Things to Do

Dipping your toes in the warm Caribbean Sea, chasing breathtaking waterfalls, and rocking to world-famous Reggae beats. These are all amazing experiences and yet, they just begin to scratch the surface of the best things to do in Jamaica.

Our tiny island is a mixed bag of white sand beaches, mountainous inner terrains, bustling city life, sleepy roadside towns boasting homegrown food, friendly people, and warm smiles. Whatever adventure you seek, it awaits you here.

A One-of-a-Kind Jamaican Vacation

Start with an adventure you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the world. Just outside of Montego Bay lies the Luminous Lagoon, a glowing cove that harbors bioluminescent water—meaning you’ll glow in the dark if you go swimming at dusk. There are only a few spots in the world where you can do this.

A visit to Annie Palmer, the “White Witch” of the Rose Hall Great House, should also make your list. Legend has it that her spirit still roams the halls of the great house where she offed several husbands and slave lovers. She’d love it if you popped in.

Rounding out some of the top things to do in Jamaica is a stop at Rick’s Cafe in Negril. Join daredevil divers as they leap into the most gorgeous gem-colored sea from dizzying heights above. If adrenaline isn’t your thing, watch them go at it while sipping a cold local brew against the most amazing sunsets this side of the rock.

The Most Fun Things to Do in Jamaica

Jamaica is beautiful and there’s no denying that, but it’s the vibe of the people that will capture your heart. Seek out cultural events and popular activities while you’re here to immerse yourself in the island lifestyle.

Treat your tastebuds to the sizzle of authentic jerk, right here where it was born, along with other island flavors on a culinary tour. Nightlife fans, gyrate your waistline with the best of them at upscale bars, local jaunts, or lively street dances.

Take the kids to get up close and personal with the stunning nature of Jamaica via bobsled or sky lift. Board a bamboo raft and soak in the lush island greenery and endemic birds flying by. Hike 7,000 feet above sea level to try Blue Mountain coffee right at the source while stopping to dip in icy-cool rivers on the trail. Enjoy these tours with the friendliest guides who are experts at merriment.

A Relaxing Island Getaway

Slow down and enjoy nature and art all around you, Jamaican style. Ahhh Ras Natango Gallery and Garden delights every sense with their botanical garden and artistry created on-site. Konoko Falls offers up something for everyone with a museum and small zoo on the property along with cascading waterfalls. Escape the heat of the city with a taste of Devon House ice cream, once voted some of the best-tasting ice cream in the world!
