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.

Best Jamaica Vacation Planning

Making proper travel arrangements before arriving in Jamaica is essential for ensuring a smooth and enjoyable vacation. Many first-time visitors are surprised by the size of the island and the distances between major attractions and resort towns. Contrary to the assumption that everything is close together, Jamaica’s diverse landscapes stretch far and wide, making careful planning crucial to getting the most out of your trip.

At Best Jamaica Airport Transfers and Excursions, we specialize in helping travelers plan the perfect Jamaican vacation. As experienced Jamaica vacation planners, we offer our services for free, ensuring that your time on the island is both memorable and efficient. Jamaica is a country rich in culture and history, and the motto "Out of Many, One People" reflects the island’s diversity. Every aspect of Jamaican life embodies this unity, making the island a vibrant and welcoming destination for all.

Choosing the right resort town based on your interests and planned excursions is key to making the most of your stay. Jamaica’s geography means that not all attractions are easily accessible from every town. For example, traveling from Negril on the western coast to Port Antonio on the eastern side takes about four and a half hours. Similarly, driving from Ocho Rios to Negril takes roughly three hours, making it impractical for day trips during a short vacation.

Negril, famous for its laid-back atmosphere, boasts the stunning 7-mile white sand beach and cliff diving at Rick’s Café. It is conveniently located just an hour from Montego Bay Airport, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a relaxing yet accessible getaway. Additionally, Negril is a great base for exploring the attractions of Jamaica’s South Coast, including the Black River Safari Tour, Appleton Estate Rum Tour, YS Falls, and Floyd’s Pelican Bar, all just over an hour away.

Port Antonio, located in the lush, scenic east, is the birthplace of Jamaican tourism and is now positioning itself as a premier eco-tourism destination. With its pristine waters and natural beauty, Port Antonio has been featured in Hollywood films like Club Paradise and Cocktail, embodying the ideal tropical escape.

Ocho Rios, renowned for its waterfalls and beaches, is only 90 minutes from Montego Bay Airport. It’s home to the famous Dunn’s River Falls and the Blue Hole Secret Falls, making it a top choice for those seeking adventure. Ocho Rios is also close to other eastern gems like Reach Falls and Somerset Falls in nearby Port Antonio.

Montego Bay, however, is the ideal central hub for exploring all that Jamaica has to offer. Located 90 minutes from both Ocho Rios and Negril, and just 90 minutes from the South Coast, it provides easy access to some of the island’s best excursions. Whether you’re visiting waterfalls, beaches, or rum distilleries, Montego Bay puts you within reach of Jamaica’s most stunning attractions. Let Best Jamaica Tours help you explore this beautiful island with ease!

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.
