Top Things to do in Runaway Bay
Top 10 Cultural Tours in Runaway Bay, Saint Ann Parish
Just ten miles west of Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay's stunning beaches see far fewer footprints than its neighbors. It's also removed from the cruise ship herds and pushy vendors. Perfect for those happy not to wander far from their resort, there are a few nearby attractions nonetheless. Bob Marley's childhood home and mausoleum is in nearby Nine Mile. Jamaican history is on view at Seville Great House and at Columbus Park Museum. To explore, rent a reliable vehicle and remember to drive on the left.

The driver and guide were nice and accommodating! I enjoyed listening to the facts as we drove through Jamaica. The luminous lagoon was unfortunately not luminous because the moon was so bright. A little disappointing but out of anyone's control. The rafting was very relaxing but the guide was a tad inappropriate and made some uncomfortable remarks. But the guide and driver made up for it.

Ever wonder where the “Legend of Reggae” Bob Marley started his career in music? Why he became so influential, so much so that there was what is dubbed an assassination attempt. This tour will answer all this and more on an exciting journey along meandering roads, local villages and the island’s capital. An eccentric and “reggaerefic” experience you won't want to miss.

This was an informative, interactive and engaging experience. Our family of 7, including 2 teenagers (13, and 17) had a pleasant time. There was not a dull moment. We got to learn how to make certain native meals and taste; It was delicious! We even got to meet Usain Bolt's aunt, she was so warm and inviting. The dance was fun, entertaining, funny and they welcomed our participation. I think I learned a few moves :-) The lucious vegetation on our ride there and back was refreshing. I liked that for a few hours we got to get away from the touristy feel of things a bit and experience how some of the locals live. If you are looking for something cultural and pleasantly interactive, then you have found the right excursion!

The tour started on time. They have you remove your shoes when you get on. The drinks were numerous and strong. The DJ played some great music. We got to meet some people that were staying at the same resort and break the ice on the boat trip. The food onboard is finger food, so you may want to eat before getting on the boat. The boat cruises the coast and goes to Margaritaville, which was busy. You probably won't have time to eat at Margaritaville, but going down the slides or minor shopping is possible with the time allotted. Don't be late back to the boat or they may leave you there. Crew was great. Bathrooms on board were clean. I had a much better time than I thought I would...maybe the drinks helped? I would recommend this cruise...just don't bring kids. It's more of a adult boat party event.

Jacques tours provided transportation from the airport to Negril and then from Negril to Ocho Rios, for my family of 5. His team picked us up, was friendly, found a safe place for us to use the restroom on the road, and had drinks as well. He was a very fast communicator and so friendly! He answered all my questions and eased my concerns prior to travel. I will definitely use his company again!
