Travel to Jamaica

Jamaica is often voted as one of the best islands in the world. It is a Commonwealth realm, which makes traveling to this Caribbean destination an easy process. In return, you’ll be able to find the perfect 5-star resort, beautiful beaches, and incredible fine dining experiences to explore.

This island nation has had a strong cultural influence on the world, despite its diminutive size. Music genres like reggae, ska, and dancehall all originated on the island.

Many of the top sights in Jamaica are named after the people or places that helped to promote the island to the world. James Bond Beach is in Oracabessa and offers emerald waters that grace a palm-swept white sand beach. Dunn’s River Falls are an incredible natural find that you’ll want to make time to enjoy. Touring the Bob Marley Museum is another top destination to enjoy, especially on a day when the weather doesn’t want to cooperate.

Activities are readily available with a stay in Jamaica. A top choice for visitors is an afternoon at Dolphin Cove, which will give you the chance to swim with local dolphin pods. Golfing, deep sea fishing, and various water sports are all available as well.

For those who love a good trekking adventure, there are trails of varying difficulties available at Blue Mountains National Park.

Jamaica is an island destination that will intrigue your sense of adventure. Find your way to its sandy shores and you will have a travel experience like none other.
