Negril

by solopes

Negril was out of our plans in this trip. For our surprise, our hotel suggested a free visit of Negril area, and we accepted. Though lasting only some hours, the visit was interesting and my Negril's page reflects the best of that day. You're invited!

Climb up Ocho Rios Waterfall

by RawdgerDodger

Perhaps one of the coolest things my little group did, besides lie around the silver sandy beach all day, was climb the waterfall in Ocho Rios. Entrance to the falls is around 15 dollars but entirely worth it. Now, most waterfalls, I am assuming are pretty hard to climb. As this was my first, I really have nothing to compare it to. But this waterfall was VERY easy and even kids were climbing up. They sell booties-surfer style water shoes- for about fifteen dollars and I bought a pair. The other option includes renting them for ten dollars or climbing up barefoot. There are lockers to put your things in and there is a beach down below if that is your cup of tea. I strongly suggest climbing the water fall. It is a unique experience and still pretty tame and possible for almost all ages. We didn't need to hire an expensive guide or get some packaged tour as our bus driver Dale took us to...

Glistening Waters

by solopes

It's a funny particularity of this gulf near Runaway Bay, the alga's fluorescence when disturbed. Swimming in the dark waters, turning bright green around you when you move is an odd experience... at a price!

~ Bob Marley's Home & Memorial ~

by Heavens-Mirror

We took a trip to Nine Mile at St Ann, where the famous legendary Reggae King Bob Marley was born on 6th Feb 1945. This is also his final resting place where you can visit his grave and pay your respects to the King.You travel through the countryside where you can see some amazing scenery travelling through Higgings Town and then to the village of Nine Mile.You start the tour at the house where Bob was born and where his fame later then began. Many of Bob Marleys family still live here including his mother, his uncle and and also his cousin who we met and he told us about Bobs life.You get to stand on "Mount Zion Rock" where Bob used to meditate, You get to sit on his bed where he enjoyed chilling out, you can see "the pillow" where Bob used to lay and it was made famous in the song Talking Blues then finally you can walk into the memorial room where Bob Marley was later laid to...

Birding in Cockpit Country

by no1birdlady

The area of Jamaica known at Cockpit Country is inland south east from Montego Bay but we drove into it from Black River on the south west of the island. It is an area of Karst topography where water has dissolved limestone into sinkholes, caves and jagged looking cliffs and mountains. About 70 species of birds are found here and it is a very scenic area. It's like a huge sponge, soaking up and storing rainwater. Many of the rivers begin here. We hiked several areas here and saw some interesting birds such as the tiny little Jamaican Tody. We saw a lot of Yellow-billed Parrots here as well as Black-billed Parrots and some Jamaican Woodpeckers. There was also a Mongoose in the road. We also saw a lot of butterflies such as the Julia but never saw the seriously endangered Giant Swallowtail, the largest butterfly in the Americas and the 2nd largest in the entire world.

Bob Marley Birthplace

by Astrobuck

Yea mon! Brother Bobby is here! His birthplace and grave are at a place called Nine Mile. I never went (I'm not a fan...sorry), but to give you an idea of how big Bob Marley really was (and is) in Jamaica, he is the equivalent of Elvis in the US. Tours are available most days.

The Bob Marley Museum

by Raslady

The photo. is of my daughter standing by the Rasta artist Jah Bobby's statue of Bob and his favourite guitar and football. This is the only photo. you are allowed to take once you pass through the gates.Inside, the garden wall is covered in a mural called The Journey of Bob Marley Superstar, and you are advised that you must not photograph it, or anything else in the garden or museum, except the statue.The tour of the house was $10, but we were unable to join it as we thought the entrance fee was included in the money we had paid for the whole day, so had not budgeted for it, and missed what everyone told us had been a very interesting hour and well worth the money. However, I spent a wonderful afternoon in the garden talking to Bob's cousin Brenton (see my Homepage Personal Albums...Raslady and Friends in MoBay) who is now a close friend, and other family members.The garden has the most...

Chuka Blue Horse back Riding

by tpangelinan

Not for the handicapped, or old broken people. This is a long ride and could make you stiff if you haven't jumped on a horse and ridden 2 1/2 hours through the tropical hills and rain forrest, ruins, villiage, beach (complete with wet in ocean ride). You get your money's worth and then some. Horses are healthy and tame. Guides are friendly and expert at their craft.

Ricks Cafe

by ak47uk

Ricks Cafe Negril. Sit and watch the sun go down or take the plunge off the cliff. I reccomend jumping off first before you dive to get a feel of how far it is down to the sea below. I think its about 35ft. The locals do it from the trees and just about everywhere it is amazing to see them as they perform acrobatic tricks and climb back up to the top using the rock face. They get incredibily close to the face of the cliff when they dive.
