best of jamaica blue mountain jamaica

Getting an early start to the day, we will drive an hour to the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. Here we will visit the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park where we will view diverse flora and fauna, see the most breathtaking landscapes, hike to a magical (and secret) waterfall, and learn how the Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee is produced from the farming fields to the table.

The Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park is famous for its huge variety of birdlife, having almost 200 different bird species in total. Your private tour guide will know the best places to find the tropical birds, including Jamaica’s National Bird – the "doctor bird" or swallow-tailed humming bird. The doctor bird is found only in Jamaica and is one of the most outstanding hummingbirds out of the 320 different species of its kind.

A coffee farm visit to where one of the best coffees in the world is produced will be a part of this exciting tour. The famous Blue Mountain Coffee is pure estate origin coffee, grown and made from start to finish directly in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. The coffee is produced in a specified zone that ranges higher than 3,000 feet above sea level. The cool, misty air and mountain breeze make for its authenticity. You will see how the coffee is produced, and will also be able to savour a delicious cup at the end of the tour. Don’t forget to grab some extra coffee to take home for family and friends, as it may very well be the best coffee in the world. In the afternoon, we will stop for a delicious Jamaican lunch and take a scenic drive back to the hotel accommodation in Kingston. We recommend bringing comfortable shoes for walking and a jacket as it can get cold quickly within the Blue Mountains. Overnight in Kingston, Jamaica.

Our next stop is the Blue Lagoon, a hidden scenic gem in Portland. The Blue Lagoon is quite magical as the water is cold and warm at the same time with different shades of blue; a perfect gift of nature. Here you and your group will have the option to spend the afternoon enjoying the stunning scenery or take a boat ride to the Monkey Island to enjoy the beach.

The South Coast is known for small intimate communities, safaris, peppered shrimp at Middle Quarters, papaya daiquiris at YS Falls, and many more great attractions. Experience a day on the South Coast and learn why it's referred to as the “off the beaten path” resort area of Jamaica. Some of the best attractions we will be visiting in the South Coast include:

Bamboo Avenue: a beautiful bamboo canopy lined on both sides of the road. It's a terrific place to stop, take photos, and enjoy a freshly-chopped, ice-cold jelly coconut.

Middle Quarters: for all shrimp lovers - known for the best shrimp on the island!

Black River Safari: considered by many to be Safari at its finest. A boat ride will take you on the river where there will be crocodiles everywhere for you to view safely. After the boat ride, opt in to visit the nursery where you can see and feed the baby crocs.

YS Falls: a hidden scenic treasure described as a magical experience and one of the most beautiful sights in Jamaica. Relax in the mineral water, do the ziplines, and swing across the rope swings. Seize the moment at YS Falls.

Lover’s Leap: enjoy history of the Jamaican culture and take in the breathtaking views right on the edge of a cliff.

Pelican Bar: a short boat ride takes you to a bar in the middle of a Tropical Bay, also known as the Pelican Bar. Enjoy a cold Red Stripe, play a game of Domino with the locals, and have a refreshing dip in the shallow waters of the sandbar where dolphins are often visible. Overnight in Negril, Jamaica.
