What to do and see in Montego Bay, Saint James Parish: The Best Historical & Heritage Tours

July 18, 2021 Kelli Reichel

While this Jamaican spring break favorite is great for party animals, it can also be surprisingly low key – if you want. Montego Bay has excellent duty-free shopping, vibrant nightlife, and calm waters. Browse the local handicrafts at the open-air Harbour Street market, or the "hip strip" shops of Gloucester Avenue. The underwater crevices of Widowmaker’s Cave offer an intricate diving experience. Float serenely down the Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft and let your troubles melt away under the sun.

What ever you do, DO NOT BOOK with this company. It’s fraud! The “owner” is doing business under “Martha Brae’s name. Basically you will be paying for the car ride alone there then u will have to pay an additional $77 for the actual rafting. The guy is super rude and disrespectful. He ruined our entire trip to Jamaica! He charges us $160 just for a ride less than 30 mins away. Not to mention we took a different ride which was 1.5 hours long for less than that price. You have been warned! DO NOT BOOK this under any circumstances! We were scammed and I would hate for anyone else to go through that. False Advertisement!

Rastafari is rightly associated with Jamaica, for the religion was born here in the 1930s. Rastafari is an Abrahamic faith that adheres to much of The Bible, though Rastafaris worship Haile Selassie I, former emperor of Ethiopia. Arguably the best-known Rastafari is the late Bob Marley. The international star introduced much of the world to the tenets of Rastafari, including the smoking of ganja (marijuana), which the Rasta consider a spiritual act.

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????????????

We had such an amazing time. We didn’t even get to do all three things as we had to be back at a certain time but we throughly enjoyed ourselves regardless. We went to seven mile beach and went snorkeling as well as Ricks Cafe. Even if you got a resort on the beach seven mile beach is worth the look. Carlos was awesome the whole time and very knowledgeable about pretty much all things Jamaica lol. I’d definitely go again and would only ask for Carlos.
