Jamaica Attractions

Jamaica is located south of Cuba. The island has a rich and colorful history dating back to Columbus. A one-day trip to Ocho Rios can be made to climb Dunns River Falls with stops at the Green Grotto Caves and at Discovery Bay where Columbus landed.

There is a full-day trip to the interior to see the Ipswitch Caves and tour the Appleton Rum Factory. Half-day trips include Rafting on the Rio Grande and a visit to Rose Hall where the White Witch of Rose Hall looms. There are a number of night clubs and restaurants in Montego Bay. A Night on the Black River includes a boat trip up the river to enjoy a local dinner and a show under the stars.

Ocho Rios

Dunns River Falls
One of Jamaica's most famous attractions. From the beach you can climb the falls some 600 feet up. Even if you do not climb the falls, it is a must see for the sheer beauty.

Ruins Restaurant
When you get to Ocho Rios you probably will want to stop for lunch. The Ruins is located on one of the many waterfalls in the area and it also has a tropical garden above the falls.

Green Grotto
On your return trip to Montego Bay you will want to stop at the Green Grotto and tour the caves. These caves have been used since the days of pirates and was host to a James Bond movie.

Discovery Bay

Discovery Bay is on the way to Ocho Rios and is the place where Columbus is thought to have landed in Jamaica.

Falmouth

Martha Brae
East of Montego Bay, travel down three miles of the Martha Brae River on a thirty foot bamboo raft.

Montego Bay

Glass Bottom Boats
Montego Bay has many Glass Bottom Boats all of which tour the Marine Park.

Doctor's Cave Beach
Perhaps one of the oldest and wellknown beaches in Montego Bay, Doctor's Cave Beach is found in the middle of the hotel district.

Rose Hall Great House
Tour the 200 year old mansion, the residence of the infamous Annie Palmer, the "White Witch of Rose Hall".

Rockland's Feeding Station
Just west of Montego Bay is a little town in the mountains called Anchovi. Here at the feeding station every afternoon at 2 the birds come to feed. You will see Banana Quits, Hummingbirds and the bird of Jamaica, the Doctor Bird. If you are lucky a hummingbird might land on your finger and feed from a bottle of sugar water.

Appleton Estate

In St. Elizabeth you can see how Appleton Rum is made at the Factory in the Nassau Valley. Learn how the world famous Appleton Rum is produced. See the 200 year old "Pot Stills" still used today. You will be able to sample and press your own fresh sugar cane juice. The visit would not be complete without a sampling of Appleton's Rums.

Y.S. Falls
Located in the parish of Saint Elisabeth near the town of Black River and not far from the Nassau Mountains. Crystal clear sparkling water gently cascading down 120 feet form cool swimming holes and coves for the totally exhilarating 'Garden of Eden' Style swim. To reach the falls you take a tractor drawn jitney through fields of giant Guango Trees, Cotton Trees, flowering Quickstick and Cedar with mountains as the backdrop to a cool, shady corner of the valley where the Y.S. River cascades down.

Negril
Negril is 70 miles to the west of Montego Bay. Known for its laid back atmosphere and 5 mile long beach. On the westernmost end of the island stands a Lighthouse built in 1894.
