The experience
Nine Mile is a small village in the hills where Bob Marley spent his earliest years, and this tour takes you there by private air-conditioned vehicle with a guide who knows the place and its spiritual roots. The guide is Rastafarian, so you get the story from someone who shares the faith and culture that shaped Marley's music and message. You'll walk through the village itself, then enter his childhood home to see where he lived before he became the King of Reggae.
At the mausoleum, you pay your respects at the place where Marley is buried. The guide will play a faithful rendition of one of his songs, and you'll hear about the rock pillow, a natural stone formation, that Marley credited with giving him inspiration. The full-day excursion runs four to six hours, and your hotel or port pickup is included, so you don't arrange the transport yourself.
What’s included
