August 6, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

Is there anything better than stretching out like a cat in a warm patch of Jamaican sun? Only if you sprinkle your island vacation with a dash of adventure. Known fondly as “the land of wood and water,” Jamaica’s forests feature prime hiking and bird watching. History buffs can the heritage sites of Trelawny, while reggae and dancehall fans will love the authentic music clubs of Kingston. Montego Bay is perfect for snorkeling and shopping, while the spas of Ocho Rios can make any stresses melt away.

Bamboo rafting, limestone foot massage, knowledgeable local information. Tremaine shared his love of the river and area with us. We enjoyed the lime on our sugar cane, the citrus leaf, the elephant leaves, and his general goodwill.

Blue Mountain Peak

The Blue Mountains in Jamaica is a hiker's and camper's paradise. You have to see it to believe it. The flowers and flora, the birds and animals. If you visit Jamaica, the Blue Mountains is a must see.

Blue Mountain Peak was an awesome climb!! Gorgeous views throughout the climb of the mountains and coffee plantations. By close to the top we were in the clouds though so there was no hope of a view from the top. I was told that it is VERY rare to have a view from the top - like a once or twice per year occurrence. It means that there is a ton of moisture in the air near the Peak which ends up creating an “Elfin forest” which is as magical as it sounds. Worth the hike to see the forest at the Peak regardless of the lack of view! I did the sunrise climb.Left from Whitfield Hall at 2:30am with an amazing guide named Hopeton. If you can, find someone who knows him and request him as your guide!! He is so knowledgeable about the land, hiking, Jamaican politics, and the human condition. The 9 hour hike flies by in his company! Highly recommended.

Fern Gully

Scenic drive through a three-mile-long canyon, shaded by trees and ferns.

Reviewed By barkerbenny - Fort Lauderdale, United States

We drove through Fern Gully which was magical, Our knowledgeable Jamaican driver told us that years ago one needed headlights on as it was so dark and completely encompassed by this huge canopy of towering trees. However . Hurricane Gilbert blew the tops off allowing shafts of light to penetrate, The vast roots were so historic that we wanted to stop and explore but the road has few places to pull over, so traffic kept us moving. I want to return and park next time s
