Experience Jamaica

• Caribbean island of contrasts from the misty peaks of the Blue Mountains to the white-sand beaches of Negril and Montego Bay
• Enticing mix of reggae culture, colonial heritage and world class beaches

The laidback atmosphere continues in the country's pristine white sand beaches and a warm climate that beckons rest and relaxation. To get the blood pumping, a hike through the misty, world-famous Blue Mountains awaits. Or explore incredible terrain via ATV, Jeep Safari or a thrilling zipline ride through a tropical canopy. Incredible, exotic flavours keep you well-fed along the way, from mangos and bananas to Jamaica's national fruit — the delicious ackee. Just a taste of Jamaica's iconic street food — jerk chicken — will have you craving another bite of the tender, spicy meat. Throughout your stay, you'll not only be delighted by Jamaica's temperate climate but the equally warm and friendly disposition of its people.
