Today, we'll head north out of the city, following the winding and unmarked roads upwards into the Blue Mountains. This place is famous amongst coffee lovers thanks to its single-origin coffee - we'll head to one of the area's best-known plantations. Way up in the Blu...
We'll have a leisurely start this morning before we travel to Charlestown for lunch and to learn about the story of the Maroons. Since the 1700s, pockets of Maroon settlements have existed in Jamaica - escaped or freed slaves who were able to fight off the British and...
This morning we'll visit the mesmerizing Blue Lagoon where we will stop for some time to relax and have a swim. We will then continue to Frenchmen's Cove to spend a relaxing morning on the white-sand beach, which is sheltered in a secluded cove and backed by lush gree...
This morning is free to enjoy Port Antonio - there might be the chance to visit a church service in the local area. We'll then continue to Ocho Rios, arriving around 2pm. This afternoon, we have the option to visit the Dunns River Falls, explore the local area or relax by the pool at our hotel.

Our drive this morning takes us inland towards the rolling hills of Jamaica's interior and our first stop, the Appleton Estate Rum Distillery. The estate, located amongst beautiful countryside, has been producing rum since the 1700s, and our tour today will show us ho...
