Must-Try Jamaican Excursions



I recently booked a couple heading to Jamaica for their Honeymoon. They were booked at an All Inclusive resort but wanted to make the trip special by adding in some off property excursions. In our last consultation before their trip we decided that they would take a Sunset Catamaran Cruise. When they returned, and we had our post-trip follow up, I was delighted to hear that the catamaran cruise was one of the highlights of the trip. They were able to have fun with some other couples and enjoy some romantic time together sailing as the sun went down. They felt it was a must-try Jamaican excursion.

One of the big draws of All Inclusive Resorts in Jamaica is that there are so many activities on-property that you really don’t ever have to leave. It’s a great program, but if you like a little adventure there are definitely some Jamaican excursions that I would recommend. A catamaran cruise is a great excursion for anyone. For couples you can opt for a sunset cruise along the island for some extra romance on your trip. But, there are also plenty of companies that go the more booze-cruise route for those of you that like more of a party.

2 other excursions that I personally like to participate in are climbing Dunn’s River Falls and going on the Zip Line Canopy Tour. Dunn’s River Falls is the first Jamaican excursion that I ever got to experience. You spend an hour or 2 climbing the waterfalls, taking funny pictures, and acting like a kid again. I recommend it to my clients and if I have the time and I’m in the Ocho Rios area I try to make it a habit to visit. The Zip Line Canopy Tour is also a great Jamaican excursion. Experience the rainforest by traversing down lines by a series of decks and platforms. If you are a nature lover or adventure traveler it’s a great way to spend a few hours. Plus, they offer different courses for varying levels of experience and comfortability.



A great option that not a lot of people know, is that by using a travel professional to book your trip, you can also pre-book your excursions to secure space for the days and times you would like. It’s one of the many benefits of using a travel professional but we’ll get to that in another post.
