We depart from Kingston to explore the island. We will start with a walk around the capital city, Kingston, and then dedicate the rest of the day to Bob Marley and everything connected to his legacy. A tour from Kingston to Bob Marley’s home in the village of Nine Mile is a journey to the roots of reggae and Rastafarian philosophy — deep into the heart of Jamaica. The road takes you through breathtaking island landscapes and the green hills of Saint Ann parish, where the legendary musician was born and raised. Along the way, you will experience authentic rural Jamaica, far from the busy resort areas.

In Nine Mile, you will visit Bob Marley’s house museum and mausoleum. The tour is led by local Rastafarian guides who share stories about Marley’s childhood, family, beliefs, artistic journey, and spiritual legacy. You will see his personal belongings, his guitar, his bedroom, and his final resting place — all presented with deep respect and authenticity.

This tour is more than just a museum visit — it is a powerful cultural immersion that helps you truly understand Jamaica, its history, and the music that changed the world.

A one-day tour to Negril and Rick’s Cafe is the perfect trip to the west of Jamaica, where you will discover some of the island’s most stunning landscapes. Negril is famous for its legendary Seven Mile Beach, with white sand and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. During the day, you will have free time for swimming, relaxing on the beach, walking along the coastline, and enjoying the laid-back Jamaican lifestyle.

The highlight of the tour will be a visit to Rick’s Cafe — an iconic spot known for its dramatic cliffs and impressive jumps into the sea. With reggae music in the background, you can watch local cliff divers or enjoy one of the most beautiful sunsets in Jamaica.

A one-day tour to Ocho Rios with a bamboo rafting experience is a perfect combination of nature, relaxation, and authentic Jamaican atmosphere. Located on the island’s northern coast, Ocho Rios is famous for its tropical landscapes, rivers, and waterfalls.

The highlight of the day is a peaceful ride on a traditional bamboo raft along a calm river surrounded by dense jungle. The slow current, birdsong, and shade of tropical trees create a truly relaxing and tranquil mood. Experienced local rafters guide the raft and share stories about Jamaican life, traditions, and culture.
