For walk up the
waterfall stairway of Dunn’s River, go to
the ‘garden of Jamaica’, Ocho Rios,
and cool off in the most memorable way.
For gregarious adventure,
try rafting on the Rio Grande and Martha Brae.
For spectacular sunsets, take your place at Rick’s
Cafe on Jamaica’s aptly named West Point.
For an al fresco lunch with side order of scenery,
pack a picnic for Somerset Falls. For an amazingly
atmospheric evening, take a torchlit canoe ride
on the White River, accompanied by rhythmic drums. |

Jamaica takes its name from an Arawak Indian word
meaning “land of wood and water ”...and
lives up to its title in generous measure.
So the stunning seven-mile sands of Negril, the
breathtaking beauty of the Blue Lagoon, the long
sweeping bays and languorous beaches, and the
coral gardens in the Caribbean seem almost unfair
advantages for an island with so much appeal.
