A selection of Jamaica highlights
As you will find out, Jamaica is more than Rasta, Reggae and white sanded beaches. Its nature and history are fascinating and the people welcomes you with pride and hospitality.
Here are some highlights, but we can tell you, there are many, many more (which you can find in the Cities and Parishes sections)!

Kingston - Devon House
Devon House, Kingston. Built by millionaire George Stiebel in 1881. Enjoy delicious ice-cream in a 19th century ambiance.
Rocklands Bird Feeding Station near Montego Bay. Founded in 1958 you can feed about 140 birds by hand - if they like you...
Rick's Café, Negril. Watch the most beautiful sunset on earth with a Tequila Sunrise in one hand - and your lover in the other.
Dunn's River Falls near Ocho Rios. Climb the falls!!!
Blue Mountain Peak -Walk to the highest top in the Blue Mountains during the night to wave Fidel Castro -or his brother Raúl- good morning and see a wonderful sunrise.
Boston Bay - The place to taste real hot Jerk pork. Don't forget to order a bottle of Red Stripe!
Nine Mile - Bob Marley Mausoleum. Getting there is an experience on its own but visiting Jamaica without a stop at Nine Mile is like visiting Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower.
Blue Lagoon near Port Antonio. Can you imagine Brooke Shields did swim here for a movieshot, without any clothes on? Yes, you can, it's beautiful upthere!
Black River - Let a guide take you in his canoe upriver into the Great Morass to feed the crocodiles. The crocs really love you when you do that...
Reggae Sumfest - Montego Bay. Five nights of hot reggae and dancehall in July.
And the weather...
Yeah mon, always complaining 'bout the weather! Don't worry, this is absolutely human...
And oh yes, there is rain too down there in Jamaica. But so what, that makes the island green and the fruits juicy! So stop complaining and see for yourself the climate is sooooo nice....

Jamaica sunset

Okay, okay, we have to admit; sometimes the weather in the Caribbean is not so nice at all...
From July till October it can be pretty rough out there. In that case, take a look at the National Hurricane Center for the latest storm updates!
