Kingston & st. andrew

Kingston & st. andrew Tours

Welcome to Kingston, surrounded by its bustling harbour and the parish of St. Andrew. Since 1872, Kingston has been Jamaica’s capital city. Located on Jamaica’s southeastern coast, Kingston is a remarkable metropolis of commerce, development, and ethnic diversity.

Kingston was founded following the destruction of Jamaica’s then capital, Port Royal, by a massive earthquake in 1692. In subsequent years, Kingston Harbour would serve as both trading hub and naval base, while most of the surrounding area was used for agricultural purposes. In 1872, the government relocated all government offices from the then capital Spanish Town to Kingston. This action, in effect, made Kingston the new capital city.

Today, Kingston is a thriving city full of modern and historical sites. We are honoured to give you a glimpse into this city’s great past and bright future.

Experience the Kingston Capital City Tour, featuring Devon House and the Bob Marley Museum.

Stop in for some fine dining at Usain Bolt’s Tracks and Records.

Invigorate the senses with our Ultimate Coffee Tour, and take the scenic ride of a lifetime on our Blue Mountain Bicycle Tour.

Port Antonio

Port antonio Tours

Perhaps the most visually stunning port in the world, Port Antonio has captivated many visitors over the years. This town of lush vegetation, dazzling scenery, twin harbours and cool hills is located on Jamaica’s northeastern coast.

Virtually untouched by tourism, Port Antonio offers old-world comfort and undeniable charm.

Originally occupied by the Spaniards in the 16th century, the area was later settled and expanded by the British. Port Antonio gained worldwide recognition after becoming the world’s leading producer of bananas during the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The banana boat became the preferred transport method of bananas from plantation to port.

When banana sales declined and tourism increased, the vacant banana boats were used for river tours, which is still practiced today.

Revel in the Port Antonio Experience! Visit the historic Frenchman’s Cove, where it is said the defeated French hid from the British. Enjoy relaxing rafting down the Rio Grande on an authentic bamboo raft.

hether you’re looking for a peaceful family outing or a serene romantic getaway with that special someone, Martha Brae River rafting is a calm, soothing experience that will be forever remembered. Gently cruise through 3 miles of scenic jungle and wildlife on a journey lasting roughly 90 minutes, expertly guided by your own, very knowledgeable raft captain.

Historic Falmouth

Cockpit Country Caves

L

ocated 2,000 feet above sea level in one of Jamaica’s last remaining, virtually untouched areas, the Cockpit Caves are one of Jamaica’s most remarkable natural attractions. Riddled with steep hollows, some as deep as 400 feet, the terrain here is among the most difficult to navigate on the island. It is for this very reason that the area was a stronghold for the Maroon people against Spanish and British colonialists.

Tourists visiting the Cockpit Country Caves are outfitted with helmets and headlamps for a variety of adventures like hiking, spelunking, and other outdoor activities.

S

Historic Falmouth

Cockpit Country Caves

L

ocated 2,000 feet above sea level in one of Jamaica’s last remaining, virtually untouched areas, the Cockpit Caves are one of Jamaica’s most remarkable natural attractions. Riddled with steep hollows, some as deep as 400 feet, the terrain here is among the most difficult to navigate on the island. It is for this very reason that the area was a stronghold for the Maroon people against Spanish and British colonialists.

Tourists visiting the Cockpit Country Caves are outfitted with helmets and headlamps for a variety of adventures like hiking, spelunking, and other outdoor activities.

St. James Tours

Situated in Jamaica’s northwestern coastal region is St. James, a parish rich in history and industry. Its capital, Montego Bay, received its name from the Spanish word manteca, or lard, for which many native wild hogs met their demise.

St. James was a sparsely populated and economically poor parish until the mid 18th century, when sugar planters developed the area, importing huge populations of African slaves to serve as their labour force. As a result, St. James quickly became one of the most prosperous parishes on the island.

One of Jamaica’s esteemed National Heroes, Samuel Sharpe was born a slave in St. James in 1801. In 1831-32, Sharpe led what was to be Jamaica’s final slave uprising, the Christmas Rebellion. As a result, Sharpe and over 300 fellow slaves were hanged at the site now known as Samuel Sharpe Square in Montego Bay.

Be mystified at the Rose Hall Great House, view vintage antiques at the Greenwood Great House, sample freshly picked pineapples at the Croydon Plantation, tee off at Cinnamon Hill, White Witch, and Half Moon Golf Courses, enjoy our Shopping Tour, hook a big fish with Ocean Express Deep Sea Fishing, learn Jamaican history on a John’s Hall Adventure Tour, add thrill to your vacation with Chukka Adventure Tours, trek through thick woodlands on the Irwin Village Tour, and snorkel in sparkling seas on a Dreamer Catamaran.

Celebrity Encounters Serena Williams Well known for her prowess on the professional tennis court, Serena Williams visited Jamaica in February, 2016.

During her visit, the tennis star offered her assistance in building the Salt Marsh Primary School in Trelawny.

prime example of Jamaica’s rich sugar plantation history, the Bellefield Great House in Montego Bay boasts unforgettable panoramic views, lush tropical gardens, and a grand mansion. The immense plantation was built in the 17th century on land awarded to Colonel Nicholas Jarrett by English King Charles II.

A tour of the mansion and property elegantly reveals the essence of this historical time period. Despite owning stately homes in England, the Kerr-Jarrett family is deeply rooted in Jamaica. Over time, they have nurtured a genuine love for the island which has been passed down through subsequent generations and various acts of philanthropy.

Westmoreland Tours

Aptly named for its extreme western location, Westmoreland is Jamaica’s eighth largest parish.

Although the Spanish were the first to settle in the area, the English gained control of Jamaica in 1655, ushering in sugar production and widespread slavery. After slavery was abolished in 1834, a variety of ethnic groups were introduced, such as East Indians, Germans and Chinese, to supplement the labour shortage.

Westmoreland’s capital is Savanna-la-Mar, which means “plain by the sea”. The town, which literally ends by the sea, has witnessed many natural disasters, most notably in 1748, 1780, and 1912. Regardless of the magnitude of these catastrophes, the townspeople of Savanna-la-Mar’s undeterred resilience has led to its rebuilding each time.

Negril is Westmoreland’s westernmost town. Featuring picturesque cliffs and miles of pristine beach, Negril is among Jamaica’s top three tourist destinations.

Soak up some sun on the Negril Beach & Sunset Tour, purchase great souvenirs on our Shopping Tour, take an ATV Tour at Jamwest Adventure Park, go for a sail on a Dreamer Catamaran, and enjoy the party on a Paxton Cruise.

St. Elizabeth Tours

St. Elizabeth, found in southwestern Jamaica, is a parish of many topographies. It was named after Lady Elizabeth Modyford, the wife of the first Governor of Jamaica. From Treasure Beach to the dazzling Santa Cruz Mountain Range to the majestic Black River, St. Elizabeth has been largely ignored as a tourism area. As such, travelers seeking a genuine connectivity to vintage Jamaican culture will find it here.

The parish capital, Black River, is one of the oldest towns on the island. Originally established in 1671 by three wealthy landowners, the Leyton brothers, Black River was made capital in 1773. The town thrived on its local industries of sugar, logwood, and pimento for many years. Black River would go down in history as the first place in Jamaica to harness the power of electricity, motor vehicles and the telephone.

Witness breath-taking scenery and crocodiles on the Black River Safari, take a swim at the majestically beautiful YS Falls, and learn about Jamaica’s finest rum and how it was made over the centuries on the Appleton Rum Tour.
