Jamaican Activities

Jamaica and the Green Castle area offer a wide range of activities to meet every interest. We have local guides who can take you on a serious coastal hike to the Kwaamen Waterfall, a 5 hour return trek that is well worth the adventure. About an hour away is bamboo rafting on the Rio Grande, which could be combined with a stopover at the market in Port Antonio. Ms. Juliet offers guided tours of historic churches and buildings in St. Mary.
