About My Jamaica Travels

My Jamaica Travels uncovers the secrets of another side of Jamaica for those who like to take the road less travelled; those who want to know more, do more, see more of a unique nation, its people and practices.

 

My Jamaica Travels by-passes the ordinary, to take you on tours of the old and the new, nature's perfect hideaways, places of worship, cultural centres and events.  Take a peep into the past as you stand in silent forts still looking out to sea for marauding buccaneers or at numerous historic sites and stately ruins haunted by the ghosts of bygone days.

 

My Jamaica Travels embraces sustainable and responsible tourism, keeping our guests close to the bounty and blessings of nature.  There are many discoveries to be made of hidden waterfalls, natural spas and misty mountain trails, gardens and caves, wetlands teeming with endemic species.  Rest, rejuvenation and renewal come naturally in small welcoming communities and at intimate health and wellness facilities.

 

My Jamaica Travels tailors your programme to personal needs.  New vistas are opened for the independent traveler, intimate groups, the young and the young-at-heart with a yen for adventure.  My Jamaica Travels understands those who long to look beyond the mostly modern into the heart of a people, delighting in differences as well as shared interests.

 

My Jamaica Travels links new friends and extended families waiting to welcome the faith-based traveler, the sports enthusiast, the volunteer traveler on a mission to share expertise and experience, or third generation Jamaicans yearning to reconnect with their roots.

 

My Jamaica Travels is a collective of diverse micro, small and medium size Jamaican businesses including tour operators, bed and breakfast operators, small hotels, attractions, villas, support services and others dedicated to promoting the best of Jamaica’s non-traditional tourism product.

 

My Jamaica Travels caters to the independent traveler by providing highly personalized, service- oriented access to authentic Jamaican travel experiences.

 

Beyond the island's famous sunshine and incomparable beaches, My Jamaica Travel opens to visitors the lifestyle, energy and rich culture that make Jamaica a premier choice for those seeking a memorable vacation close to the heart of the Jamaican people.   My Jamaica Travels supports preservation of Jamaica's natural and cultural resources while providing an exceptional range of nature, cultural, sports and adventure experiences.

 

JAMAICA, island of contrasts, colour and passion; unpredictable in its diversity, sublime in its beauty, rich in the multi-culture of a strong and resilient people.  Jamaica, the largest of the English-speaking Caribbean islands, with a land space of 10,991 sq. km, is viewed variously as a hideaway for the famous, the absolute romantic retreat, the perfect place for a packaged all-in-one holiday.

 

Jamaica is all this and so much more.

 

The approach by land or sea is sensational, giving a glimpse of the complex mix that makes for the real Jamaican experience.  The dazzling jewel hues of the Caribbean Sea shade from azure to pure transparency, softly lapping against white beaches of the North coast; nudging and nestling on the sultry sands and wetlands of the South, or reaching up toward green promontories along the gentle curves of the coastline.

 

In the cities and towns, ginger-bread houses with airy verandahs hold their ground alongside skyscrapers and ultra-modern structures.  The handcart man selling jelly coconuts or the pan-man with sizzling jerked chicken vending outside a night club hold as much sway as up-scale shops and restaurants.

 

Jamaica's plains push inland just a bit before giving rise to majestic forest-clad, and misty mountains running west to east to form a backbone for this land of people who are proud and strong.

 

Creativity finds its home in Jamaica, in the pulsating rhythms of a music that has become internationalized, artwork hung in delightful galleries or spread out on the sidewalk.  Patrons move with suggestive abandon in the dancehalls. Others politely view more formal translations of these movements in the theatres of the capital city.

 

My Jamaica Travels presents the totality of an island where visitors may elect to feast in a beach hut on fish caught moments earlier, or dine in elegance under the stars.  Every dish, accompanied by the island's famous coffee, rum or fresh picked fruit, every stop on imaginative tours tell the story of a people who can fashion something sensational from very little and who engage the visitor to create life-time memories of an unparalleled Jamaican experience.
