Things to do in Jamaica range from climbing the 600-foot Dunn's River Falls to exploring the life of reggae legend at the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston. Relax on Seven Mile Beach’s pristine 7-mile stretch of white sand, or experience a thrilling sunset dive off Rick's Cafe in Negril, famous for its dramatic cliffs.

Sugar-white sand and warm turquoise water make Seven Mile Beach a seaside escape. Expect calm swimming, lively beach bars, and wide sunset views.

Raske fakta: Expect to climb roughly 180 meters of terraced limestone cascades, with warm seawater pooling at the base as waves lap the rocks. Local guides commonly form rope-supported human chains to help climbers, turning the ascent into a social, splash-filled experience.

Høydepunkter: A freshwater cascade tumbles right into the Caribbean, so you can feel cool river spray on your face while warm sea breeze and sand press against your toes. Guides often link groups of 6 to 8 people into a human chain, rope in hand, so climbers steady one another while sliding over slick, vine-framed limestone steps.

Cliffside reggae, sunset dives and ocean views make Rick's Cafe unforgettable. Watch expert cliff-jumpers, sip a rum punch and stay for live music.

Snorkling ved Negril-revet var helt rått, men regn med solbrent selv på overskyede dager. Ta med reef-vennlig solkrem.

Været var uforutsigbart, det regnet to dager på rad og ødela båtplanene. Likevel verdt det for lokal mat og stemning.

Ha med småsedler, mange taxier og matboder tar ikke kort. Minibanker tar gebyr, så ta ut penger én gang i byen.

Hopp over turistrestauranter ved stranden, gå to kvartaler innover, lokale steder serverer de samme rettene til halve prisen.

Elsket fjellene og de vennlige menneskene, men taxier kan være dyre og pruting er slitsomt. Dra når det er tørt, hvis mulig.
