Answer 1

Visit Dunn's River Falls



One of the most famous of all Jamaica tourist attractions, the Dunn's River Falls near Ocho Rios is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. Hike down the falls then relax on a beach where the freshwater meets the sea.



Swim with the dolphins



Dolphin Cove near Ocho Rios offers a once in a lifetime opportunity: the chance to get into the water and play with the ocean's most intelligent creatures, dolphins. It is no wonder Dolphin Cove has become one of the most popular Jamaica attractions; of all the things to do in Jamaica, this is one not to be missed. Combine it with a trip to Dunn's River Falls for the perfect day excursion.



Swim in the Blue Lagoon



You are unlikely to meet Brooke Shields, but the Blue Lagoon is one of the Jamaica tourist attractions not to miss. The incredible colors of the Blue Lagoon are a result of its depth: almost 200 feet.



Play a round of golf



Jamaica is home to some of the Caribbean's finest golf courses. Try the Breezes course at Runaway Bay or the Sandals Golf and Country Club in Ocho Rios. Or head to Montego Bay, home to many of Jamaica's finest courses.



Go scuba diving



The coral reefs around Jamaica are threatened by environmental pollution and global warming, but remain great Jamaica tourist attractions for snorkeling or scuba diving. There are some good dives near all the major resort towns: Montego Bay, Ocho Rios, Port Antonio, and Negril. The Port Royal area near Kingston has many sunken ship dives and tropical fish.



Buy some Jamaican souvenirs



Shopping in Jamaica can be somewhat stressful, with hawkers aggressively pushing goods on the streets of all the major towns. It is worth the struggle. Jamaican crafts like hand-made fabrics, wood carvings, or paintings make great souvenirs. Jamaican coffee is some of the finest in the world. Tia Maria coffee liqueur and Jamaican rum make great gifts for people back home. the shopping malls in Kingston are a good place to find deals on European and American clothes and luxury items.



Relax on a beach



There are so many great Jamaica attractions, but sometimes what you need from a vacation is just the opportunity to unwind. Jamaican beaches are perfect for relaxing. Most Jamaican resorts have a private beach. Sitting on a beach with a drink in hand you may forget there are other things to do in Jamaica. This is not a bad thing.

Answer 2

You can do the typical stuff that the tourists do, but there are many other wonderful places that aren't really advertised. Check out tripadvisor.com and search for eco-tours. There are many tour guides available, but I have always used barrettadventures.com. They offer a cockpit caving adventure, if caves interest you, although it is a long trip and I am not sure how long you will be in port. One of the coolest trips we did was swimming with the manatees on the south coast, which you can combine to see Y.S. falls. Y.S. is beautiful and far less crowded than Dunn's. Either way you will get to see more of the island than staying right around port. Or, just stick with the typical spots and join in with the crowds, I won't waste time re-listing them.

Answer 3

I went on Royal Caribbean to Jamaica. I did a tree top zip line excursion. I beleive it was called the Canopy tour. It was amazing, You go through zip lines in the top of the trees, i was so glad i did it!!! and it's also really fun, rain or shine
