The experience

The day starts at your hotel in Montego Bay with pickup and a drive inland to Nine Mile, the rural hillside village where Bob Marley was born and grew up before moving to Kingston. You'll see his childhood home, walk through the gallery and museum, and visit the mausoleum where he's buried: all set to his recorded music. This is where Marley came to meditate and find inspiration for some of his greatest recordings, and the guide will walk you through the story of the place and the man.

After Nine Mile, the tour heads to Dunn's River Falls near Ocho Rios. The falls drop more than 600 feet in a series of natural terraces that flow directly into the Caribbean Sea, one of the few rivers in the world that does this. The main draw is climbing the cascades themselves. You move from one tier to the next, swimming in the pools and lagoons along the way. The water is cool and the climb is steady but manageable. Wear shoes with grip and bring a change of clothes.

Your guide handles the route and timing for both stops, and the tour includes bottled water throughout the day. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included for guests at selected properties. If you're arriving by cruise ship, you'll provide your ship name, docking time and re-boarding deadline at booking so the guide can time your return.

The guide plays his music throughout, and the site is where Marley returned to meditate and find creative inspiration.

Can I actually climb Dunn's River Falls, or is it just viewing?

Do I need to be in good physical shape for this tour?

The operator recommends at least a moderate level of physical fitness. You'll be climbing the tiered cascades at Dunn's River, which involves moving up wet rock faces and swimming between pools, so some fitness and comfort in water help.

What if I'm arriving on a cruise ship instead of staying at a hotel?

Cruise passengers can book this tour. At checkout, you'll provide your ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time so the guide can plan the route and timing to get you back to the port on schedule.
