Day 1: Arrive in Kingston Jamaica

Welcome to Jamaica! Upon arrival at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, you will be picked up and transferred to your hotel in private transportation.

Airport arrival instructions will be emailed to you 3 weeks prior to your trip. You will then receive a briefing of your upcoming trip by your private tour guide, who will be the group leader throughout the duration of the tour. 

Overnight in Kingston, Jamaica.

 Accommodation:  Hotel Four Seasons 

Day 2: Full-Day Exploring Kingston (B)

After breakfast, the Best of Jamaica Tours will embark on a city tour of Kingston - the buzzing capital city of Jamaica.

Here you will visit local cultural sites, the famous Bob Marley Museum, Devon House, Port Royal, Hope Garden, Emancipation Park, along with other great attractions that are considered to be the best attractions in Jamaica.

The goal is to get you exposed to a rich piece of Jamaica’s culture that most tourists will never get the chance to experience.

Overnight in Kingston, Jamaica.

 Accommodation:  Hotel Four Seasons

Day 3: Scenic Blue Mountains & Coffee Farm Tour (B, L)

Getting an early start to the day, we will drive an hour to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. Here we will visit the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park where we will view diverse flora and fauna, see the most breathtaking landscapes, hike to a magical (and secret) waterfall, and learn how the Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is produced from the farming fields to the table.

The Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park is famous for its huge variety of birdlife, having almost 200 different bird species in total. Your private tour guide will know the best places to find the tropical birds, including Jamaica’s National Bird – the "doctor bird" or swallow-tailed humming bird. The doctor bird is found only in Jamaica and is one of the most outstanding hummingbirds out of the 320 different species of its kind.

A coffee farm visit to where one of the best coffees in the world is produced will be a part of this exciting tour. The famous Blue Mountain Coffee is pure estate origin coffee, grown and made from start to finish directly in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The coffee is produced in a specified zone that ranges higher than 3,000 feet above sea level. The cool, misty air and mountain breeze make for its authenticity. You will see how the coffee is produced, and will also be able to savour a delicious cup at the end of the tour. Don’t forget to grab some extra coffee to take home for family and friends, as it may very well be the best coffee in the world. In the afternoon, we will stop for a delicious Jamaican lunch and take a scenic drive back to the hotel accommodation in Kingston. We recommend bringing comfortable shoes for walking and a jacket as it can get cold quickly within the Blue Mountains. Overnight in Kingston, Jamaica.

 Accommodation:  Hotel Four Seasons

Day 4: Portland Adventure Day Tour (B, L)

After breakfast, we take a full-day tour of Portland Jamaica with our local tour guide. Portland is the place where tourism began in Jamaica; known for rafting on the Rio Grande, Jamaica’s Boston Jerk Food, and the World Famous Blue Lagoon.

We will spend the morning relaxing on a bamboo raft as the captain manoeuvres down the Rio Grande. Here we will learn the history of rafting on the river, swim in the refreshing crystal-clear water, and have a succulent Jamaican lunch.

Our next stop is the Blue Lagoon, a hidden scenic gem in Portland. The Blue Lagoon is quite magical as the water is cold and warm at the same time with different shades of blue; a perfect gift of nature. Here you and your group will have the option to spend the afternoon enjoying the stunning scenery or take a boat ride to the Monkey Island to enjoy the beach.

This is an excellent way to enjoy life and one of the Native island favorites. Overnight in Kingston, Jamaica.

 Accommodation:  Hotel Four Seasons

Day 5: Waterfall Adventure (B, L)

We will travel to the North Coast in the morning, passing through small villages to the lush tropical rainforest.

Our first stop is a natural, breathtaking lagoon where the group can enjoy the cool and refreshing water. Our next stop will be the popular Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios, one of Jamaica’s best attractions. 

Here you'll be able to enjoy a once in a lifetime experience of climbing the cascading waterfalls. The remainder of the afternoon can be spent enjoying the beach. 

Overnight in Kingston, Jamaica.

 Accommodation:  Hotel Four Seasons

Day 6: Best of South Coast Jamaica (B)

Today we travel from the hotel in Kingston to the South Coast of Jamaica. The South Coast is known for small intimate communities, safaris, peppered shrimp at Middle Quarters, papaya daiquiris at YS Falls, and many more great attractions. Experience a day on the South Coast and learn why it's referred to as the “off the beaten path” resort area of Jamaica. Some of the best attractions we will be visiting in the South Coast include:

Bamboo Avenue: a beautiful bamboo canopy lined on both sides of the road. It's a terrific place to stop, take photos, and enjoy a freshly-chopped, ice-cold jelly coconut.

Middle Quarters: for all shrimp lovers - known for the best shrimp on the island!

Black River Safari: considered by many to be Safari at its finest. A boat ride will take you on the river where there will be crocodiles everywhere for you to view safely. After the boat ride, opt in to visit the nursery where you can see and feed the baby crocs.

YS Falls: a hidden scenic treasure described as a magical experience and one of the most beautiful sights in Jamaica. Relax in the mineral water, do the ziplines, and swing across the rope swings. Seize the moment at YS Falls.

Lover’s Leap: enjoy history of the Jamaican culture and take in the breathtaking views right on the edge of a cliff.

Pelican Bar: a short boat ride takes you to a bar in the middle of a Tropical Bay, also known as the Pelican Bar. Enjoy a cold Red Stripe, play a game of Domino with the locals, and have a refreshing dip in the shallow waters of the sandbar where dolphins are often visible. Overnight in Negril, Jamaica.

 Accommodation:  Travellers Beach Resort
