Tours

From a Crocodile Safari to a 3 day trip to Cuba, there is a large choice of tours.

If you rent a car you'll naturally use that for land trips, but it is expensive to keep a car in the car park while you spend most of your time on the beach. Established tour companies, for example Tropical Tours Limited, run one, two or three times a week to eight or nine places. For a couple or a single person, this is probably the most economical and friendliest way to go. You may prefer to hire your own little bus and driver (we recommend Mr. Paul Jerry whom we have known for 10 years or more and works independently. I have such faith in him that I have actually allowed him to drive my car). Then you have more control and can stay as long as you wish or have side trips to other places of interest. If there are four to six persons you will probably also save money.

The following are examples of tours available; the prices quoted are per person, are quoted by Tropical Tours and are subject to change.

Mayfield Falls | Crocodile Safari | River Rafting | Grand Ocho Rios | 3 days/nights in Cuba | Belvedere Plantation | Port Antonio by air | Ocho Rios by air | Kingston by road | Island Picnic | Black River Safari | Bamboo Avenue

Mayfield Falls.

One of my favourites. Travel past sugar plantations, through villages and down to the River Mayfield, where you walk up the whirling river, enjoy the falls, have lunch and relax as long as you wish afterwards in the remote wooded valley. US$50.

Black River Crocodile Safari and Y.S. Falls.

Lunch is included. US$65.

Mountain Valley River Rafting and Plantation Tour.

Liqueur tasting and lunch included. US$70.

Grand Ocho Rios Tour, including Dunn's River Falls.

US$55. Lunch optional extra. All day tour. Nice, but a lot of riding.

Three Day Trip to Cuba.

Fly from Montego Bay to Havana on Air Jamaica, 3 nights hotel, with breakfast. While there you can visit the famous Tropicana Cabaret, the old Spanish city with its decaying architecture. Cost about $700 (in 2008).

Belvedere Plantation.

Port Antonio by air.

Ocho Rios by air.

Kingston by road.

One day tour. I wouldn't do it. No thanks! (Not recommended as it is too far for a one day trip, with the possibility of spending hours stuck in traffic).

Black River Safari, Y.S. Falls, Bamboo Avenue, Lovers' Leap and Treasure Beach.

This is an all day tour by Mr. Jerry which will cost a group of 4 about $63 each, including entrance fees and lunch. Start at 8 a.m. and return when you are ready, for sunset on the beach. Change the itinerary to suit yourselves.

Bamboo Avenue, Appleton Estate (Sugar and Rum), Seaford Town (German settlement in the 1800's) and Rocklands Bird Sanctuary).

A very interesting day out. Discuss this tour with Mr. Jerry or use your rented car.

You don't have to book any of these tours much in advance, which is good because once you are at Carib you may decide to put off the tours until your next visit (or the one after).
