Beautiful, brash Jamaica is much more than beaches and swaying palm trees. A sensual land of bright colours, soulful rhythms and unfailing creativity, the island retains an attitude – a personality – that’s more resonant and distinctive than you’ll find in any other Caribbean nation. There’s certainly plenty of white sand and gin-clear sea to enjoy, but away from the coast are spectacular mountains and rivers, tumbling waterfalls and cactus-strewn savannah plains. This verdant natural environment forms the backdrop to a dynamic cultural history in the island’s towns and cities, illustrated most vividly by the explosive reggae scene, but also in the powerful expression of its artwork and the startlingly original flavours of its national cuisine.

Where to go in Jamaica

Jamaicans are justifiably proud of a rich musical heritage imitated the world over, as well as their incredible sporting successes on the running track and cricket pitch. This prominent and vibrant culture has left scarcely a corner of the world untouched – quite some feat, and out of all proportion to the island’s relatively tiny size. In some respects it’s a country with a swagger in its step, confident of its triumphs in the face of adversity, but also with a weight upon its shoulders. An unsparingly tough history has had to be reckoned with, and the country hasn’t avoided familiar problems of development like dramatic wealth inequality and social tensions that occasionally spill over into localized violence and worldwide headlines. The mixture is potent, producing a people as renowned for being sharp, sassy and straight-talking as they are laid-back and hip. People don’t mince their words here; Jamaicans get on with life, and their directness can make them seem cantankerous, or even uncompromising or rude. Particularly around resort towns and the major attractions this can be taken to extremes at times, though the harassment of tourists that once bedevilled the island is much less noticeable these days.

The Jamaican authorities have spent millions making sure the island treats its tourists right, and as a foreign visitor, your chances of encountering any real trouble are minuscule. As the birthplace of the all-inclusive hotel, Jamaica has become well suited to tourists who want to head straight from plane to beach, never leaving their hotel compound. But to get any sense of the country at all, you’ll need to do some exploring. It’s undoubtedly worth it, as this is a place packed with first-class attractions and natural attributes, oozing with character. Jamaica’s food and drink are one of the island’s main draws, from a plate of grilled lobster served up by the sea to conch soup or jerk chicken from a roadside stall, not to mention a variety of rums and fine Blue Mountain coffee. And with a rich music scene at its clubs, sound-system parties and stageshows, if you’re a reggae fan, you’re in heaven.

Most of Jamaica’s tourist business is concentrated in the “big three” resorts of Montego Bay, Negril and Ocho Rios. A busy commercial city, Montego Bay has a string of hotels, bars and restaurants along its beach-lined tourist strip, and manicured golf courses and high-end all-inclusives hogging the coast to the east. West of here, its low-rise hotels slung along eleven kilometres of fantastic white sand and three kilometres of dramatic cliffs, Negril is younger, more laid-back and with a long-standing reputation for hedonism and buzzing nightlife. East of MoBay, and the least individualistic of the big three, Ocho Rios embodies high-impact tourism – purpose-built in the 1960s to provide the ultimate package of sun, sand and sea. The beaches aren’t wonderful, but the tourist infrastructure is undeniably strong and you’re right by several excellent attractions, including the famous Dunn’s River waterfall.

Away from these resorts, you’ll have to look a bit harder to find your entertainment – Jamaica’s quieter east and south coasts offer a less packaged product. In the island’s east, lush, rain-fed, sleepy Port Antonio and a number of villages to its east provide gateways to some of the county’s greatest natural attractions, like the cascading waterfalls at Reach and Somerset and outdoor activities such as swimming at the Blue Lagoon and rafting on the majestic Rio Grande. The south coast offers different pleasures, such as gentle beach action at the terminally easy-going Treasure Beach – the perfect base for exploring local delights like the YS waterfalls or boat safaris in search of crocodiles on the Black River. Set in the upper reaches of the Santa Cruz Mountains, the south’s inland towns, such as Mandeville and Christiana, offer respite from the heat of the coast and an interesting insight into Jamaica away from the resorts.

Kingston is the true heart of Jamaica. A thrilling place pulsating with energy and spirit, it’s not just the nation’s political capital but the focus of its art, theatre and music scenes, with top-class hotels, restaurants and shopping, and legendary fried fish on offer at the fabulous Hellshire beach. This is the best place to experience Jamaica’s electric nightlife scene; its venues and street dances are nearly always packed with patrons, the music super-loud and dancers vying with each other for the best moves and dress. A stunning backdrop to the city, the cool Blue Mountains are a captivating antidote, with plenty of marvellous hiking, while the nearby fishing village of Port Royal, once a great pirate city, provides some historic diversion.

• Erin B 1 contribution 0 5.0 of 5 bubbles Kingston, Jamaica 2024 Wow!!!! I will start there with how amazed I was with Kingston!!! Generous hospitality and exciting sites to see! On our second day, my friends and family met Marie and she welcomed us with open arms at the last minute to take us on a tour for a full day. She surprised us as well by adding a walk through the Art District and the National Museum of Jamaica. Even more special, she took us to the Bob Marley Museum and Devon House. She is so friendly and personable! She sat with us for lunch and made us all feel like she was part of the family vacation. Marie also connected us with a tour guide for a Blue Mountain tour the next day as well!!! I must say not only did I enjoy my hotel at the Rok and the sights, but Marie made the experience in Kingston 10 times more amazing!!

Visitors come to sip strong coffee, brewed from the freshly-picked beans of the lush Blue Mountains, and wander the hiking routes of the Island’s inland troves, where misty waterfalls and wild jungles converge on tribal town steads and mysterious shaman huts to boot. In the cities, the French colonial facades and frontispieces, once the administrative centres of the Atlantic slave trade, and now the lively reggae bars of Kingston or Montego Bay welcome with their foot tapping beats. But, while wholly set apart in culture and style from the Caribbean islands that so tantalizingly surround it, Jamaica still boasts an array of beaches and coastal hotspots worthy of the region’s reputation. With everything from laid-back ivory sand stretches to shady diving coves, it’s not surprising that any Jamaica tourist guide is quick to extoll the virtues of this island’s paradisiacal coast.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Jamaica

1. Cliff jump at Rick’s Cafe

Rick’s Cafe was founded in Negril 1974 by Richard Hershman and is now in the list of Top 10 Bars in the World. This restaurant and bar overlooking the ocean is a popular place for locals and visitors alike with spectacular sunsets and cliff jumping. It’s about 35 feet to the water, so if the height is too much for you, you can just relax and enjoy the view with a drink.

2. Go on a rum tour

Rum, made from fermenting and distilling sugarcane, is one of Jamaica’s biggest exports. If you’re a rum aficionado, this is your chance to get up close with the production and tasting process. Tour Appleton Estate in St. Elizabeth, voted one of the best in the Caribbean, which has been producing rum since 1749 (they produce 10 million liters of rum each year). It’s located in the beautiful Nassau Valley and offers the chance to learn how rum is produced (samples included). Worthy Park and Hampden Estate also offer rum tours.

3. Hang out at the beach

Jamaica is rich with soft, powdery beaches. In Montego Bay, head to Doctor’s Cave Beach on Jamaica’s Hip Strip, one of the country’s finest and most popular beaches with miles of impeccably white sand and sparkling waters that are said to have healing properties. It’s also a great place for snorkeling. If you want something more secluded, choose Cornwall Beach with its chill vibes, lounge chairs, and sunset beach parties on Sundays. In Negril, Seven Mile Beach has a history of pirates and stunning turquoise perfect water with something for everyone including water sports, snorkeling, diving, and more. You can even rent jet skis or kayaks and explore on your own or go horseback riding on the beach. There are many eateries and restaurants for incredible seafood and places to take in the sunset. And past the overpriced hub around Margaritaville, you’ll find quieter stretches of pristine sand.

4. Lose yourself in the clouds

The Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park lies to the east of the island and covers over 100,00 acres. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to many rare and endangered mammals, amphibians, and bird species. The Blue Mountains here are the longest mountain range in Jamaica and offer incredibly lush scenery of 1,300 flowering plants and 530 fern species. It’s a great place to bird watch and hike the Holywell Nature Walks that take you through the rare tropical Cloud Forest. A short drive from Kingston, this park offers hiking, biking, and coffee plantation tours.

5. Explore Montego Bay

Montego Bay is the third largest city in Jamaica and the top place for tourist bars, international restaurants, beautiful beaches, and epic parties. There are tons of things to do here, from chilling and floating down the Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft, doing eco-adventure tours to the Rockspring Caves, or visiting the 18th-century Rose Hall Great House Georgian mansion. There is the famous Luminous Lagoon, one of the most popular bioluminescent bays in the world that offers a rare chance to see glowing blue waters at night. If you’re a foodie, there are several Jamaican food tours where you can taste delicious jerk chicken and other local favorites.

Other Things to See and Do in Jamaica

1. raft the rio grande.

For a unique look at the landscape, head to the Port Antonio area and take a guided trip down the Rio Grande River on a bamboo raft. This is one of the best ways to see the many caves, waterfalls, and crystal springs that are tucked away throughout the island. A three-hour rafting trip costs 15,500 JMD per person with Rio Grande Rafting Tour.

2. Go snorkeling

On Jamaica’s northern coast, you’ll find a wide array of sea life. Here you can go snorkeling and see coral, stingrays, lionfish, barracuda, and more. Ocho Rios is another exciting place to snorkel, with plentiful scorpionfish, lettuce sea slugs, and nurse sharks. Guided trips start around 5,300 JMD.

3. Explore the Green Grotto

Over 1,000 caves dot the Jamaican landscape. Green Grotto Caves on the north coast is probably the most famous. The caves are made of limestone and the tides have etched the walls with the green algae that have given the cave its name. As you move through the cave, you’ll walk through a forest of stalactites and stalagmites. Fun fact: Spaniards hid here in the 17th century when the English invaded Jamaica. Entry is 3,050 JMD per person.

4. Tour the Sun Valley Plantation

Visit the Sun Valley Plantation in Ocho Rios to learn about the island’s history, from the slave trade to the present day, as well as what life was like living on a plantation growing coffee, bananas, and tropical fruits. It’s an immersive experience, where you’ll get to meet the owners and the hardworking staff. The tour takes 90 minutes and includes samples of the plantation’s tasty fruits. This tour doesn’t gloss over the hard facts that this plantation once used slaves for profit. Tours cost 8,600-12,000 JMD.

5. Explore Kingston

The capital of Jamaica, Kingston, is a rough-and-tumble kind of place. It’s worth a visit for a day or two. Check out some of the important landmarks, like Devon House, built in the Jamaican Georgian style typical of the plantation homes built by colonists during the slave trade. It’s 1,775 JMD to visit and admission includes a snack or beverage of your choice. Also, don’t miss King’s House (the official residence of the Governor-General), the Prime Minister’s house, and the Bob Marley Museum. While you’re here, be sure to head out and listen to some live reggae at the Dub Club, visit the National Gallery of Jamaica, go shopping at the Coronation Market, and chill out in Emancipation Park.

6. Climb the Dunn’s River Falls

Located in Ocho Rios, these falls cascade over plateaus 600 feet above the ground. You can actually climb up them if you’re feeling adventurous or just walk the trail that follows the river and go for a swim in one of the many azure pools at the base of the falls. Entrance is 3,800 JMD. If you enjoy adrenaline activities, you can also zipline here.

7. Birdwatch at Cockpit Country

Jamaica has 150 resident species of birds, with 29 of those species being endemic to the island. Just southeast of Montego Bay lies Cockpit Country, an area rife with nearly 110 of these species. Keep an eye out for Black-billed Parrots, endangered Jamaican Blackbirds, and Blue Mountain Vireos. The area itself is lush and scenic, with sinkholes of dissolved limestone and lots of rivers.

8. Swim the Blue Hole

Blue Hole is one of the less touristy swimming spots on the island. Admission costs 3,800 JMD while a tour that includes hiking to a mini waterfall, cliff jumping, a rope swing, swimming in some blue lagoons, and plenty of stunning scenery costs 7,600 JMD. For an extra fee, you can also go river tubing or bamboo rafting. Just be aware that there’s not anywhere you can store your bags, so if you don’t have in a car to keep your belongings, bring a waterproof bag you can keep your stuff in while you swim. )

9. Take a day trip to Portland

This area is off the tourist trail and a nice alternative to the crowds on the coast. Here, you’ll be rewarded with peaceful beaches, endless natural beauty, and friendly locals who aren’t afraid to chat you up. While you’re here, visit the Blue Lagoon, see Somerset Falls, and sample plenty of jerk chicken in the town of Boston.

10. Visit the Bob Marley Museum

Bob Marley, one of Jamaica’s most famous artists, is often blaring in the background all around the country. Visit his house on Hope Road in Kingston where he lived and worked between 1975-1981. You’ll learn about his life, with glimpses into his recording studio and bedroom. Admission is 3,800 JMD or book a combo “One Love” tour for 6,095 JMD that includes Bob Marley’s “Making of the Music” tour.

Jamaica Travel Costs

Hostel prices – A bed in a 4-6-bed dorm in touristy places like Montego Bay costs about 3,500-3,800 JMD per night. They start from 2,200 JMD in places like Port Antonio. A private room with a shared bathroom costs about 6,500 JMD per night and a room with a private bathroom is around 7,400 JMD. Free Wi-Fi is standard and most hostels also have self-catering facilities.

For those traveling with a tent, there are a few campsites in Jamaica. You can get a plot for a two-person tent without electricity for as little as 300 JMD per night.

Budget hotel prices – Budget two- and three-star hotels start at 6,150 JMD per night in less touristy areas like Port Antonio but are closer to 8,000 JMD near beach resort areas. Expect basic amenities like free Wi-Fi, TV, and occasionally free breakfast.

Airbnb is available everywhere in Jamaica. For a private room, expect to pay from 5,700 JMD per night, while an entire home/apartment averages closer to 10,000-12,000 JMD per night.

Food – Jamaican cuisine is influenced by a mix of Caribbean, African, and European flavors, owing to the numerous countries that have occupied the island over the years. Seafood and tropical fruits are super common here, and popular dishes include goat curry, patties (a savory turnover), saltfish (dried and salted cod), and dumplings.

A casual lunch at an inexpensive restaurant costs around 800 JMD. You’ll find stewed chicken or beef on most menus for about 450 JMD, and jerk chicken is about the same price.

A combo meal at McDonald’s costs about 1000 JMD while a large pizza costs about 2,200 JMD. If you want to splash out, a three-course meal at a mid-range restaurant costs around 3,500 JMD with drinks.

Beer is around 400 JMD, and a latte/cappuccino is around 480 JMD. Bottled water is closer to 115 JMD.

If you plan on cooking your own food, expect to pay 7,000 JMD per week for groceries. That includes basic staples like pasta, rice, seasonal produce, and some meat or seafood.

Backpacking Jamaica Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Jamaica, my suggested budget is around 7,000 JMD per day. This assumes you’re staying in a hostel, cooking all your meals, limiting your drinking, taking the bus to get around, and doing mostly free activities like lounging on the beach and swimming. If you plan on drinking, add an extra 500-1,500 JMD to your daily budget.

On a mid-range budget of 17,000 JMD per day, you can stay in an Airbnb, eat out for a few meals, enjoy a few drinks, take the occasional taxi to get around, and do some paid activities like rafting or snorkeling.

On a “luxury” budget of 34,000 JMD or more per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out for all your meals, drink more, rent a car to get around, and do whatever tours and activities you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

You can use the chart below to get some idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages – some days you spend more, some days you spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in JMD.

Jamaica Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Although Jamaica is a holiday destination, there’s more to the island than the resorts. Once you step out of the resort bubble, you’ll really lower your costs (and experience a more local version of the country). Here are some ways you can save money in Jamaica:

• Shop around for tours – If you’re going snorkeling, shop around for the best price as equipment and tours can vary widely even along one beach front.
• Avoid spring break – If you visit during the American spring break season in March or April, you’ll pay 25% or more for everything.
• Enjoy nature – Relax on the beach, go for a hike, or take in a sunset. Jamaica’s natural beauty is breathtaking and free, so drink it in!
• Pay in Jamaican dollars – When possible, pay for anything in Jamaican dollars. You’ll often get a better exchange rate.
• Look for deals and discounts – Visit Jamaica has a whole section on their website (visitjamaica.com/travel-deals) dedicated to travel discounts, deals, and bundles. Some are meh, but sometimes there are sizeable discounts on hotels.
• Shop for souvenirs at supermarkets – If you want to purchase souvenirs like coffee, jerk seasoning, or hot sauce, go to a supermarket like Quality Traders rather than a souvenir kiosk.
• Stay with a local – There are a few Couchsurfing hosts in Jamaica so use the app to find free accommodation during your visit. You’ll save money and get to connect with a local who can share their insider tips and advice with you.
• Bring a water bottle – The tap water here is generally safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Jamaica

Jamaica has a fair number of hostels and budget accommodations. Here are my suggested places to stay:

• MoBay Kotch (Montego Bay)
• Five Gables (Montego Bay)
• Raggamuffin Hostel & Coffee Bar (Kingston)
• Jay’s Guest House (Blue Mountains)

How to Get Around Jamaica

Public transportation – Jamaica has an extensive transportation network of buses and minibusses that link almost all the villages and towns — and they’re very affordable. There is often no set timetable though so buses leave when they’re full. For that reason, make sure you’re flexible when taking the bus. Buses and minibusses charge around 150-170 JMD.

Taxi – Taxis have a 225 JMD starting fare and charge 725 JMD per kilometer. While affordable, they add up fast so use them sparingly.

Bus – Coach buses can get you to and from most of Jamaica’s touristy destinations. Knutsford Express is one of the most popular buses, with a two-hour trip between Kingston and Ocho Rios costing about 2,850 JMD. A four-hour trip from Kingston to Montego Bay is about 3,800 JMD.

You can also take minibuses (“coasters”) everywhere. Licensed minibusses have a PPV license plate (public passenger vehicle) or a JUTA sticker (Jamaica Union of Travelers Association) and are exclusively used by tourists. They tend to leave on a pre-set schedule.

Scooter – You can rent a scooter or motorcycle from various places around Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios for about 4,500-9,200 JMD per day, with motorcycles being on the higher end. Remember to always wear a helmet!

Bicycle – The roads here aren’t the safest for cycling, but if you want to rent a bike, rentals start around 2,000 JMD per day.

Car rental – Car rentals can be found for around 4,500- 6,000 JMD per day for a multi-day rental. Renters need to be 21 and have an International Driving Permit (IDP). For the best car rental prices, use Discover Cars .

When to Go to Jamaica

Jamaica has pleasant weather year-round, with temperatures ranging from the mid-20s°C (70s°F) to 30s°C (high 80s°F).

January to March is the peak season for the island, with prices spiking all over the place. This is when the island is at its liveliest.

To beat the crowds, avoid popular breaks like Christmas, Easter, and Spring Break. Otherwise, you’ll be shoulder-to-shoulder with tourists at most resorts and beaches. Prices are much higher too.

Personally, I think October to mid-December is the best time to visit if you want to take advantage of the high temperatures in the shoulder season. Hotel and flight deals are usually the best during this time and the crowds are a little thinner.

How to Stay Safe in Jamaica

Jamaica is a relatively safe place to backpack and travel but crime does happen here, especially at night and around the party areas of the country. Petty theft is very common so keep an eye out for pickpocketing. Never leave your valuables unattended while at the beach.

When out and about, do not flash around any cash or valuables. Keep them at your hotel in a safety deposit box whenever possible. This is especially true in touristy areas like Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, and Negril. Keep your hotel/accommodation doors and windows locked at all times as break-ins can occur.

Kingston is, unfortunately, no stranger to violent crime and gang activity. If you want to explore Kingston, do not go out alone at night.

LGBTQ travelers should practice caution here. Homophobia is rampant and there are laws against same-sex relations.

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.).

If you’re worried about getting scammed, you can read about common travel scams to avoid here.

If you experience an emergency, dial 110 for an ambulance or the fire department. Dial 119 for police.

My biggest piece of advice is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Jamaica Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources

These are my favorite companies to use when I travel. They consistently have the best deals, offer world-class customer service and great value, and overall, are better than their competitors. They are the companies I use the most and are always the starting point in my search for travel deals.

• Skyscanner – Skyscanner is my favorite flight search engine. They search small websites and budget airlines that larger search sites tend to miss. They are hands down the number one place to start.
• Hostelworld – This is the best hostel accommodation site out there with the largest inventory, best search interface, and widest availability.
• Booking.com – The best all around booking site that constantly provides the cheapest and lowest rates. They have the widest selection of budget accommodation. In all my tests, they’ve always had the cheapest rates out of all the booking websites.
• Get Your Guide – Get Your Guide is a huge online marketplace for tours and excursions. They have tons of tour options available in cities all around the world, including everything from cooking classes, walking tours, street art lessons, and more!
• SafetyWing – Safety Wing offers convenient and affordable plans tailored to digital nomads and long-term travelers. They have cheap monthly plans, great customer service, and an easy-to-use claims process that makes it perfect for those on the road.
• LifeStraw – My go-to company for reusable water bottles with built-in filters so you can ensure your drinking water is always clean and safe.
• Unbound Merino – They make lightweight, durable, easy-to-clean travel clothing.
• Top Travel Credit Cards – Points are the best way to cut down travel expenses. Here’s my favorite point earning credit cards so you can get free travel!
