Top 10 Day Trips from in Runaway Bay, Saint Ann Parish

January 4, 2022 Madelene Haan

Just ten miles west of Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay's stunning beaches see far fewer footprints than its neighbors. It's also removed from the cruise ship herds and pushy vendors. Perfect for those happy not to wander far from their resort, there are a few nearby attractions nonetheless. Bob Marley's childhood home and mausoleum is in nearby Nine Mile. Jamaican history is on view at Seville Great House and at Columbus Park Museum. To explore, rent a reliable vehicle and remember to drive on the left.

This was a fun outing! Did not love the pushy vendors at the end of the tour, but we were generous with our shopping understanding tourism has been hit hard since 2020. My daughter loved the zip lining and wanted a longer tour!

The central features of this natural attraction is the large labyrinthine limestone cave with its unique rock formation, its stalactites, stalagmites, and abundance of overhead ceiling pockets, and bats. Green Grotto is 1,525 meters long and 12 meters deep and is characterized by numerous chambers and light holes and a subterranean lake –the Grotto Lake-occupies its bowels, a must see while on the Island. .

We traveled to Jamaica back in November and one of our must do’s was going to the Blue Hole and river tubing. I was nervous at first booking with a private small business tour guide but in the end was so happy I did. First of all the price was a steal of a deal and secondly our tour was PRIVATELY guided with just the 4 people in our party in a nice comfortable spacious vehicle with an AWESOME tour guide named Trevor who went above and beyond to make our experience while on this tour amazing! My only regret was NOT booking all of our excursions with Trevor. We did several other excursions on our trip with a big name tour company and they consisted of being jammed packed into a bus with A LOT of people. At the end of our trip we asked Trevor if he could take us to one of his favorite places to eat and he took us to get some delicious Jerk Chicken. I definitely know to book everything we want to do on our next visit with him.

The tour was amazing and Andray was so patient, professional and pleasant. The knowledge he gave about the cities we passed through was fascinating. Especially about the witch. The Nine Mile Bob Marley Mausoleum in Jamaica is such a compelling place along with, learning more of the history and legacy of Bob Marley was profound. Pearl and Crazy Jack and his laugh, unforgettable. Our guide Andray was genuine, attentive and supplied cold drinks plus, his driving was astounding. The vehicle was clean, perfect temp and perfect music selection. Will definitely book with Road Travel Jamaica on next visit 10????????????

My favorite experience was the overall hospitality.. Caring. Compassion & Consideration of our driver Nigel My friends & I were confused on how & where to start our day. After expressing our concerns.Nigel set a plan that would allow us to enjoy 3 excursions & dinner before curfew.. The river rafting was peaceful & natural filled.. Thankx Nigel for such a welcoming atmosphere can’t wait until next time..
