From
a Crocodile Safari to a 3 day trip to Cuba, there is a large
choice of tours.
If
you rent a car you'll naturally use that for land trips, but it is
expensive to keep a car in the car park while you spend most of your
time on the beach. Established tour companies, for example Tropical
Tours Limited, run one, two or three times a week to eight or nine
places. For a couple or a single person, this is probably the most
economical and friendliest way to go. You may prefer to hire your own
little bus and driver (we recommend Mr. Paul Jerry whom we have known for
18 years or more and works independently). Then you have more control
and can stay as long as you wish or have side trips to other places of
interest. If there are four to six persons you will probably also save
money.

Swim to Booby Cay from our beach.

| Mayfield
Falls. |
|
One
of my favourites. Travel past sugar plantations, through villages and
down to the River Mayfield, where you walk up the whirling river,
enjoy the falls, have lunch and relax as long as you wish afterwards
in the remote wooded valley. US$50.

River Crocodile Safari and Y.S. Falls. |
| Lunch
is included. US$65. |

Valley River Rafting and Plantation Tour. |

| |
| Grand
Ocho Rios Tour, including Dunn's River Falls. |

Lunch optional extra. All day tour. Nice, but a lot of riding. |
| |
|
Three
Day Trip to Cuba.
|
| Fly from Montego Bay
to Havana on Air Jamaica, 3 nights hotel, with breakfast. While there you
can visit the famous Tropicana Cabaret, the old Spanish city with its decaying
architecture. Cost about $700 (in 2008). |
| |
|
Belvedere
Plantation.
|
| |
|
Port
Antonio by air.
|
| |
| Ocho
Rios by air. |
| |
| Kingston
by road. |
| One
day tour. I wouldn't do it. No thanks! (Not recommended as it is too
far for a one day trip, with the possibility of spending hours stuck
in traffic). |
| |
| Black
River Safari, Y.S. Falls, Bamboo Avenue, Lovers' Leap and Treasure
Beach. |
| This
is an all day tour by Mr. Jerry which will cost a group of 4 about
$63 each, including entrance fees and lunch. Start at 8 a.m. and
return when you are ready, for sunset on the beach. Change the
itinerary to suit yourselves. |
| |
| Bamboo
Avenue, Appleton Estate (Sugar and Rum), Seaford Town (German settlement
in the 1800's) and Rocklands Bird Sanctuary). |
| A
very interesting day out. Discuss this tour with Mr. Jerry or use
your rented car. |
| |
| You
don't have to book any of these tours much in advance, which is good
because once you are at Carib you may decide to put off the
tours until your next visit (or the one after). |
