Things to do in Jamaica: 7 must-do suggestions


1.    Catch a dancehall party on the streets of Kingston

Dancehall music is a cornerstone of Jamaican culture. And there's nothing like experiencing it at a street party. Kingston, the country's capital, welcomes you to its most popular events: Weddy Weddy Wednesdays at Stone Love Headquarters and Uptown Mondays at Savannah Plaza. Get ready to dance a lot!

2.    Dunn's River Falls

Dunn's River Falls is one of the country's top natural attractions. With their unique terraces, they are a refreshing adventure in the Jamaican jungle. A tour guide is recommended to help you navigate the most stunning pools and waterfalls. Accessible to everyone, it is a fantastic destination for families and groups.

3.    Visit the Bob Marley Museum

Reggae enthusiasts can visit Bob Marley's former home in Kingston, which is now a museum. The space houses his personal belongings, including instruments and clothing, and offers an intimate glimpse into the life of the music legend. Tip: Visit the museum on Bob Marley's birthday (February 6) for a free celebration featuring performances by reggae artists, including his children.

4.    Taste Authentic Jerk Chicken and Pork

Authentic jerk cuisine is a unique Jamaican treasure. Made with a blend of spices such as allspice, scotch bonnet peppers and garlic, the meat is marinated for hours and slowly cooked over charcoal or wood to give it its distinctive smoky flavor. From restaurants to street vendors, jerk is everywhere. For a more authentic experience, head to Portland's Boston Bay. This is the birthplace of jerk cuisine, where street vendors serve the best version of this delicacy!

5.    Hiking in the Blue mountains

Jamaica's Blue Mountains offer breathtaking adventures with misty peaks, dense forests and waterfalls. The famous Blue Mountain Peak Trail is a must-do for hikers and nature lovers.


6.    Swimming in the Luminous Lagoon

The Luminous Lagoon in Trelawny offers a mesmerizing experience with its glowing waters caused by bioluminescent organisms (microalgae). Take a guided boat tour at sunset to witness this magical phenomenon and swim in its magical waters.


7.    Explore the History of Port Royal

Once nicknamed "the richest and wickedest city on Earth" for its wealth, lack of morals, and pirate haven, Port Royal offers a glimpse into its past. Visit Fort Charles for a historic walking tour and explore the exhibits at the Maritime Museum. Take a detour and cruise to Lime Cay or Maiden Cay for pristine, paradise-like beaches.
