The Best Falmouth Shore Excursions

The town Falmouth located in the parish of Trelawny Jamaica was established in 1769. It is one of the best preserved Georgian towns in the Caribbean; it was meticulously laid out with wide streets in a regular grid and was the envy of day. In the 1800s Falmouth had the busiest shipping port in Jamaica seeing a great many of ships plying the European route with sugar and rum.  Those were the heyday, a prosperous Trelawny having almost a hundred sugar-cane plantation actively producing rum and sugar for the European and by extension the world markets.

Falmouth Jamaica is rich with history, it was the first township in the western hemisphere which also includes New York City to have had piped running water in 1799. The Persian water wheel which was used for channeling the water to be gravity-fed into the town still stands still turns.  The St Peter's Anglican Church is one of the oldest in Jamaica. It is a master piece, built in 1795 its supporting columns are of solid mahogany and its floor is inlaid with crosses of mahoe and mahogany woods.

The town of Falmouth went through a period of dormancy during the last century. However, today Falmouth has the busiest cruise ship port on the island with Royal Caribbean Cruiseline, Carnival Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruise, MSC Cruise and Holland America Line are all making call to the busy Falmouth Port.

Falmouth is rather attractive because it is centrally located between two of Jamaica’s best known resort towns. Montego Bay is just to the west and Ocho Rios the home of Dunn’s River Falls and the Blue Hole is a mere 60 minutes east. If you will be cruising to the Caribbean and your ship will be stopping in Jamaica getting off the ship to enjoy Jamaica a bit would be the best thing to do. There are many activities in and around Falmouth that could spark your interest.

Waters-ports are in abundance not to mention the many white sand beaches. Horse-back ride and swim is another popular activity here on the island. Montego Bay has 5 championship golf courses which are suited for pro and for those who would just like to try a hand it. Shopping, Zipline, Dune Buggy, ATV Tours sampling the local cuisine are just some of the few things which are beckoning. Whatever your interests are there is something here for you.

Port Antonio, idyllic and scenic is richly blessed with beautiful waters and lush vegetation and is positioning itself to be the main area for eco-tourism. This much underrated resort town is the genesis of Jamaica’s tourism, credited as the first resort town of Jamaica. Port Antonio is featured in many famous Hollywood films such as Club Paradise and Cocktail, and is often pictured as the ‘ideal paradise escape.

Ocho Rios known for its waterfalls and beaches is a great option. It is only ninety minutes from the Montego Bay Airport and could worth your while.

Jamaica Cruise

Best Jamaica Travel

Cruising industry has a long history in Jamaica dating as way back as late 1800s. The advent of steam ship opened a new way of travel and steamed vessels were steaming across the open Caribbean waters destined for Jamaica. In fact the popular marketing slogan that they used then was “let’s go beyond the ocean”.

Importantly Jamaica was not marketed for the sun, sand and beaches but instead its therapeutic benefits. The clean and purported healing air of Jamaica was what attracted the visitors who brought their automobiles with them on the ship and explore the country at their own leisure.  Places like Milk River Bath, the many Jamaican majestic waterfalls, Botanical Gardens or anything places that were of naturally beauty was explored.

The big boom in passenger cruise came about from 1920 through 1040s when transatlantic travel was glamorized.  These cruise excursions were advertised as fashionable and luxurious featuring exquisite food and on-board activities.  These voyages were then extended to Jamaica and the Caribbean during the winter when Europe was cold. It was a lucrative business although the ships were not designed for the tropics as the on-board activities were below sea level with poor aeration.

The largest industry in the world today is tourism with cruising been the fastest growing sector. One in seven every Americans have been on a cruise at some point in their life, this goes to show how big the market is.  If you will be on a cruise that is schedule to call on a port in Jamaica let us help you enjoy your day in the sun.  Don’t leave such an important day up to chance, book with us and save.
