Tours & Activities in Jamaica

Jamaica is the birthplace of reggae music and the home of Bob Marley, whose former residence at 56 Hope Road in Kingston is now a major tourist attraction.

The island is home to the world's second-longest coral reef and the third-largest barrier reef system, making it a premier diving destination.

Jamaica was the first country in the Caribbean to gain independence, on August 6, 1962, from British rule.

Dunn's River Falls, a terraced waterfall cascade in Ocho Rios, is one of the most visited natural attractions in the Caribbean and descends 600 feet to the beach.

The island sits on the Caribbean tectonic plate and experiences occasional earthquakes; the most notable recent one was in 2014.

Jamaican athletes dominate global sprinting events—Usain Bolt, a national hero, is from Jamaica and won eight Olympic gold medals.
