The Experience

The drive from Montego Bay to Kingston runs 3 hours up Jamaica's North Coast Highway, passing through rural landscape and the fern-lined hillside of Fern Gully before you reach the capital. You'll stop at Devon House, one of Jamaica's oldest buildings from the nineteenth century, where you can walk the grounds, browse craft shops or grab ice cream at your own pace and expense. The route itself is part of the day—it shows you how the terrain changes as you move inland from the coast.

The Bob Marley Museum occupies the house where Marley lived, and the tour gives you access to the rooms and artifacts without having to find the place or navigate Kingston on your own. A guide in English walks you through the space and explains what you're standing in front of. Entrance to the museum is not included in the tour price, so you pay the fee when you arrive.

The full day runs 10 to 12 hours from pickup at your hotel in Montego Bay to drop-off afterward. A minimum of 3 adults per booking is required. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children.
