On an island as diverse as Jamaica, you would be doing yourself a serious disservice if you limited yourself to the reggae and rum formula (however attractive). Break free from the beaches and fruity beverages for mountain river rafting and kayaking, horseback riding in the surf, rainforest hikes, and … more tours of Jamaica’s historic towns and plantation great houses. Diving and snorkeling are rewarding, but not nearly as impressive as they are elsewhere in the Caribbean as over-fishing has depleted many stocks of marine life.
