Three Quick Tips

	Explore Jamaica. Making a day trip outside the gates of your resort will be an enriching experience for the whole family. Whether you take the gang on a canopy tour through the jungle or on a historic plantation tour, there are many tourist board-approved local organisations with expert guides to ensure you’ll have the time of your life.
	Get some A-D-U-L-T time with the help of a certified nanny. Many of Jamaica's villas and resorts offer highly trained, certified nannies to watch your children. Check ahead of time to see whether your hotel or villa provides these helpful services.
	Join our Meet-the-People program. If your family is looking to experience Jamaica the islander way and interested in making some new friends, our Meet-the-People program will team you up with a Jamaican host family that will welcome you into their home and town, guide you to local gems unknown to many tourists, and give you a unique window into Jamaican culture.

Spotlight On

Explore Dunn's River Falls

The point at which Dunn's River enters the Caribbean Sea is marked by 600 feet of mountain spring water cascading down the rocks towards the ocean. This scenic spot was once the site of one of the bloodiest wars between the English and the Spanish in 1657, as the Spanish, led by the famous General Ysassi, fought desperately and in vain to maintain control of the island. Today, even after all the falls have witnessed (battles, hurricanes and visitors), nothing can diminish their majestic grandeur and few can deny the awe and wonder they inspire. > Learn More
