Getting an early start to the day, your group will drive an hour to the UNESCO World Heritage site, Blue & John Crow Mountains National Park. Here you'll view an abundance of diverse flora and fauna, visit a beautiful waterfall, and explore the mountain rainforests. The Park is famous for its huge variety of birdlife, containing almost 200 different species. Your guide will know the best places to find tropical birds, especially Jamaica’s National Bird –the doctor bird or swallow tail humming bird - found only in Jamaica.

A coffee farm visit will be a part of this exciting tour. The famous Blue Mountain Coffee is pure estate origin coffee. It's produced in a specified zone 3,000 feet above sea level in cool misty air that makes for its authenticity. The group will see how coffee is produced and will savour a delicious cup at the end of the tour. Don’t forget to purchase some coffee to take home for family and friends, as it may very well be one of the best coffees in the world. In the afternoon, we'll stop for a succulent Jamaican lunch and a scenic drive back to Kingston.

This is an amazing experience and has always been a tourist favorite. Make sure to bring comfortable walking shoes and a jacket, as it can get cold quickly.

Day 4: South Coast & The Cockpit Country (L)

Today you will go on an exciting nature excursion throughout the South Coast to visit the last remaining wilderness in Jamaica. Take a walk through Maroon history and learn how they formed a free community in the Peace Cave, known as the place where the peace treaty was signed between Cudjoe and the British to establish the first African State in Jamaica.

There are 1,500 different species of flora and fauna that exist in the region. Experience the ultimate sightseeing tour as you hike through the natural wilderness. After lunch, you will visit a cave where the stalactites and stalagmites are well pronounced and you can even enjoy a swim in the pool on the inside of the cave.

You’ll see how Maroon people live day-by-day, how they communicate with the Abeng, learn about the Maroon culture, and what makes the Maroons unique in Jamaica. The Maroons are descendants from West African slaves brought to Jamaica by the Spanish. They escaped slavery and fled to the isolated mountains where they established their autonomy. They established their freedom approximately 200 years before Jamaica’s independence and over 50 years before British abolish slave trade. (Breakfast, lunch and dinner included).
