Three Quick Tips

Theme 1 Discover "the Land of Wood and Water". Although we're known for our beaches, there's a reason why our first inhabitants named Jamaica, "the land of wood and water".  Jamaica's topographical features, unlike many other islands in the Caribbean, are very diverse. So if you're interested in seeing the full breadth of Jamaica’s landscape - explore some of our spectacular rivers, waterfalls, caves, bays, mountains, forests and woodlands.
Theme 2 Going on a guided tour will make for a safer, more enriching experience. There are many tourist board-approved local organisations that specialize in guided adventure tours. So whether you plan to go on a jungle canopy tour or a raft ride down the Martha Brae, go with a local expert who knows the ropes.
Theme 3 Packing checklist. For adventures on land, don't forget to pack Insect Repellent that contains DEET, high SPF sunscreen, shades with UVA/UVB protection and broken-in, closed-toed hiking or walking shoes. For adventures in water, bring waterproof sunscreen, shades with UVA/UVB protection and sandals or water shoes with Velcro or lacing (flip-flops are a no-no)! And whatever you do, bring a camera.

Did you know?

Public notice needed to travel: It was not easy to leave Jamaica in the early days not only because transportation was slow but because the law required that no one could leave the island without first publicly advertising his intentions three weeks in advance. This was mainly to protect creditors from people even captains of ships who refused to pay and then skipped the country.
