Itinerary
Go by: Rose Hall Great House is closeThis magnificent Rose Hall Great House is a plantation house dating back to the early 18th century. It is situated high up on thousands of acres of land in Rose Hall, Montego Bay. Annie Palmer, one of Jamaica’s most infamous and certainly cruel plantation owners ever, once owned the Great House of Rose Hall. She owned hundreds of enslaved people. Annie Palmer managed to kill three of her four husbands; the fourth strangled her. This house became haunted after her gruesome death in 1831. The view of the house is scary, even during the day. There will be no stop at Rose Hall Great House en route to the Green Grotto and Dunn’s River Falls, but your guide will explain the history and slow down to allow for photos.
Pass by: Greenwood Great House is nearbyThe Greenwood Great House was constructed in the early 18th century. Like most, if not all, of the other great houses in Jamaica, the Great Greenwood House was constructed at a high elevation as a strategy to overlook the plantation. Unlike the Great Rose Hall House, this house is not haunted but has a calmer and more relaxed atmosphere. The history and architecture of the house are what will capture your attention. Feel free to take pictures when your guide slows down as you drive past.
Pass by: Columbus ParkThe town of Discovery Bay is where you’ll find Columbus Park, where the Spanish, led by Christopher Columbus, landed when they arrived on the island on May 4, 1494. The bay was initially named Puerto Seco (Dry Harbour) by Christopher Columbus because there was no fresh water to drink. However, fresh water was found 5 miles east of the city. The water was so good there that the Spanish named the place Rio Bueno meaning “Good River.” The town of Puerto Seco was later renamed Discovery Bay in 1947 as a tribute to where Columbus landed. There is a park has an open-air museum with several artifacts. Unfortunately, the park is temporarily closed due to reconstruction.
Stop by: Runaway BayRunaway Bay is one of Jamaica’s stunning natural beauties and undoubtedly, one of its most picturesque. It lies nestled between a magnificent, lush coast on one hand and lush mountains on the other. There has been much discussion as to the origin of how the town got its name-. Some say it got its name because it was where the last Spanish soldiers fled as they retreated after the British invasion of Jamaica in 1655. Others say it was simply the point from which enslaved people from inland plantations fled to Cuba.
Stop at: Green Grotto CavesThe Green Grotto is 1,525 meters long and 12 meters deep and features numerous chambers and an underground lake called Grotto Lake. Green Grotto Caves are located on 25.9 hectares of Jamaica’s beautiful north coast. This natural attraction consists of a great, labyrinthine limestone cave and features unique rock formations, stalactites, stalagmites, bats, and a wishing well whose depth no one knows. The cave is surrounded by dense vegetation and fed by pristine waters flowing from its secret depths. Once you are at the site, prepare for an hour-long journey into this underworld magic with your local guide, which is sure to captivate you! All elements of the cave remain in their original state. This Green Grotto Caves and River Falls Package has provided scenes for movies like “Live and Let Die” and many more. It is a unique tour that will make your vacation unforgettable. Duration: 1 hour, including ticket.
Stop at: Dunn’s River Falls and ParkA rare experience awaits you at the world-famous Dunn’s River Falls, where you climb the falls in a human chain under the guidance of experienced Falls Guides. Dunn’s River Falls Park is the perfect environment for fun and relaxation for the whole family. There is a different discovery around each corner. Your friendly guide will escort you to the beach where the tour begins. The total climb from the beach to the summit is about 600 feet, or 183 meters. Along the way, there are pools where you can stop to take photos and frolic. Allow the cascades to embrace you as you make your way up. Stop by the “massage salon” and feel the cool water flow over you. There are exit points along the way if you want to stop. If so, meet the rest of your group later. For the less daring, live vicariously through others. View the more adventurous activities from the “safe” spot of the patio or deck.
