Outdoor adventures in Jamaica

Jamaica's varied terrain is ideal for outdoor activities ranging from the staid to the adventurous. There is more to the island than its beaches—from mountains, rainforests to parks, plantations, golf courses, museums and more. It is because of this, Jamaica is considered to be the playground of the Caribbean attracting more than a million visitors annually who come here for a memorable wedding, honeymoon or a family holiday.

 To make the trip to the island all the more special, you can consider staying in Jamaica accommodation rentals comprising quaint cottages and villas, facing the sea and offering more facilities and amenities as also privacy and freedom than either hotels or all-inclusive resorts.

 Here are some activities that are worth checking out.

 Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park (Near Kingston and Port Antonio):  The largest conservation area in Jamaica is home to unspoiled forests and the 7,402 feet Blue Mountain peak. You can also visit the Hollywell Recreational Park, from where you can get a bird's eye view of Kingston and surrounds.

 Blue Mountain Tours (Ocho Rios): The tour takes you to a panoramic downhill ride on mountain bicycles through the Blue Mountains. En route, you can meet coffee farmers. There is a waterfall swim as also brunch included in the tour.

 Boston Beach (East of Port Antonio): The beautiful beach is famous for jerk pork. It is dotted with vendor smoking jerk-seasoned food the old-fashioned way and selling it at outside stalls.

 Braco stables (Braco, Trelawny): Enjoy a two-hour ride through the magnificent country side. The tour takes you to a private beach where you can ride bareback into the sea.

 Calico Sailing and Undersea tours (Montego Bay): The Caribbean Sea is a treasure trove of marine life and there is no better place to explore it than at Montego Bay on a semi-submarine or a private Calico private ship.

 Columbus Park (Discovery Bay): This is Jamaica's only open-air museum with a crafts park. It was recently acquired by Dolphin Cove at Treasure Reef. You can see historic artefacts such as railroad paraphernalia, farming equipment and water wheels.

 Cockpit country (South of Falmouth): This tour takes you to the area where Maroons (runaway slaves) hid, fought defeated and gained independence from the British. Adventures include birding, caving, underground rivers, waterfalls, cliffs, hiking trails, exotic plants, birds and reptiles.

 If you are on a family holiday and travelling with kids, you could do well by staying in Silver Sands villas, a secure community of villas and cottages on the island's north coast. The rentals specifically cater to families and offer among other services, childcare facilities and play area to keep them busy. So if you want some private moments to yourself, you can leave your children in safe hands and enjoy your moments of bliss.
