Seven days across Jamaica, coast to coast, and not just the resort strip. Climb Dunn's River Falls, zipline down Mystic Mountain, and cliff dive at the Blue Hole, then trade the beaches for Kingston, where you walk through the Bob Marley Museum in the city that invented reggae. The final stretch heads east to Port Antonio for Reach Falls, Frenchman's Cove, and a boat ride across the Blue Lagoon. Small group, four to ten travelers, October through April.
We will pick you up at the arrival hall. The driver will be waiting for you with a sign with the lead travelers name.
Arrive in Montego Bay and check into your hotel. In the evening, stroll the Hip Strip, the city's main waterfront drag lined with shops, bars, and restaurants, and take some time on the beach as the sun goes down.
Tour a restored 18th century plantation house on the hills above Montego Bay, one of the best preserved great houses in Jamaica and the center of the island's most famous ghost story.
Head out on the water with a choice of snorkeling or a glass-bottom boat tour over the reef, with clear views down into the Caribbean.
Drive about 90 minutes east to Ocho Rios and climb Dunn's River Falls, a 180 foot terraced waterfall that cascades straight into the Caribbean. Climbing it in a hand-linked chain is one of Jamaica's signature experiences.
Spend the morning at the Blue Hole, a series of emerald swimming holes and small falls tucked into the hills outside Ocho Rios, with rope swings and cliff jumping for anyone who wants them.
Relax the afternoon away at your choice of beach, with soft sand and calm Caribbean water. Time: about 3 hours
On the way, take the scenic drive through Fern Gully, a lush rainforest gorge lined with towering ferns and tropical greenery.
Drive about two hours to Kingston, the birthplace of reggae, and tour the Bob Marley Museum, set in the house where the legend lived and recorded. It's one of the most visited music landmarks in the Caribbean.
Visit this restored 19th century mansion and its gardens, a Kingston landmark now known as much for its grounds and its famous ice cream as its architecture. Time: about 1.5 hours
Drive about two hours to Port Antonio and spend time at Reach Falls, one of Jamaica's most beautiful waterfalls, tucked into rainforest with clear pools for swimming.
Relax at Frenchman's Cove, a sheltered beach where a freshwater river meets the sea.
Take a boat tour of the Blue Lagoon, the deep spring-fed lagoon famous for the shifting blues and greens of its water.
Spend your last morning in Portland Parish. Take on the Rio Grande by bamboo raft or hike along the river, drifting through some of the greenest country on the island.
