Jamaica for Nature Lovers
There’s no doubt that Jamaica in the Caribbean Islands is one of the most interesting and culturally diverse places to spend your holidays. Whether its swimming and sunbathing in its blue waters and pristine beaches; enjoying the amazing scenery and scrumptious food (and drinks!) in local restaurants or in the privacy of your Jamaica villa; or just relaxing or dancing to Caribbean music – its many natural and cultural attractions make this island a favourite of travellers from all over the world. Nature lovers are in for a special treat as the island is blessed by abundant natural beauty and once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to get in touch with nature.
Get Back to Basics
For a weekend away from your luxurious Jamaica villa, an oceanfront ecotourism resort is the perfect opportunity to experience authentic Jamaican life. African-styled bamboo huts with locally handcrafted furniture and tribal decorations create a beach-jungle-cliff habitat—an adventure in itself—that allow visitors to get closer to nature.
Swim with Dolphins
Swimming with dolphins is the dream of many animal lovers, and Dolphin Cove (either in Ocho Rios or in Negril) can make this dream come true. The encounter is videotaped, so you can enjoy this life-changing experience again and again once you get back to your Jamaica villa, or back home. If you want more time with sea creatures, you can also swim with stingrays at Stingray City on James Bond Beach.
Surround yourself prehistoric plants
The fern gully of Ochos Rios has been described as being an enchanted forest. It features a three-mile stretch of road enclosed by trees. These trees block out most of the sunlight, allowing nearly 160 types of ferns to flourish – many of which can only be found in the island. Feel free to explore—there are no dangerous animals here, and you are as safe as you would be back in your Jamaica villa.
Go on a river safari
The Black River guided boat ride takes you up Black River, the island’s longest river, where you can study the flora and fauna of the area, including more than 100 species of birds and curious crocodiles.
Explore the mysteries of Luminous Lagoon
Luminous Lagoon, just outside of Montego Bay, is one of the island’s greatest natural wonders. During the day, this serene lagoon is perfect for swimming and kayaking, among other things. However, the best part is when the sun goes down and millions of minute natural light-generating creatures light up the water—a truly incredible and unforgettable sight. Don’t forget to bring a camera so you can share this experience with your loved ones back home–they’ll never believe it unless you show them proof!
