Jamaica is a family-friendly travel getaway, thanks to its many all-inclusive beach resorts, but the fun doesn't end at the hotel. Be sure to go zip-lining, bobsled on a mountain coaster, take a catamaran trip on Negril's beautiful coast, go horse-riding, go on river adventures, visit Dunn's River waterfalls, and go dog-sledding! A lot of these activities are within a day's distance of any of the main resort areas.
Jamaica is around 146 miles wide and 51 miles north-south, though road conditions and traffic may add time to your trip.
Did you know about the Meet the People Program?
The Meet the People program was launched in 1968 by the Jamaica Tourist Board (JTB) to reach out to curious visitors of the island nation who are interested in exploring the culture of this vibrant Caribbean island. The program takes them beyond the traditional resort and beach setting into the colorful realm of Jamaica's lifestyle, traditions, and customs.
Meet the People is free for anyone who may be interested in this unique experience. The program allows tourists to me
et Meet the People's ambassadors and their peers who share a common profession, hobby, or interest.
For all you foodies!!
Jamaican cuisine is a combination of cooking techniques, flavors, spices, and influences from the indigenous people on the island of Jamaica, and other ethnicities who have inhabited the island. Aside from the ingredients that exist in Jamaica, any foods that have been introduced are now grown locally. A wide variety of seafood, tropical fruits, and meats are available.
Jamaican cuisine has been adopted by Irish, African, Indian, British, French, Spanish, and Chinese influences. Jamaican patties and a lot of bread and pastries are also a staple as well as fruit beverages and Jamaican rum.
