The experience
You start at your Falmouth hotel or cruise port and travel to Rose Hall Great House, the 18th-century plantation mansion at the center of Jamaica's most famous ghost story. Annie Palmer, who once owned the property, is said to have murdered her husbands and enslaved people through voodoo and still haunts the grounds today. You'll see her original furnishings and hear the full account of her legend before moving on.
After Rose Hall, you walk the Hip Strip in Montego Bay: the main shopping district where craft markets, duty-free shops and general retailers line the street. There's time to stop for a drink or ice cream along the way. Then comes lunch at Scotchies, the well-known jerk restaurant where you order and eat on your own (food and drinks are not included in the tour price, so you pay separately). Jerk chicken and pork are the draw here, and it's a stop every jerk lover in Jamaica makes.
The tour ends with free time at Doctor's Cave Beach, where the water is clear and the sand is soft. You can swim, relax at the bar, or simply take in the sea breeze before heading back to Falmouth. All fees and taxes are covered in the price.
