7 Days Tropical East & Rainforest Explorer

Escape the typical tourist crowds with this 7-day journey to Jamaica’s lush East Coast. This itinerary is designed for nature lovers and those seeking serenity. While Montego Bay and Negril offer busy beaches, Port Antonio offers “The Garden Parish”, home to misty rainforests, hidden waterfalls, and secluded coves used as Hollywood movie sets. We travel comfortably along the North Coast, exploring the mysterious Green Grotto Caves and the exciting Mystic Mountain in Ocho Rios, before settling into the laid-back rhythm of Port Antonio. Highlights include rafting on the majestic Rio Grande (the birthplace of bamboo rafting), swimming in the world-famous Blue Lagoon, and relaxing at Frenchman’s Cove. Accommodation is provided in charming, budget-friendly eco-lodges or hotels that bring you closer to nature.
