Why you’ll love this…
  • Nine Mile – birthplace of Bob Marley
  • Bob Marley Mausoleum
  • Dunn's River Falls
What to expect

Two Jamaican legends are the magnets in this irresistible excursion. You'll visit the highland hamlet that gave the world Bob Marley to explore his birthplace and mausoleum, and discover one of the most exotic natural attractions in the country – Dunn's River Falls.

Your adventure kicks off pretty much the moment you leave your hotel as you head to the coast to visit Dunn's River Falls, which starred in the James Bond classic, Dr. No. These 55-metre-high and 180-metre-wide falls are interspersed with lagoons and climbing them is an experience in itself.

Driving inland for a winding and at times bumpy climb to St Ann Parish, you can expect amazing views of the Dry Harbour Mountains before arriving at Nine Mile. Bob's birthplace is a national shrine and throngs of Rastafarians mill about outside. You'll see his home and final resting place as your guide fills you in on his life and music.

    War für uns nicht so wie erhofft. Wahnsinnig lang, von 6 bis 20.30Uhr. Schlechter Bus, Busfahrer ist gefahren wie irre. Vorallem auf dem Rückweg. Reiseleiter super nett. War alles in allem nicht das was wir erwartet haben

    Deutschsprachiger Guide war super, hat uns viel über Jamaika erzählt und viele Infos gegeben, Ausflug nach Nine Miles war sehr **********, interessant, nicht nur für Bob Marley Fans, Dunn‘s River Falls muss man erlebt haben. Natur pur, erfrischend und einfach wunderschön.

    Wir hatten den Ausflug auf Deutsch gebucht dieser wurde dann ein Tag zuvor abgesagt wegen zuwenig Gäste uns aber derselbe in Englisch angeboten zur selben Zeit. Das war sehr schade da wir wenig von dem was der Guide erzählte verstanden. Der 1 te Stop war an einem Supermarkt wo man alles kaufen konnte( Schmuck , Kleidung ). Dunns River war toll, Nine Miles sehr interessant.Leider gab es im Bus nicht zu trinken . Zum Essen gab es Wasser und in Nine Miles konnte man sich was kaufen.(teuer)

    Muss man auf jeden Fall mitmachen...die Wasserfälle und die Guides sind klasse. Maxine hat auch die ganze Fahrt über das Land und die Leute berichtet. War sehr interessant und ihr deutsch ist super. Die nine miles tour ist auf jeden Fall ein Muss.. leider hatten wir das Gefühl dass man alles sehr schnell durchgehen soll...das fanden wir bisschen schade. Aber Alles an sich war ein toller Ausflugstag. Auch dem Busfahrer Loyd ein großes Lob. Liebe Grüße Nicole und Michael

    Wenn man gerne nass wird und ein bisschen im Wasser klettern möchte, sind die Dunn's Waterfalls super. Durch die Landschaft im Flussbett ca. 300m ca. 1 Stunde mit einem Guide und ca. 25 Personen hinauf macht Spaß. Der zweite Teil, Nine Miles mit dem Besuch von Bob Marleys Geburtshaus ganz nett gemacht, aber für uns kein "Muß" mehr - eher für echte Bob Marley Fans. Eine sehr lange Tour mit knapp 12 Stunden ab/bis Lucea, teilweise durch schöne jamaikanische Landschaft. TOUR NICHT AUF DEUTSCH!!!

These communities preserved their African roots – the Maroon culture is known for vibrant music, dance, storytelling, herbal medicine, and cuisine."Our first stop is at Sun Valley Plantation, a cute little farm where you'll stroll through gardens to look at tropical flowers and taste some of the fruits and vegetables that're grown here. You'll also see how the locals have farmed here for generations. Afterwards, you'll head to the Charles Town Basic School, a small school at the heart of the Charles Town Maroon community. Then, you'll visit the Charles Town Maroon Museum – home to a wealth of artifacts, including traditional clothing, weaponry, and musical instruments. You'll learn about the Maroons' long struggle for freedom and their important role in Jamaica's history.

Coffee farm hike through Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with brunch
Activities

Coffee farm hike through Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with brunch

As you hike through the misty Blue Mountains of Jamaica, take a moment to breathe in the scent of jasmine from the white-flowered coffee trees that mingle with palms, ferns and orchids in this part of the rainforest. Following the trails, you'll hear all about the traditions and techniques of coffee growing in this region – and why its beans are some of the most sought-after – and expensive – in the world. Marcus, a local guide, explains “the Blue Mountains are special, not just for their beauty, but for what they give the farming community. The high altitude, the cool climate and the rich soil are a dream for coffee growers.” The trail will take you on a leisurely trek up the mountain, past small family-owned coffee farms. Here, you'll learn more about how farmers have been harvesting ripe coffee cherries by hand, to create the mild, fruity and sweet flavour of Blue Mountain coffee, since the 18th-century. And the scenery here is pretty historic, too, like something out of Jurassic Park – think thick green rainforest dotted with waterfalls, valleys and misty mountain peaks. You'll want to keep your phone handy for pics.After a little over two miles of walking, you'll be rewarded with a cooling dip in the Blue Mountains Whirlpool. Marcus adds “don't worry – it's a deep rocky pool with a waterfall flowing into it – not a swirling vortex! It's locally known as the Fountain of Youth, so come swim off a few years.” Round off the tour by making a lasting impact on the local greenery. You'll plant a tree as part of a programme to support reforestation and sustainable farming in this part of Jamaica.
