The main reason travelers choose to visit Jamaica is for an all-inclusive vacation. After all, what better location to enjoy it than in the place where it was practically invented? The resorts are spectacular, but this destination is about more than a barefoot luxury in private settings. The timing is right to go exploring, and Jamaica has visitors feeling comfortable and prepared.
Jamaica's new normal for tourism combines a comprehensive destination-wide approach with a heightened focus to create an authentic, enjoyable, and safe vacation experience.
Seven Mile Beach in Negril
Seven Mile Beach's powdery white sand, crystal clear water, and a plethora of watersports set the tone for an experience that has grown in popularity over the years. The beach is located near Norman Manley Boulevard in Negril, a small hamlet with a population of slightly over 3,000 residents. Seven Mile Beach is a famed beach for experienced beachgoers, consisting of a four-mile strip with the remaining three miles extending into Bloody Bay.
Roaring River and Cave
The Roaring River is another must-see attraction in Jamaica. The river flows underground for most of its voyage until it emerges in Petersfield. The area surrounding the springs is quite stunning. Roaring River Cave, a limestone cave where you can even swim, is the primary attraction. Because the cave is relatively dark, only a guide is permitted to access it.
Unfortunately, it has been reported that so-called tour guides prefer to rip people off here, so if you come with your own car, we advise you to be cautious. When you book a tour through your hotel, the drivers usually have a good idea of which tour guides are reliable.
Bamboo rafting on the Martha Brae River
A rafting journey along the Martha Brae River will take you through a spectacular natural landscape. The term "rafting" is probably incorrect. It's more of a relaxing ride than a thrilling whitewater adventure. This tour, on the other hand, is highly recommended. The raft is about 6 meters long, and you sit at the end, slightly elevated, while the captain stands in front and directs with a bamboo stick. Depending on the water level, the journey takes one to one and a half hours. On the beach, there are a few souvenir vendors who will stop if you ask them to.
Bob Marley Experience
The focus of this tour is on reggae legend Bob Marley, and since you're in Jamaica, you should spend some time with the king of reggae! You'll visit one of Jamaica's Revival Churches and close the day with some traditional Jamaican jerk after touring Bob's birthplace, the village of Nine Mile, and his childhood home (which is now a museum).
Dunn's River Falls
Dunn's River Falls may be a famous tourist site, but it is truly spectacular. Climbers can slide down the smooth parts of the limestone cliffs into the refreshing lagoons below after climbing over 600 feet of terraced waterfalls.
The waterfall's defining characteristic, as well as what makes it so distinctive, may be found near its base. Dunn's River Falls is one of the few travertine waterfalls in the world, emptying into the sea at Little Dunn's River Beach.
