Jamaica - Activities
Blue Mountains
Jamaica is a large island so it is often a day trip to get from one area to the next. For guests staying near Montego Bay, we recommend a day trip to the Blue Mountains on the east side of Jamaica. Home of the popular Jamaican blue coffee plantations, this area provides excellent hiking and scenery.
