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!!!

Your journey through Jamaica's north will unveil the culture and history of the island. You'll visit the Charles Town Maroon Museum to learn about the Maroons' struggle for freedom, enjoy a tasty lunch and stroll through Sun Valley farming estate to sample fresh fruits and vegetables. Jada, one of our expert local guides, says "the Jamaican Maroons have a proud and fascinating heritage. They are descendants of enslaved West Africans who escaped from plantations and created communities known as Maroon Towns. 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. Next, it's time to sit down for lunch, which will have you eating like a local thanks to all the traditional Jamaican dishes on the menu. You'll dine in a laidback spot overlooking the coast.

Appleton Rum tasting, YS Falls and Pelican Bar tour

A tantalising blend of rum, waterfalls and floating bars awaits on this action-packed trip. Showcasing the island's cultural heritage and natural beauty, this excursion has 100% Jamaica stamped all over it. As one of our expert local guides, Floyd says, ‘Experiencing Jamaica through rum tasting, wild swimming at a waterfall and an iconic bar gives you a great perspective on the many attractions of Jamaica. It's like stepping into a living postcard.' Begin your day with a fascinating tour of the Appleton Estate rum factory, renowned for producing some of the finest rums in Jamaica. Floyd enthuses, ‘Discover the distillation process, juice your own sugar cane and savour the honey-coloured rum – it's a truly immersive experience.' Next, you'll be whisked away to the cascading waters of the YS Falls where you can cool off in the refreshing waterfall pools. After lunch, it's time to hop on a boat and glide out to the Pelican Bar. With luck, you might spot dolphins en route. The Pelican Bar is a ramshackle hut on stilts which has to be seen to be believed. Standing on glittering waters, it's probably the coolest bar in the world. Be sure to carve your name into the wood as a memento of your visit. After a swim in the natural pools surrounding the bar, round off your day by raising a glass to Jamaica's intoxicating charm.
