Jamaica Adventure Secrets

Explore and experience a secret Jamaica—the real culture, the seldom seen attractions, and a way to make the most of it all by volunteering on your vacation

Jamaica Adventure Secrets offers travellers the opportunity to learn more about Jamaica in a week than most visitors know in a month.

This company was born out of the vision of Maureen Wright-Evans who shares her secret of how at the age of 12 years she received a life changing gift from a volunteer tourist and this charted the course of her life to become a volunteer adventurer. She says “Each day I feel that I am not just earning an income in my work, but helping many other little girls and boys find that special “Tourist” who may give him/her a life changing gift.”
