The guide and driver were excellent. The drive there was long but once we arrived we enjoyed emancipation park. Blue mountain was beautiful. Scary road but once there was fine. We were unable to go to the top as we have mobility issues but we still enjoyed the day. The lunch was outstanding. And Bob's museum was brilliant. The drive home was incredibly long and got uncomfortable in the end but overall it was a great trip.
The striking contrasts of urban and rural Jamaica are in the spotlight on this tour. Exploring Kingston and the Blue Mountains offers a great introduction to the island's character. Among the gems on this excursion are visits to a coffee plantation, Emancipation Park and the iconic Bob Marley Museum. As one of our seasoned guides puts it, "The blend of city vibrancy and tranquil countryside truly encapsulates the heart of Jamaica."
The adventure begins with a venture into the misty Blue Mountains. Savour an authentic Jamaican lunch, before setting off on a tour of the Rainforest Alliance-certified Craighton Estate. Let your senses be tantalised by the aroma of Blue Mountain coffee – widely recognised as one of the world's finest. Our guide shares, “The taste of freshly brewed coffee from the plantation is an experience like no other.”
Next, we plunge into the pulsating rhythm of Kingston. Explore historic sites in the capital's uptown such as Emancipation Park – home to the powerful Redemption Song and Bob Marley statues. At the Bob Marley Museum, you'll be able to learn all about reggae history, viewing mementos including his gold and platinum discs as well as his personal outfits and instruments. This tour promises an unforgettable insight into the soul of Jamaica.
