What is the Bob Marley 9 Mile tour?

The Bob Marley Mausoleum is a 3-hour guided tour through the life and old stomping grounds of Bob Marley. On this tour you will see, pictures of Bob Marley as a child, his parents, records, awards, his childhood home and his current resting place.

How much is the Nine Mile tour?

Great way to see authentic parts of Jamaica such as Brownstown and Alexandria. Be prepared to pay for your admission as current entrance prices (Aug 2022) are $30 for adults and $15 USD for kids 7 years old and above.

How far is 9 Mile from Ocho Rios?

9 Mile is nearly 2 hours away from Ocho Rios although they are in the same parish. St. Ann is the biggest parish in Jamaica which means even though both areas are in St. Ann they are still some distance apart.

The journey takes you out of the towns and into the countryside where the roads are long and winding. The lush vegetation and laidback people compensate immensely for the length of the trip. Indeed, we can definitely confess that although the journey is lengthy, it is as much a part of the trip as the destination.

Montego Bay is approximately 3 hours away from Nine Miles.
