COURTNEY TOP RANKED TOURS

 1.            BLUE HOLE

The Blue Hole is an area with secluded and relatively untouched falls located in the hills of Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Its best feature is probably that it is not commercialized in any way. Everyone who visits The Blue Hole raves about its beauty and serenity.

 2.    RIVER TUBING

White River Tubing is a refreshing adventure in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.  The White River is known for its beauty and fresh water rivers. Build some great memories here as you  tube down this fresh body of water surrounded by lush and tropical scenery.River tubing down the White River is fun for the entire family as it is enjoyed by all ages.

3. HORSEBACK RIDING

Horseback riding is an incredible adventure for both experienced and beginner riders. Experience the thrill of riding a beautiful horse through the countryside and down to a magnificent beach, where your dream of riding a horse into the sea becomes a reality.Horseback riding in Jamaica does not get any better than this. Whether it is a group ride, or a special private ride you are sure to have a wonderful experience on our Ocho Rios. 

 4.BAMBOO BLU BEACH

  Bamboo Blu is an oceanfront restaurant in Ocho Rios, who also offers the beach experience. Lounge chairs are 5$ each and for a romantic setting they also rent cabana beds from 20 to 30$! Wi-Fi is complimentary. The restaurant has a good menu although some items are kind of overpriced. The staff is fun and the service is great. The beach is remarkable. The blue water and the warm breeze makes you appreciate this relaxing time. I would definitely like to stay one evening just for the bonfire! But I know we will go back! To get there, turn right next to the RIU all inclusive where you have to go through the security gate of Mammee Bay Estate, a little bit further on your right you’ll find the gate of Bamboo Blu. Open every day from 10 to 10. I would rate this restaurant 7 out of 10.

REVIEW AND RANKING


Most Adventurous Tour-  Black River Safari

Discover the beauty of the South Coast with a 1/12 hour boat tour by motor launch up Jamaica's largest navigable river and through what is Jamaica's largest wetland area,the Black River lower morass. Our basic tour takes you six miles up the river and return, during which a running commentary is given by your captain/ tour guide on both the ecology and a little history of the area. Over 100 species of birds have been recorded in the Black River morass and many are seen during your trip. The endangered American Crocodile (c.actus) inhabits the area and sightings are very very frequent.. The wetland vegetation is of special interest with three species of mangrove, Thatch palms, Royal palms and freshwater swamp forest dominating. A not-to-be-forgotten experience.


Best Historical Tour-   Port Royal and Rose Hall Great House

PORT ROYAL

Port Royal, Jamaica, commonly referred to as "the wickedest city on earth" conjures images of marauding pirates, daring naval conquests, looting, riches, destruction and devastation. It boats an intriguing and turbulent history as it rapidly grew to become the most important trading post in the New World. At the height of its glittering wealth, on June 7, 1692, Port Royal was consumed by an earthquake and two thirds of the town sank into the sea. A series of fires and hurricanes followed and the town was never restored to its former glory. Port Royal lived out its days as a British naval station and remains as a small fishing village today.

ROSE HALL GREAT HOUSE

The legendary Rose Hall is the most famous great house on Jamaica. The subject of at least a dozen Gothic novels, it was immortalized in the H. G. de Lisser book White Witch of Rose Hall. The house was built from 1778 to 1790 by John Palmer, a wealthy British planter. At its peak, this was a 2,640-hectare (6,521-acre) plantation, with more than 2,000 slaves. However, it was Annie Palmer, wife of the builder's grandnephew, who became the focal point of fiction and fact. Called "Infamous Annie," she was said to have dabbled in witchcraft. She took slaves as lovers and then killed them off when they bored her. Servants called her the "Obeah woman" (Obeah in Jamaica for voodoo). Annie was said to have murdered several of her husbands while they slept and eventually suffered the same fate herself. Long in ruins, the house has now been restored. Annie's Pub is on the ground floor.

Doctor's Cave Beach , Montego Bay (also known as Doctor's Cave Bathing Club) has been one of the most famous beaches in Jamaica for nearly a century.With restaurants surrounding it, a gift shop at the beach, and plenty of soft sand, this is the place to go in MoBay.

Local Expert Tip: "Bring your own snorkel gear (they also rent it). There is a nice reef between the floats."

4.   Silver Sand Beach

Cornwall Beach is Jamaica's newest and exciting beach,. offering 2 acres of the best of Sun, Fun & Relaxation! Cornwall Beach draws large crowds because of its central location near major hotels and restaurants. But don't let the crowds keep you away--this is an excellent destination for spending your day dining in the sun, playing on the beach, or swimming in the cool blue sea. White sands make the beach somewhat scenic, but don't expect too much in the way of privacy or panoramic views. Instead, enjoy some windsurfing or volleyball with friends.

  Silver Sands is a combination of luxurious residences and beach cabins and boasts one of the most beautiful beaches in Jamaica. The fine silvery sand, the spectacular colors of the Caribbean make this one of the favorite resorts for both visitors and the many Jamaicans who have residences there. Set on 234 acres amongst palm trees, bougainvillea and poinsettia, Silver Sands Resort is situated along 3000 feet of a powdery, white sand beach. All of our Silver Sands villas are within close walking distance to the beach and Clubhouse. Silver Sands beach has daily lifeguard, Terrace Bar, Beach Grill, tennis courts, disco, commissary and gift shop. There are lounge chairs, deck chairs and tables with sun shades so you can relax and enjoy the scenery, or have a drink or bite to eat. This is probably the best place in Jamaica for surfing. For the golfers, there are 5 championship caliber courses within 30 minutes of Silver Sands.
