Top Things to do in Jamaica

It was a little bit of a roundabout way to get here, but crazy enough I found a bargain flight from Cairo - Frankfurt - Toronto, then a flight on Swoop Airlines to Kingston. This was my last stop on my two-month trip, so it was a nice change before heading back to the states. I’m not a huge fan of touristy places, and since Jamaica is rather known as a cruise ship destination, it was easy to spend a few days checking everything out before flying home. Here are my top things to see in Jamaica!

Getting Around

From Kingston, you can easily take a bus to anywhere around the island using Knutsford Express. Most leave by the early afternoon so if you’re looking to take the bus right away from the airport I’d recommend arriving earlier in the day.

Martha Brae River

I always love finding unique things to do in every country, and the Martha Brae River is definitely one of those attractions! If you have a taxi take you to this area, you can pay to take a bamboo raft down the iridescent emerald river waters and forest. Probably my favorite thing to do!

Pelican Bar

If you have time to check it out, the Pelican Bar is a bar in the middle of the ocean! You can take a boat out to it and hang out all afternoon having drinks or swimming in the water. It’s a bit out of the way but something else unique to Jamaica!
