The experience

A private car picks you up from your hotel or villa and drives through the hills of Negril and Westmoreland, where you meet Rastafari brethren and learn about the herbs they grow and their uses in daily life. You'll see samples of products made from these plants and get a sense of the humble lifestyle of the Jamaican people. The guide walks you through the landscape at a pace that lets you ask questions and linger where something interests you.

The second stop is Blue Hole Mineral Spring, a natural pool enclosed by limestone and sitting 24 feet below ground level. The water itself reaches 35 feet deep, but the edges are shallow enough to stand or sit in. The naturally occurring minerals are recognized for their therapeutic value. Some guests jump in from the rocks. Others use the safe iron ladder to climb down. Staff and thrill seekers perform dives for entertainment, and you can opt for a Blue Hole Mineral massage where staff will purify, exfoliate and soften your skin.

The tour runs between one and five hours depending on how long you spend at each stop and whether you add the massage. You'll have time to visit the gift shop if you want to take home souvenirs. Bottled water and a complimentary Red Stripe beer are included to start, and your driver handles all fees and taxes.
