What to do in Montego Bay


Catamaran ride

Nothing better than basking in the sun on a catamaran in Jamaica. Heat, sea, reggae music and entertainment: the perfect cocktail to get away from everyday life and make the most of your vacation. Several tour companies even offer a snorkeling stopover at Crystal Cove.


Croydon in the Mountains

This plantation nestled in the mountains appeals to travelers who want to learn about the country's culture. In addition to contemplating breathtaking landscapes, you will have the opportunity to taste the local flavors like different varieties of pineapple and sugar cane. Coffee lover? The transformation process will have no secrets for you after this visit.


Martha Brae River

Descending the Martha Brae River on a 30-foot-long bamboo raft is a must-do activity when visiting the Montego Bay area. While descending through the rapids, the guide will tell you the legend of this famous Jamaican river.


Shops and markets

If you want to mingle with the community and experience Jamaican life, you have to go to Market Street. On Sundays, there is an outdoor food market where you can find several fresh products and exotic dishes. There are also several shops, restaurants and bars on the nearby Hip Strip, offering an unusual atmosphere.


Horseback riding

Horseback rides are perfect for discovering the country from a different perspective. It is possible to practice this activity on the trails of the rainforest or in the countryside. However, be prepared and wear your swimsuit, as these animals sometimes like to go off the trails to cool off in the waterways!
