Jamaica is a beach, party, and adventure lover’s dream come true with its waterfalls, mountains, palm-lined beaches, reggae music, and bustling resorts. Multi-stop day tours from Montego Bay and Ocho Rios are the best things to do in Jamaica while you’re not on sandy Seven Mile or Turtle Beach. See the Blue Hole and Dunn’s River Falls, see the cliff-divers at Rick’s Café, go river rafting, ziplining, snorkeling, party cruises, shopping, and trek the Blue Mountains. The capital, Kingston, plantation homes, rum distillery, and Nine Mile, the hometown of Bob Marley, are slower-paced attractions.
Dunn’s River Falls
A breathtaking White River waterfall close to Ocho Rios, Jamaica, is Dunn’s River Falls. Here, cool, invigorating mountain water tumbles down naturally terraced slopes for 1,000 feet (300 meters). It’s amazing to see how the well-known falls replenish themselves through consistent deposits of sodium and calcium carbonate.
To appreciate geology, you don’t even need to be a geology enthusiast. In the meantime, moviegoers will be able to identify these famous waterfalls from even more famous movies. For instance, Cocktail, featuring Tom Cruise, and Dr. No, starring Sean Connery.
Blue Hole
The Blue Hole is a naturally occurring limestone sinkhole close to Ocho Rios that is sometimes referred to as the Great Blue Hole, Secret Falls, or Island Gully. The name of this natural pool, which is a deep cavern in Jamaica’s tropical mountains, comes from the water’s rich azure color. In order to reach Secret Falls, visitors swim, cliff dive, and traverse the verdant rainforest.
Greenwood Great House
Take a tour of the stunning Greenwood Great House on a hilltop and wander through a singular piece of history. The home, which is a national landmark, was constructed in the late 1700s by Richard Barrett, a relative of poet Elizabeth Barrett-Browning, whose family was one of the first colonial settlers in Jamaica.
Rick’s Café
Located high on the cliffs outside Negril, Rick’s Cafe is one of Jamaica’s most iconic establishments. When Rick’s opened in 1974, Negril was a sleepy fishing village, and both locals and tourists still flock to the restaurant and bar for its delicious Jamaican food, strong cocktails, death-defying cliff divers, and sunset viewing parties.
Club Mobay Departure Lounge
Visit Club Mobay to wrap out your trip to Montego Bay. Up until the moment you catch your flight home, you can enjoy the island vibes for which Jamaica is known. Professional services and Jamaican hospitality are combined in this opulent lounge experience at Sangster International Airport, the busiest airport in the nation, located in Montego Bay. You may effortlessly include your airport experience into your vacation.
Appleton Estate
The Appleton Estate, widely recognized as one of Jamaica’s top rum distilleries, has been making the alcoholic beverage since 1749. The estate produces over 10 million liters of rum annually and occupies an 11,000-acre (4,452-hectare) area with its expansive sugarcane plantations and buildings.
Martha Brae River
The blue Martha Brae River, which winds through Jamaica’s tropical inland rain forests for 20 miles (32 kilometers), is a must-see destination for wildlife enthusiasts visiting this Caribbean nation. During your Jamaica holiday, visit for a short rafting trip or enjoy its advantageous location near other natural landmarks and a variety of species.
Bob Marley Museum
Located in the old residence and recording studio of Bob Marley, the reggae king, this museum is one of the most visited destinations in Jamaica. In addition to evidence of a 1976 assassination attempt, you can view Marley’s gold and platinum recordings, wardrobe items, and his favorite instrument still laying next to his bed.
Seven Mile Beach
Negril’s Seven Mile Beach is a picture-perfect classic with its swaying palm trees, soft turquoise waves, and brilliant white sands. You won’t be alone in paradise because it consistently appears on lists of the “best beaches in the world,” but you’re guaranteed to get what you’re searching for with miles of sand and almost every water activity imaginable.
