Highlights
  • Runaway Bay - This tour takes you through one of the most popular towns on the Island. Runaway Bay is naturally beautiful and is certainly one of the most scenic areas in Jamaica. It sits between the beautiful, crisp coastline to one side and the lush green mountains to the other. There is much debate as to how the town of Runaway Bay got its name. some people believe it got the name because that is where the last batch of Spanish soldiers ran away from when they were retreating from the attacking British Troops lead by Governor Ysassi right after the 1655 British invasion of Jamaica, while other argue that it was the point from which the Slaves from inland plantations used as an escape route to runaway to Cuba. Get your cameras ready to go as you make your way through this area.

Must do! - The experience was awesome, and I feel like everyone should do this if you are in Montego Bay or Ocho Rios. The only issue I had was our pickup time was 8:55am, and the driver didn't pick us up until 10:05am. Other than that, the driver was amazing and he navigated the roads like a pro. The trip is about an hour up the mountains, which can be quite scary when cars are coming in the other direction.

Not that exciting, a bit disorganised. - It wasn’t so much a tour as being driven to Nine Mile and dumped there. We then sort of twiddled our thumbs as we waited for one of the tour guides at Nine Mile to take pity and lump us into one of a massive crew (just like everyone else there). Bob Marley tour is something that needed to be done while in Jamaica though. The tour of the house etc itself is even more disorganised and scratched only the very surface of his life & achievements. Shame. Was it worth £110 per head? Absolutely not. But I don’t expect to get anything different from other tours of the same thing.
