VideoReviews from Travelers
Reviews from Travelers sharing their experience in JamaicaWe vacationed in Jamaica for four days. Each day we received transport from and back to our hotel, we had no need to drive. This was awesome because the driving in Jamaica can be extremely difficult if you aren't used to it, especially to a lot of these remote places. All the trips were amazing. Each day we had our driver and our tour guide.
Both were extremely knowledgeable and made our vacation amazing. They made everything run smoothly, even with all of the activities planned. By the end they felt like family.
I would recommend this company to everyone! It was one of our best vacations yet. If you want to have fun, and want to see real Jamaican culture this is for you. Read full experience.

Dunn's River Falls. Dunn's River Falls and Beach Park is a must see attraction in Jamaica, located in the heart of Ocho Rios. A trip to Jamaica is incomplete without climbing the cascading waterfall. The park is a great addition for families with kids, offering a fun play area and water adventure. Take the adventure up a notch by ziplining across the waterfalls.
Kingston is the capital of Jamaica, home to the Norman Manley International Airport and Jamaica's UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Blue & John Crow Mountains.
