What to expect

"You'll feel at one with nature as you glide down the Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft," says Tania, one of our expert local guides. This truly Jamaican experience is one of the highlights of this tour, along with the chance to watch a wow-factor natural phenomenon at the Luminous Lagoon. The magic of nature makes the waters glow an electric blue here – so a swim in the neon deep, plus a Jamaican dinner and limbo show, make this tour a bucket-list must.

Get ready to kick off your adventure of bamboo rafting down the serene Martha Brae River. Just sit back, soak in the tropical vibes, and let the lush scenery wash over you. After rafting, you'll drive through the town of Falmouth, a historic town bursting with charm and culture – and a great place to soak up Jamaican history. Plus, it's the childhood stomping ground of world's fastest man Usain Bolt. You'll also get to check out St Peter's Anglican Church, one of the oldest churches in Jamaica.

Next up is the star of the show. Tania says "this lagoon is one of only four of its kind anywhere in the world. It's like stepping into a scene from the movie Avatar. That's why I find it such a special, magical place." Arriving at the Luminous Lagoon just after sunset, you'll have time to take a dip in the glowing neon waters. Finally, unwind with a welcome drink and sit back with a Jamaican dinner. As you let the vibrant flavours, made from locally sourced ingredients, tickle your taste buds, you'll enjoy an entertaining limbo dancing show.

    De excursie wat mooi maar zeker geen 165 euro op waard. Het raften over de Martha Brae was mooi. Het eten was niet echt top en we werden vrij snel weer van de tafel af gestuurd omdat ze de tafel weer nodig hadden voor nieuwe gasten. Daarna moesten we erg lang wachten totdat het donker was om in de Luminous Lagoon te zwemmen. Dit was een leuke ervaring maar niet heel bijzonder. Toen we terug kwamen was de limbo show al begonnen die ook niet zo heel veel voor stelde.

    Tijdens de busreis stop je bij een giftshop, ze dringen aan op kopen van waterschoenen die NIET!! nodig zijn deze tour!Martha brae was prachtig, het varen duurt een uur. Er waren geen muggen of andere insecten.De raft is niet versiert zoals je soms op social media ziet. Aan het eind kan de rafter je zelf gemaakte eigen dingen willen verkopen maar een vriendelijke nee is voldoende. Een tip wordt gewaardeerd, geen must. De lagoon was leuk alleen amper te zien op foto’s.

    Raften op de Martha Brae River is erg relaxed, was ook niet heel erg druk, dus we konden direct naar ons vlot om te vertrekken. Luminous Lagoon is een apart fenomeen, oplichtend water bij aanraking, wel commercieel, maar niet op een vervelende manier! Jerk Chicken en Rice and Peas waren erg lekker, evenals de rumpunch!

Dunn's River Falls Nogine Mile på udflugt

To jamaicanske legender er trækplastrene på denne uimodståelige udflugt. Du besøger den landsby i højlandet, som gav verden Bob Marley, for at udforske hans fødested og mausoleum, og du opdager en af de mest eksotiske naturattraktioner i landet - Dunn's River Falls.Dit udflugtseventyr starter stort set i det øjeblik, du forlader dit hotel, når du kører til kysten for at besøge Dunn's River Falls, som havde hovedrollen i James Bond-klassikeren Dr. No. Disse 55 meter høje og 180 meter brede vandfald er spækket med laguner, og det er en oplevelse i sig selv at bestige dem. Når vi kører ind i landet ad en snoet og til tider ujævn vej til St Ann Parish, kan man forvente en fantastisk udsigt over Dry Harbour Mountains, før man når frem til Nine Mile. Bob Marleys fødested er en national helligdom, og masser af rastafarier myldrer rundt udenfor. Du ser hans hjem og sidste hvilested, mens din guide fortæller dig om hans liv og musik.

Spirit of the Maroons - kulturel udflugt på Jamaica med frokost

Din rejse gennem Jamaicas nordlige del afslører øens kultur og historie. Du besøger Charles Town Maroon Museum for at lære om maroonernes kamp for frihed, nyder en velsmagende frokost og slentrer gennem Sun Valleys landbrugsområder for at smage friske frugter og grøntsager. Jada, en af vores lokale specialistguider, fortæller: "De jamaicanske marooner har en stolt og fascinerende arv. De er efterkommere af slaver fra Vestafrika, der undslap fra plantagerne og skabte samfund kendt som Maroon Towns. Disse samfund bevarede deres afrikanske rødder – maroon-kulturen er kendt for sin sprudlende musik, dans, historiefortælling, urtemedicin og mad."Vores første stop er Sun Valley Plantation, en sød lille gård, hvor du kan slentre gennem haver og se tropiske blomster og smage nogle af de frugter og grøntsager, der dyrkes her. Du vil også opleve, hvordan de lokale har dyrket jorden i generationer. Derefter går turen til Charles Town Basic School, en lille skole i hjertet af Charles Town Maroon-samfundet. Herefter besøger vi Charles Town Maroon Museum, der rummer en rigdom af artefakter, herunder traditionelt tøj, våben og musikinstrumenter. Du lærer om maroonernes lange kamp for frihed og deres vigtige rolle i Jamaicas historie. Herefter er det tid til at sætte sig til bords og spise frokost, hvor du spiser som en lokal takket være alle de traditionelle jamaicanske retter på menuen på et afslappet sted med udsigt over kysten.

Coffee farm hike through Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with brunch

Coffee farm hike through Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with brunch

As you hike through the misty Blue Mountains of Jamaica, take a moment to breathe in the scent of jasmine from the white-flowered coffee trees that mingle with palms, ferns and orchids in this part of the rainforest. Following the trails, you'll hear all about the traditions and techniques of coffee growing in this region – and why its beans are some of the most sought-after – and expensive – in the world. Marcus, a local guide, explains “the Blue Mountains are special, not just for their beauty, but for what they give the farming community. The high altitude, the cool climate and the rich soil are a dream for coffee growers.” The trail will take you on a leisurely trek up the mountain, past small family-owned coffee farms. Here, you'll learn more about how farmers have been harvesting ripe coffee cherries by hand, to create the mild, fruity and sweet flavour of Blue Mountain coffee, since the 18th-century. And the scenery here is pretty historic, too, like something out of Jurassic Park – think thick green rainforest dotted with waterfalls, valleys and misty mountain peaks. You'll want to keep your phone handy for pics.After a little over two miles of walking, you'll be rewarded with a cooling dip in the Blue Mountains Whirlpool. Marcus adds “don't worry – it's a deep rocky pool with a waterfall flowing into it – not a swirling vortex! It's locally known as the Fountain of Youth, so come swim off a few years.” Round off the tour by making a lasting impact on the local greenery. You'll plant a tree as part of a programme to support reforestation and sustainable farming in this part of Jamaica.
