

' .Visiting Rocklands Bird Sanctuary was an exceptional experience. The sanctuary itself is a brilliant idea, set amidst stunning, tranquil scenery that makes the whole visit feel peaceful and refreshing. The staff were insightful, polite, and attentive, ensuring we had an unforgettable experience. The highlight was getting up close with the local birds, especially the hummingbirds—watching them in their natural environment was truly magical. The surrounding atmosphere added to the sense of serenity, making it a perfect escape into nature. This is a must-visit for anyone who loves wildlife, beautiful landscapes, and a genuinely immersive experience.

Wild birds (hummingbirds and others) trusting to eat out of your hand. Very unique experience. We drove there with our rental car. It was US$30/person. [I live in the US. I know Jamaica quite well as I’ve been going there often for the last 25 years. Always renting our own car. The roads have gotten better but back roads can be tricky. If you are not confident in your driving skills, including reversing down narrow bumpy roads along steep ravines have a qualified local driver take you there. These are public roads and the bird sanctuary is not responsible for their condition.]

Visiting Rocklands was one of the highlights of our trip. The sanctuary is peaceful, quiet, and tucked away from the busy tourist spots. Getting to hand-feed hummingbirds—literally have them land on your finger—was such a unique and calming experience. The staff was kind and knowledgeable, and the whole place felt personal and genuine. It's not flashy or overly touristy, and that’s what makes it special. If you’re an animal lover or just want to do something different and peaceful in Jamaica, this is totally worth the trip

Stanley's Deep Sea Fishing is highly recommended for a great experience with a knowledgeable crew. It's advised to go directly to the experts and avoid vendors who may not be equipped for deep sea fishing. The crew of the One Love fishing boat provided an enjoyable six-hour trip, catching various fish including Black Fin Tuna, Trigger fish, Blackjacks, Rainbow Runners, and even a Black Tip Shark.
We chartered the One Love fishing boat today for six hours. It started off slow but finally caught a nice Black Fin Tuna after a couples hours of trolling. Stephen and Tony spotted a bamboo tree floating a little later and that’s when the fun began! It had a ton of fish under it and it took all we had to catch one after another. We caught Trigger fish, Blackjacks, Rainbow Runners and a Black Tip Shark! Stephen and Tony really helped out and kept us on the fish. They was very informative and showed us how to hand line them without using a pole! This will be a memory for my son and I forever. Thanks Stanley's Deep Sea Fishing and everybody that works there. We had a blast!!!
Matt H — Google review
Crew was great unfortunately that side of jamaica doesn’t seem to have much fish? Better to fish the north or east shore. These guys give you more of a tour than fishing, evident by not jigging/changing bait, doing something different to attract the fish(like other companies do)etc. It was good to be on the ocean, but they aren’t that good at producing bites. Mostly just blind driving waiting for a bite. I think these guys specialize more in diving and water sports than fishing. There are better fishing companies in Jamaica, just keep looking. Also they are fairly pricey for what they deliver. Would not use them again. 2 out of 5 solely for the fishing side of the excursion. After $1000 USD all we had to show was 1 small tuna weighing 3 pounds in the boat. Again, the crew was awesome, very friendly and accomodating. 5/5 👍🏽👍🏽 Thanks captain and deckhand for the trip.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I went out with a group for deep sea fishing and it was a complete waste. They troll at ridiculously high speeds. You could literally see the lure skipping across the surface. No live bait was used, and unsurprisingly, we caught nothing. I gave them a second chance with a bottom fishing trip. We got a few bites, but they were nothing more than tiny reef fish. For about $800 total, I caught maybe three undersized fish. On top of that, I fell during the trip and ended up with a nasty bruise, not to mention getting seasick. I asked for a refund at least for the deep sea fishing, but have been strung along for over a month with no resolution. Save yourself the money and frustration. These guys clearly don’t care about their customers.

Captain Stanley’s Crew was Professional & Really Great @ what they Do. They will work hard to help you catch Fish. Unfortunately I had an off day with only 1 fish in 7 hrs but not bc of a lack of trying. Seeing Dolphins 15 miles out was an Unforgettable Experience. I’m am for Sure going back out with them again next time. Oh, They even used a smaller boat to pickup my family & add bring them to meet us. We had a Spectacular Time 🐬🐬

Great experience and great crew. I recommend that you go directly to the experts and bypass all the vendors that say they will take you deep sea fishing but not equipped to do so. I had many locals on the beach that say they can take you fishing. Ask specific questions like does your boat have a cabin and bathroom. Not just a umbrella and bucket. You don’t want to get your family out on water and find no shade and no real bathroom. We were pleased with All the staff and hospitality. Will do it again.

My exceptional day with Stanley’s Deep Sea Fishing and Water Sports surpassed all expectations, offering a seamless blend of exhilarating deep-sea fishing, serene sailing, and a delightful encounter with playful dolphins. From the outset, Stanley’s showcased their commitment to customer service, providing a convenient pick-up from my place of stay, ensuring a smooth and worry-free beginning to my sea adventure. The deep-sea fishing experience was extraordinary, with the crew’s expertise in trolling techniques leading us to success. Catching a stunning blue marlin and tuna was a thrilling highlight, adding to my global fishing experiences across Oman, South Africa, Cyprus, Ecuador, France, Australia, the USA, and many other countries. The cleanliness and maintenance of Stanley’s boat were unparalleled, standing out as the most pristine I have ever encountered in my extensive travels. Sailing on a Hobie Cat offered a more intimate and personalized adventure. With just the guide and me, we navigated the waters, fully immersed in the tranquility and beauty of the ocean. The guide’s skill ensured a safe yet thrilling experience, capturing the essence of sailing. A magical moment unfolded as a group of joyful dolphins graced us with their presence, leaping alongside the boat and adding a touch of wonder to our adventure. Stanley’s, a locally-owned operation, truly stands out for their genuine warmth and dedication to providing a memorable experience. The crew’s passion for the sea and their community shines through, creating a welcoming and professional atmosphere that feels like home. In conclusion, Stanley’s Deep Sea Fishing and Water Sports offers a comprehensive and unforgettable sea adventure, combining the thrill of deep-sea fishing, the serenity of sailing, and the joy of wildlife encounters. Their attention to detail, cleanliness, and commitment to local values make them an exceptional choice for sea enthusiasts. I wholeheartedly recommend Stanley’s, and I am grateful for the memories made during this unparalleled day at sea.

The captain does the same thing every time out, goes out for 1.5 hours turns around for the next 1.5 hours then goes a long shore for about 1 hour. No electronics, no real experience, we're serious fishermen and understand you can't always catch fish but these guys don't know anything about deep sea fishing. Don't waste your money

Greenwood Great House is an 18th-century mansion located on a hill, offering an intimate and fascinating experience. Unlike other plantation houses, Greenwood survived the Christmas 1831 slave rebellion unscathed. The estate features period-furnished rooms with authentic and remarkable antiques. It is situated around 11km east of Ironshore and approximately 10km west of Falmouth.
A very different and more personal experience at Greenwood bringing to life the family who owned it and the people who worked there. Many fascinating items and rooms to see. The guided tour was great. If driving, take the road near a fuel station as it's the most direct and has least pot holes

As Canadian tourists traveling independently—not on a cruise or staying at an all-inclusive resort—we found our visit to Greenwood Great House to be one of the most rewarding and affordable experiences of our trip. The house itself is a beautifully preserved piece of Jamaican history, filled with fascinating artifacts and stories, but what truly made the tour exceptional was our guide, Kyla. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and brought the house to life with her warm and insightful storytelling. This was easily one of the best experiences we've had in Jamaica—don’t miss it!

This was a fantastic tour by a wonderful lady who was passionate, warm and knowledgeable. The road to get there is…a bit rough. You will definitely earn your P.H.D.

There is a small bar there as well and I highly suggest having a drink after the tour and chatting with the staff.

Greenwood is one is the best preserved examples of the plantation era Jamaican Great House. Magnificent hilltop location, with wide view of the Caribbean sea. Built in late 1700s by Richard Bennett. Most of the items are authentic: furniture, antique china and silverware, crystals, oil paintings and Barrett family memorabilia, rare musical instruments, intact original library (with up to 300 books, some dated as early as 1697.) Worth a visit! Strongly recommended.

Great tour and great experience! The historical value of all the artifacts in this house is impressive! The guide was very knowledgeable and took her time with our kids. I think the only thing missing in the tour would be a moment, or sector of the tour, really dedicated to the life of the slaves in themselves, how they lived, what was their days like, etc. So to balance the opulence of the house with the actual reason they could be in such luxury by having slaves working for them. Otherwise I really recommend it it’s a different side of Jamaica different from just the fun beaches and falls.

Immerse yourself in the rich history and art of rum-making at the Appleton Estate Rum Tour. Located in a picturesque valley, this historic distillery offers guided tours that take you through over 265 years of expertise in crafting Jamaica's finest rum. Learn about the island's deep-rooted connection to rum production and witness the process firsthand.
This was such a unique, fun experience. First of all, the property itself is beautiful! So luscious and green. The tour and tasting are very well thought out and organized. There’s a buffet so we got some food to eat, which was included in our entry fee. Very delicious and leaned more home cooked. I really enjoyed the tour, they gave us a behind the scenes tour of the rum making process, and had us try the products every step of the way and ended with actual tasting of different flavors. It was great and I’d highly recommend it.

The Appleton Estate tour was a really good experience. It was interesting to see the process behind the rum-making and you could tell a lot of care goes into every step. The staff were warm, welcoming, and very knowledgeable which made the tour even more enjoyable. One suggestion for the future would be to offer a souvenir option, maybe a small flask of Appleton rum at a discounted price or a package that includes it. It would be a nice touch for visitors to take a little piece of the experience home. Still, even without that, the tour was well worth it and I’d definitely recommend it.

The Appleton Estate Rum Tour was excellent! The welcome drink was a pleasure and the feel of the welcome center was luxe with comfy seating. Once our tour began we watched a brief film about the estate after which we walked out onto the grounds. The history and breakdown of how rum was made was insightful and eye opening. My favorite part of the tour was the tasting session where we were able to identify the different notes in different versions of Appleton rum. The well stocked gift shop was also a good shopportunity. My only slight issue during my visit was the food. The grilled chicken was adequate but was most definitely not jerk, as described. Overall a good experience. Will recommend and revisit again soon.

Chukka and Appleton Estate came through clutch for me. I Went on a tour with my groomsmen and guests who were attending my wedding on the next day. I let our transportation company know I had to be back by 5p for my wedding rehearsal. They arrange a private tour for us at the estate so we could get the full experience and leave on time. We didn't feel rush and the experience was amazing! I am not a drinker of alcoholic beverages, but you will feel like a rum expert and know your way around a good bottle afterwards. *For those looking for this comment* You can take kids on these tours, minus the rum tasting session of course.

Additionally, visitors can enjoy go-kart racing, kayaking, paintball, and more at this award-winning park.
Good to go on trips and with the family. They have a kiddies area. They slides are not for the faint of heart. I am slightly afraid of heights so you can just imagine it was scared. Lifeguards are always on duty and super helpful. The food is where they loose a star for me . I was not impressed and it just did not taste fresh. You can't bring outside food and there is no re entry. So I would recommend eat afterwards or before.

Great facilities, perfect for large groups and family activities. Go-karts, paintball, rafting, canoeing and other activities are available. Slides are great, be sure to try the 'Lightning Bolt'. Staff is awesome and so is the food. An adult pool should be made available because if you don't want to slide or go down the lazy river the next best option is the kids section. Always a great experience going here, just need that adult swimming pool to make it perfect.

The staff is the best part of this water park. For the cost it's not much to brag home about. Slides aren't that high, thrill level isn't all that. I cannot imagine the park on a busy day. It would not be worth it in any way shape or form. The experience was okay and the staff and food was exceptional. I hope they will invest in expanding the park soon to bring some more thrilling rides for the thrill seekers and try and achieve better economies of scale. I would recommend the park to individuals who aren't thrill seekers or people who just want to spend a day relaxing in the water. The lazy river for me was the best "ride" at the park.

My family and I really liked the water park. The space was clean and visually appealing. Upon arrival we parked in the roadside as it was observed that most cars were parked there, and the designated parking lot was actually empty. Payment was made and the entry fee is $2400 per adult, children under 3 years free. I was told I needed a waterproof diaper for my 2 year old although she was fully potty trained. The option was buy the diaper or pay the entry fee. The diaper was cheaper so I did that. The park was clean and the infrastructure up to date. The colors were appealing and we were excited. There were lifeguards on location to assist with whatever was needed but the caution whistle was blown quite frequently and I wasn't sure if I was being cautioned or it was just two staff members trying to get each other's attention. The slides were fun, I particularly liked the red and blue ones. Only draw back was having to climb that many stairs to get to all the fun. The kiddies pool was also fun and my little one couldnt get enough of that coconut playground. Overall we all had a grand time and will definitely go back.

This community museum provides a vivid portrayal of life in Trench Town during its early years and symbolizes the city's rich musical heritage as the birthplace of reggae music.

Right, this one was very interesting. The culture yard is literally 5 rooms and a yard. The entrance fee is 20$ US and we didn't get a receipt. There is a guide there who will tell you the story of how reggae music began in Jamaica and how Bob Marley made it popular all over the world. If you are into this stuff you will find it very interesting. BUT, the guide himself is a 'museum' as he is a very weird person and I marveled at him more than I marveled at the empty rooms in the museum. I am almost certain he was stoned and he gave me the feeling that we are not welcomed there. 🤦 I went there with two guys, but if I were alone, I would have felt very uncomfortable. The culture yard is located in the middle of the worst neighborhood in Kingston. You go there by car. YOU DO NOT WALK!!! You don't get off to take pictures or anything. You don't go there without a local! If you're into reggae music, I don't recommend it. Spend that money at the Downs river.

This tour was pure comedy. We did the basic $20 tour. Black & Proud A.K.A. Mr. Johnson is hilarious. He was under the influence while giving our tour. He basically read the signs in the room and threw in an occassional song for entertainment. He invited me to sit on Bob Marley's bed while telling a story of a lady getting pregnant by Bob's ghost. I'm a scary indivual and not once did I feel threatened in this area. I even walked a bit to capture the wall art. While you're here you may as well visit May Pen Cemetary for the elaborate tombstones. The Tivoli Garden side (next to Tivoli High School) is open allowing you to enter and view up close.

Incredible. I did the full tour and walked through the streets of Trenchtown with my guide. It felt like Guinee, West Africa. The guide told me that every single visitor he gets, whether it be China or Brazil, said it feels just like home. If you know, you know. We are all truly connected, more than you think. I take great pride in knowing how much pride the people of Jamaica have for their people. It was worth every single bit of time and money I spent. Blackie, my tour guide, thank you so much for everything 🙏🏾🥰🌹

A great way to see how it all began for Bob. However, the full guided tour could be too much for some. As it goes into details about other reggae artists that some may not know or fully appreciate all the connections. The museum tour was informing and insightful.

What a visceral telling of where Bob's lyrics come from. Stone man's presentation of our relationship to the natural world, and the wisdom it gives... fully powerful!

Pretty steep price for a short tour of a small area. The guide was passionate about the tour, though his accent was thick and challenging to understand at times. Only waited a few minutes for the tour. Facilities relatively well maintained, though aged.

Good to see where Bob came into his own to do "big man thing". Conditions were very basic. They have done a good job preserving the site lots of photos to see. Suggest one goes with a tour guide as the neighborhood is still rough.

Good Hope in Jamaica is a must-visit destination for travelers looking to immerse themselves in the island's rich history and natural beauty. Start your journey with a visit to Glorias Rendezvous, a beloved institution known for its grilled fish and cassava cakes. After exploring the National Gallery of Jamaica, head to Devon House for unique ice cream made with dark stout beer and take a tour of the historical property.
This tour was fun and informative. It was a great way to learn more about the history of Jamaica, her people & culture, flora & fauna, and foods. Our tour CHUKKA tour guide, Lydia, and driver, Mr. Kool, threw in lots of fun facts, bad jokes, and singing as we made our way to Good Hope and back. This putting turned out to be much more than I had been expecting.

There are not enough stars to give this special staff and place in such a beautiful part of the world. And no words can describe to pure love and joy that radiates across the every part of this place. Who knew that I would have a new family in Jamaica, after meeting as complete strangers , and sharing just a few days together?!?! The food is amazing and made with pure love. Every part of this property has love poured into that overflows to the guests. You just have to be there and be present to feel it all first hand! Thank you Good Hope! You have a special place in my heart! “Mikee”

Just really touristy and a blatant money extraction organisation. 3 US dollars for a bottle of water and rum tasting albeit very informative was not meeting expectations. The kids enjoyed the tubing and water slide, but realistically we could have had a day at the beach.

It was okay. Get your own transportation because it's hot and you have to wait for HOURS in the heat for the bus even if your the last people here .... the bikes and raft are pretty good. Adrianne who was our guide on the raft was awesome. I would have given better reviews if I didn't have to wait so long to leave once we were done with the tour. We had to wait over TWO HOURS in the sweltering heat ... My suggestion is to make sure you are first in and first out or find your own transportation back to your hotel

I spent a beautiful 5 nights at Good Hope. The whole estate is vast with a section of the land tucked away running adventure activities. I was staying at the peaceful old house attending a private retreat. From the welcoming staff to the delicious home-cooked food and amazing birdlife and flowers, everything was perfect. The house can be rented privately for special occasions and events and has had some famous guests during its deep, moving and very special history. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to spend some unforgettable time there and hope one day to return. Thank you to the staff and the owners for making us feel so very welcome and making their home ours!

An aesthetic upgrade is required. Once you get past that you can have real fun here. There is a skating rink, go cart ride. If you have little regards foe opinions you can get massaged on the brach. Then you can stay the night for the exotic club.

There is no theme park here. Condemned shanty town filled with junkies and homeless people. It looks more like Chernobyl than a water park. The “go kart track” looks like something out of the flinstones. Watch out for Bigfoot/Bigfeet, local scam artist that tried to rob us at a local ATM. Would highly recommend the Pork Pit across the street though. Amazing jerked chicken!

Hiking Trails
Blue Mountain Peak is a towering peak located in the Blue & John Crow Mountains National Park, known for its coffee production. Hiking to the peak offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and a chance to witness a breathtaking sunrise. The mountain range is also famous for its coffee plantations, where visitors can learn about Jamaica's coffee production history. Additionally, Saint Thomas Parish, where the peak is located, boasts beautiful beaches and rich cultural heritage, offering an unforgettable travel experience for visitors.
Blue Mountain Peak is an experience like no other. It's definitely one that I enjoyed regardless of the heavy intensity. I found the atmosphere to be rather blissful with the cold winds and fog, with little drizzles of rain. The Blue Mountain Peak hike is a bucket list activity for many Jamaicans out there. It's not hard to see why either. It's one of the hardest and longest hikes you can ever do. Depending on your fitness level and mental strength, it can take you 3-4 hours+ just to reach the peak itself. The hike to the peak is no joke at all. It's all straight inclines up to the peak, with little easing it up spots here and there. Once you reach the cabins things get less intense. Most opt to do it in the night so they they can catch the sunrise in the day. Not gon lie, it's one of the most beautiful sunrises you'll ever see. I personally prefered doing it in the day, because I can get to see all the beautiful sights. They say on a really clear day you can see Cuba from atop the peak. I wasn't able to get it clear on my last visit... but maybe again on another time. I think Blue Mountain Peak is supposed to be the highest mountain in the Caribbean. Don't quote me too much on that tho. Im looking forward in doing it again one day.

There’s not a lot of info out there, so here’s what I wish I knew: • The drive from Kingston to Mavis Bank is easy enough for any car, though local drivers can be aggressive—be confident behind the wheel. • Park at the Mavis Bank Police Station (5–6 spots, free). • From there, contact Jay’s Guesthouse for a ride to the trailhead (~$60 one way). A 4x4 is a must. • A guide isn’t necessary—the trail is safe, well-marked, and the locals are kind—but hiring one can enhance the experience. • Little to no cell reception, except at the Ranger Station. • Start early and aim to summit by 9am—after that, the mountain is usually clouded over and rainy. • Bring a light rain jacket. The peak is chilly and damp, but there’s shelter and benches at the top. • Totally worth it, especially for the rare tropical elfin forest at the summit.

Most beautiful as hike I have ever done.The view is simply and truly amazing. We ended up parking at the Police station and then hopping in a 4 Wheeler and headed up to where the trail headed starts.It is definitely a very Bumpy rolled up.It took us about an hour driving distance till we hit the trail.Head once you get there.You will be truly amazed by the views that you will see. This Mountain is a must see total 360 views. Hard hike with rocky scrambles in some sections.

Worth the 7 hour round trip and then some. Be WARNED. This hike is not for everyone. It's very difficult and mentally challenging not to mention physically. Take your time, do it for sunrise as we did. The best views of the island from above. A renowned sense of accomplishment at the top. Our guide Charlie made it a memorable trip. There's a lot of different terrain. Make sure to wear hiking boots and bring a spare shirt. You'll need it for the sweat you accumulate on the way up. On average it takes 4 hours to hike up. If you're fit you can do it in 3 and then 2 hours to come down. The view at the top is undescribable, truly something only to be seen photos don't do it justice. Hope for a clear day, bring snacks and drink plenty of water.

So this is my second time going up the blue mountain...people dont stress how cold it is especially if you make it to the top to watch the sunrise. Its October and we were all freezing and i wore a shirt , a sweater and a hoodie .. dont forget your gloves like i did. The way to the blue mountain isnt cold but at the ranger station and the peak has heavy cold winds. Becareful and have fun as it is all worth it. @Glash.Flash

Great hike! The trail was well maintained ( as expected since you have to pay US$ 20 to enter the park). From the typical start point for the hike, it’s about 7km distance and 1000m elevation gain to cover. If you’re an experienced hiker this hike will be quite easy for you - The incline is very gradual for the most part. However, for inexperienced persons, it could definitely be challenging. But a great experience all the same!

It was worth the climb!!! The journey was long but it was nice n cool. We started the climb at the hiking trail by the little coffee shop at 11:58am n got to the peak 5:12am. I walked slowww ppl passed us on the way including a 9yr old

It’s therapeutic. The hike, the reward of sunrise and the views of clouds and valleys to take back as long lasting memories. Tip: First timers should go in a group or with professional guides, Terran is challenging and follow the signs and instructions without doubt. Travel light with good amount of water and a raincoat

Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and history of Jamaica at the Montego Bay Cultural Centre. Located in Sam Sharpe Square, this dynamic destination is home to the National Museum West and National Gallery West. Explore exhibits showcasing ancient Jamaican arts and crafts, as well as rotating displays on topics like Rastafarian culture. The center offers a perfect indoor activity for a rainy day or a relaxing break from the beach.
Very clean and I love that we could take our time and tour on our own and take photos. Lots of attractions will sometimes not allow photos and that’s not nice because my view is that an attraction site needs your personal collection of photos for memories lol. Very budget friendly and a perfect date idea for those who are more introverted and like the arts and history. It may be boring if these things are not your thing but for me it was absolutely amazing

An amazing display of the Jamaican uprising and fight for freedom. Paid a small fee/donation to enter the self guided tour. Observed the historical relics that were saved over time that showed what the Jamaican people fought hard for in there chase for emancipation. Across the hall is a historical documentation of the Rastafari movement and its origins. Beautiful colors, pictures and video that depicts the movement and its trails and tribulations over time. Wonderful museum and display of the historical history of the Jamaican culture, history and people. Worth a visit!.

Nice Museum located in the middle of Montego Bay town. Has a lot of information on Jamaican history and the arts. The arts area is separate form the historic area which I think is good. I think the Art area could have more information and history but the historical area was great with informatuon and it had a great collection of historical artifax etc...gift shop has nice stuff but I don't think they showcase it well. Prices are average and they do a local rate which is great. Overall definitely somewhere to visit if on the area.

Montego Bay Cultural Centre is located downtown bustling Montego Bay overlooking Sam Sharpe Square which is quite relevant. There is a small admission fee, this former courthouse and former council offices now house Jamaican past, it is a museum to Jamaicas past and depicts Jamaica origins and Jamaican fight and discovery by Christopher Columbus though to Slavery and the horrific way slaves were treated and many died, it charts the abolition of slavery, Sam Sharpe was prevalent in this, it charts the afterlife and struggles to what is now independent and tourist attraction and destination Jamaica, there is lots of art and artistic items of great interest and value. In a separate section is the Rastafarianism, it’s origin from Ethiopia, it’s rise in Jamaica, the lifestyle, its path in music, it’s leader Haile Selassie and it’s growth around the world and the persecution of Rastas, it was definitely an eye opening experience. If in Montego Bay this is definitely a place to visit and immerse yourself in Jamaican history which is interesting and the aspects of Jamaican life and culture.

The Rastafari Indigenous Village, located just outside Montego Bay, offers a captivating outdoor adventure with stunning natural surroundings and a serene ecosystem. Visitors can immerse themselves in the culture of the Rastafarians through drumming sessions, sampling vegan cuisine, and learning about their spiritual practices and beliefs. The purpose-built village provides an opportunity to engage with local residents and gain insight into Rastafarian philosophies and cultural history.
My partner and I enjoyed an engaging and insightful visit to the living Rastafarian Indigenous Village in October 2023. Mid-morning, we were greeted by village resident, Queen I, on the edge of the property. She was ever-present for the remainder of the day, guiding us throughout, tailoring aspects of the visit to our interests and understanding. Her enthusiasm and articulation made her an excellent ambassador for the community. She personalised the stories and information shared, and delivered everything with grace, poise and a glowing smile. Queen I explained the origins of the community, the vision for the future and the Rastafi belief system. We toured the community garden and orchid, the bush bath and, Queen I's personal project, organic soap manufacture (a true delight for the senses, you can purchase on the community's website if interested). We were also fortunate to enjoy a private sit-down conversation with King Toto, one of the community's founders and principle drum maker, about his life and perspectives. And, after participating in the preparation of and relishing a delicious ital (Rastafi Vegan) meal, we spoke with First Man on the evolution of Rastafarianism in Jamaica since the 1930s and the return to Zion. Finally, we savoured an opportunity to participate in a drumming/chanting ceremony in the tabernacle as those willing enjoyed the sacrament (ganja). Unlike many sights in Jamaica, this is not commercialised or mass market. As such, to book this intimate experience contact the community over email or WhatsApp with at least a few days notice and be grateful for the opportunity to engage with an often misunderstood yet influential part of Jamaica's identity, past, present and future. A real treat!

I live in Europe/Switzerland and went to Jamaica in 2018. Rastafari was one of my most impressive experiences in Jamaica - I would love to visit again. This place gives you many life lessons to take with. I‘ve seen how grateful, happy and warmhearted people are. You look at their faces, and you see the satisfied and grateful expression. They appreciate every single detail about mother nature. I will always remember "KING TOTO" I had tears in my eyes, when he was talking about his handmade drums!!! I hope he is still there. Thank you so much for this experience.

Not quite the authentic Rastafarian people. The souvenirs are sold at 3 times the price you will find later in other places in Jamaica and the tour was really not worth the 100 dollars we paid. In the end they didn’t even take us to the village where presumably about 10 people live. We ended up hanging out in the front area and listen to some songs and basically given the choice of buying their artifacts.

The Rastafari Indigenous Village is operating on a smaller scale recovering from Covid-19. Yours are operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays 10:00-13:00 but you must book in advance. Minimum group size of 2 at $150 per person for a 2-3 hour experience. The village offers a relaxed but structured discovery of Rastafari beliefs and lifestyle - if you bring an open mind you can take away learning as well as a few souvenirs. Highlights include an expert tour of flora with a focus on medicinal uses and cooking your own lunch. A welcoming, interesting diversion into a more authentic culture than your hotel can offer. Recommended.

My husband, son, nephew, and I did an excursion to this village from our cruise ship. We truly loved learning about the religion, culture, and the day to day lives of the Rastafarian people who reside here. This is NO homeless village as another reviewer speculated. The villagers work together and teach those who do visit about the Rastafarian Religion. They are very proud and giving people willing to share their love of the earth to those who visit. Definitely visit if you are willing to step outside your box and learn there is more to this world of ours than what you grew up in. So glad we did this!

I was here May 1st. One of the most amazing experiences of me life, it felt like coming home for the first time. We spoke of life, love, God, and the corruption of man, the pursuit of knowledge and mastering oneself. Yes ganja is a part of their lives, however it is not the focus. With so many stereotypes that surround these beautiful people, one can only understand them by being among them. To all me new friends, King Toto etc. One love me brothers, I continue to pray for all of you and your families. You are the example of peace, kindness, and responsibility to our earth that we all need in this world. Rasta. Me come back to the mountain as soon I can. Peace and love, yeah mon. Chris

I’ve called and was told to email when ready to book. I’ve tried emailing about 4 times every two weeks hoping someone would finally respond so I can plan ahead and book this experience for my trip. Its clear as day this company isn’t in need of business and lack any form of customer support. If you are traveling from overseas don’t risk it on a company not dependable enough to respond to emails.
