JAMAICA: BEYOND THE RESORT

Hello Vacationers,

Hopefully, you are staying healthy and as happy as possible. Need a break from your busy schedule? Please take a minute to escape with us to explore beautiful Jamaica.

We all know that Jamaica is known for its great beaches and tropical sunsets, but there is a lot more to do than go to the beach. Although this is a great way to spend a vacation, some people want to be able to do a little more and see Jamaica and all the things that it has to offer. So here is a list of some of the most amazing things to do in Jamaica that don’t involve sitting on the beach and catching some rays.

Water Other Than the Beach

Blue Hole

This beautiful “cenote†type body of water is rumored to be bottomless, according to locals. The turquoise blue water is surrounded by some of the tremendous tropical greenery that makes Jamaica beautiful. It is the perfect place for some snorkeling, swimming, and many people love to jump in from the vines in the trees that surround the Blue Hole.

Swimming with Horses

This is an attraction that is offered at some of the resorts across Jamaica, such as Half Moon Resort. These resort train thoroughbred horses to swim with visitors on their backs. Many people say that riding a horse is a spiritual experience, imagine getting into the water with these majestic creatures who, by the way, are great swimmers.

Great Places to Eat

Rick’s Café

Rick’s Café in Negril, Jamaica, sits atop beautiful 35-foot tall cliffs overlooking the ocean. Aside from the great food and drinks, visitors can go to cliff jump off these cliffs.
