Jamaica may be a small island, but once you get here you will realise that you have an unlimited number of things to do and places to go. If you are planning your vacation and struggling with deciding what to do, with the possibly few days you have for vacation, let me help you decide where to travel in Jamaica.
New! Take a piece of Jamaica with you💃!
Savour the memories! Now you can get your authentic Jamaican souvenir items, as well as traditional Jamaican herbs, spices and housewares on our popular e-store. Click Here to learn more.

The nature of your travels will ideally determine where you go and what you do while you are here. Family vacation activities will look a bit different from those of honeymooners or those who are here as solo travellers. But I can assure you that regardless of who you are here with, you will have a lot of fun and many options to choose from.
For Families: Fun for Everyone!
Negril is a family paradise where you can enjoy the soft white sands and crystal-clear waters of Seven Mile Beach. The kids can build sandcastles while you kick back with a cool drink. Don’t miss out on snorkelling or hopping on a glass-bottom boat to discover the vibrant underwater world.
Ocho Rios is all about adventure. Hold hands, form a human chain, and climb Dunn’s River Falls for a unique experience in this tropical paradise. Head to Mystic Mountain for an adrenaline rush with rainforest bobsled rides, zip-lining, and breathtaking views from the Sky Explorer. Get up close and personal with friendly dolphins at Dolphin Cove, where your family can swim with dolphins, meet stingrays, and explore Jamaica’s rich marine life.
