Chill on the beach to the sound of reggae music with a drink in your hand- yeah mon!
One of the largest islands in the Caribbean, Jamaica has something for everyone from full service beaches to exciting excursions. With an abundance of resorts stretching along the beautiful white sand beaches, luxury and pampering should be easy to find.
However, if you’re more of the independent type of traveler, you find plenty to explore. From historic plantation houses to mountain hikes, history and nature buffs will fall in love with Jamaica too.

The gorgeous scenery of this island nation has been used countless times in movies like the James Bond movies Dr. No and Live and Let Die, Knight and Day, and my personal favorite- Cocktail!
Jamaica is not only famous for its beautiful landscapes, but also its incredible food. When in Jamaica, make sure to try some of the spicy and delicious jerk and Jamaican patties.
BUCKETLIST JAMAICA ACTIVITIES
Snorkeling
Negril is known as the best snorkeling on the island, but there are several other great places to visit too. I was quite impressed with the shore snorkeling from Doctor’s Cave Beach in Montego Bay!
Waterfalls
Jamaica is full of beautiful waterfalls from the famous Dunns River Falls to the lesser known spots like Reggae Falls.
Resorts
Jamaica is known for its all inclusive resorts that cater to your every need. Sandals Resorts actually started in Jamaica and now offer several properties.
Pelican Bar
You’ll need a boat, but it’s worth it. This rustic cool little bar is located a mile off shore and is an experience all its own.
Cliff Jumping
Rick’s Cafe in Negril is the spot to watch some incredible cliff jumping- or jump yourself!
Martha Brae River Rafting
If you’ve seen any pictures of Jamaica, you’ve seen the bamboo rafts. Gorgeous- need I say more?
