Attractions - our favorite places
You’ve spent days, maybe months, dreaming about the warmth of the island air against your skin, the salty tropical aroma of the glistening sea, its champagne bubbly waves splashing up against your toes, and the fiery taste of pepperwood spice as you sink your teeth into a juicy bite of jerk chicken. Now you’re ready to experience all that Jamaica has to offer and we’ve put our best on show.
No matter what type of vacation you’re dreaming of, there’s an attraction here that will help bring it to life and leave you with unforgettable memories for decades to come. Golfing, beaching, hiking, dancing, even ghostbusting and cave-diving can all be a part of your vacation. These are but a few of the best attractions in Jamaica that will help you feel the pulse of our island paradise.
Natural Wonders
Jamaica is a nature lover’s dream. Choose to hike daredevil waterfalls, drive or ride along scenic hillside corridors, check in with the gentle native crocodiles on a river safari, or take a trolley through historic towns rich with culture.
Get to understand the Jamaican psyche by visiting Croydon in the Mountain, a historical estate nestled in the cool hills of Montego Bay. The plantation is where one of our national heroes, Sam Sharpe, was born and you can enjoy beautiful botanical gardens while sampling the tangy taste of exotic fruits.
Over in Ocho Rios, Dunn’s River Falls commands most of the attention. However, also not to be missed, is the delightful Turtle River Falls and Gardens located right in the bustling resort town and offering up 14 cascading waterfalls for you to enjoy.
Mix a bit of athletic activity into your getaway with a bicycle tour through the lush and bountiful terrain of the Blue Mountains, home to the world-renowned Blue Mountain coffee. Guided tours take you to the 7,000-foot peak of the mountain.
Only in Jamaica
A visit to the Accompong Maroons, dating back to 1739, will delight those looking for a cultural experience. Over at the Trench Town Culture Yard, you’ll be introduced to the home of reggae music. This is where Bob Marley spent much of his earlier years of life and his spirit and legacy are alive and rockin’ here.
If you’re a golf enthusiast, you must visit the oldest course in the western hemisphere. The Manchester Club sits 2,000 feet above sea level atop the cool hills in the center of the island and offers up a full 18 holes. The Tryall Golf Club in Montego Bay offers several levels of awe-inspiring beachside beauty and world-class holes with instructors on hand to help you improve your play.
Head to the beach at Long Bay Beach Park and enjoy an expansive stretch of sky blue waters lapping at your feet. Cooldown at the Sky Beach Cafe with a sunset al fresco dinner on the cliff’s edge and then party the night away at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville. There’s nothing like the sand in your toes as the rhythmic beats lift you to another dimension.
Heart-Pounding Action
Give in to an adrenaline rush with zip lining and river tubing tours via Chukka Caribbean Attractions along the White River Valley. Jamwest Motorsport ATV tours, as well as the Mystic Mountain bobsled ride through the shimmering rainforest, will also satisfy your need for speed.
Kool Runnings Water Park offers up more than your average waterslide ride. Have fun paintballing in the jungle, go-kart racing and river rafting, and then go sliding down the thrilling 70-foot Lightning Bolt speed slide.
If watersports tickle your fancy, you must parasail over the beach or go scuba diving with the sea turtles.
With so many attractions in Jamaica to choose from, you may never want to leave!
