Greenwood Great House - The Greenwood Great House (Plantation home) was built in the early 18th century. Like most other Great Houses in Jamaica, it was constructed at a high elevation, likely as a strategy during the plantation era for overseeing the plantation and for security purposes. Unlike the Rose Hall Great House, Greenwood is not haunted and offers a more peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The history and architecture of the house are truly captivating. As you pass by, feel free to take photos when your tour guide slows down.

Discovery Bay - Discovery Bay is home to Columbus Park. Originally named Puerto Seco (“Dry Harbour”) by Christopher Columbus in 1494 when he and his men landed on the island, it was said they couldn’t find fresh water to drink. They later discovered fresh water about 5 miles west of the town, in a place they named Rio Bueno (“Good River”). The town of Puerto Seco was renamed Discovery Bay in 1947 because it was where Columbus and his men first landed on May 4, 1494. The park, which is temporarily closed for renovations, features several old relics and artifacts. There will be a brief stop to take photos and capture the rich history of this historic town.
-
Runaway Bay - This tour takes you through one of the most popular towns on the island. Runaway Bay is naturally beautiful and is certainly one of the most scenic areas in Jamaica. It sits between the stunning coastline on one side and lush green mountains on the other. There is much debate about how Runaway Bay got its name. Some believe it was named because it was where the last batch of Spanish soldiers fled from the attacking British troops led by Governor Ysassi after the 1655 British invasion of Jamaica. Others argue that it was the escape route for slaves from inland plantations to Cuba. Get your cameras ready as you explore this area.
-
Rose Hall Great House - The Rose Hall Great House is an early 18th-century plantation home situated on a high elevation in Rose Hall, Montego Bay. Once owned by the infamous and notoriously cruel plantation owner Annie Palmer, who had hundreds of slaves, the house became haunted after her gruesome death in 1831. The house is eerie even in daylight. Although there is no stop at the Rose Hall Great House on your way to Negril, your tour guide will share its history and slow down for photo opportunities.

Ocho Rios - The heart of the garden parish of St. Ann, the resort area of Ocho Rios is a nature lover’s paradise. Once thought to be watered by eight rivers (as its name suggests), Ocho Rios offers a lush landscape of caves, gardens, rivers, and white sand beaches. The name Ocho Rios actually comes from “Las Choreras,” meaning “waterfalls,” reflecting the many waterfalls in the area. From the Fern Gully, located in the remains of an old riverbed, to the tiered waterfalls of Dunn’s River, Blue Hole, and Secret Falls, Ocho Rios is home to some of Jamaica’s most popular attractions. This picturesque resort area draws thousands of visitors back each year.
Ocho Rios is a small colonial-style town with a population of approximately 25,000. Known as “The Centerpiece of Jamaica,” it offers a range of activities from golf to watersports, equestrian, and soft adventure activities. The area is roughly equidistant between the island’s two cities, Kingston and Montego Bay, providing excellent access from both international airports. The birthplace of Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey, Ocho Rios offers a variety of cultural experiences, including Marley’s mausoleum at Nine Miles, Reggae Xplosion, and Seville Heritage Park, all of which chronicle Jamaica’s history through story and song.
There will be a short stop in the town center (approximately 1 hour) for shopping.
-
Main Street - Shopping in Ocho Rios on this day trip will be at the Ocho Rios Craft Market or a similar location. A wide variety of items are available, including rums, coffee, T-shirts, hats, jewelry, wood carvings, and art. It’s advisable to carry small bills, as not all vendors accept credit cards and may not have change in USD, resulting in you receiving a lot of Jamaican dollars as change.
-
Scotchies Drax Hall - Scotchies Outdoor Garden Restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best spots for jerk chicken and pork. We recommend ending your day’s activities with a stop for the ultimate jerk experience at Scotchies. The food is prepared with the whole family in mind, so even children can enjoy the tender, juicy pork and succulent chicken with festival. Steamed vegetables are also available for non-meat eaters. Don’t forget to try the homemade Scotchies specialty hot sauce made from locally sun-ripened Scotch Bonnet peppers.
