Sports Tours to Jamaica
Flight Time = approximately 9 hours
Jamaica, the third-largest island in the Caribbean , is also one of the most colourful. Explore the idyllic white sand beaches and vibrant tropical blooms which sit on a backdrop of blue mountain peaks. Renowned as the birthplace of Bob Marley, reggae remains at the island's musical heart. Excellent tourist facilities and attractions range from leafy parks to handsome colonial towns. Montego Bay is one of Jamaica 's main coastal resorts, attracting a mix of tourists with exquisite sands, fine restaurants and world-class golf. Journey a short distance along the coast to discover 'the real Jamaica ', amidst street markets of ackee, yam and breadfruit. Explore the quaint fishing villages of Treasure Beach , Port Antonio and Oracabessa, sleepy retreats that offer a glimpse of Jamaica 's quieter side.
Low-key and relaxed, Montego Bay or Mo-Bay, as the locals call it, is warm year-round. Swim and snorkel in clear water at Doctor's Cave and Fletcher Beach , dive in the ominously named Widowmaker's Cave, and golf on courses such as Half Moon and Tryall. Off the beaten path, experience a variety of outdoor activities at Chukka Caribbean Adventures, and tour Rose Hall Great House, a former sugar plantation with a spooky past.
Ocho Rios offers the white sands and clear water expected of a Caribbean island, complete with waterfalls and rainforests. Swim with the dolphins at Dolphin Cove, or experience the island’s beauty with a Blue Mountain Bicycle Tour. Reggae fans should make the trip to Nine Mile, Bob Marley's birth and final resting place.
