Jamaica is known for interesting people, great resorts and beautiful lands, but it also is filled with many things to do for anyone on vacation there.
One of the most popular Jamaican attractions is the Bob Marley Museum, dedicated to the singer and songwriter who helped make reggae music world famous. The museum is located in the Jamaican capital of Kingston.
While in Kingston, visitors can tour the largest English-speaking city south of Florida to shop, dine and view architectural and historical sites. They include:
The National Gallery -- a collection of Jamaican art
Devon House -- built by one of the first black Caribbean millionaires in the 1800s
Hope Botanical Gardens -- located on 60 acres in New Kingston
Localed near the resort area of Ocho Rios is Dunn's River Falls, another premier attraction, especially for families. Visitors form a daisy chain and can climb more than 600 feet up the cascading platforms of water to the top of the falls.
Right by Dunn's River Falls is Dolphin Cove, where visitors can swim with Bottle Nose dolphins.
Excursions for cruise ship visitors stopping at Ocho Rios or Montego Bay -- and anyone staying at a hotel or resort -- almost always include Dunn's River Falls. Other popular excursions include zip lining, ATV rides, horseback riding on beaches, deep sea fishing and river tubing. More adventurous vacationers might consider a safari along the Black River, the longest river in Jamaica.
Anyone visiting Jamaica by cruise ship will be able to schedule a tour or excursion on board ship. Anyone staying at a hotel or resort will find numerous tour operators available through Internet search engines.
