Cottage Holiday In Wales The Jamaican Tourist Board (JTB) is keen to stress that once you go, you know. The decision is how much do you want to know?

"The JTB has always believed that Red Stripe Sumfest is an integral part of Jamaica's cultural calendar. Each year, Sumfest showcases the rich and varied musical talents of the island and the JTB has always supported this stellar event. We are more than pleased to once again be a major sponsor of the event."

Caravan Holiday In Wales Accommodation in Jamaica can be dominated by large all-inclusive chains a one-stop-shop for all of your holiday needs. However, this should not limit your adventuring spirit.

Montego Bay is Jamaicas second largest city and a major tourism hub. Set on a large and beautiful bay, it is a good base from which to explore the surrounding countryside of Jamaica¯ northwest. Mo Bay, as its locally known, is also one of the most cosmopolitan of Jamaica¯ resorts, featuring an assortment of deluxe hotels.

Camping Holiday Wales Lounging on a beach in Jamaica is all well and good it doesnt, however, have to stop there. There are plenty of other activities that can enthuse you spirit and lively up yourself.

Belize Belize Okay, okay, I don't know where YOU are going, but me, I'M GOING TO BELIZE! miles of coastline, fabulous tropical weather, and since their economy is pretty much based on tourism, they really know how to pamper! Formerly the British Honduras, territorial disputes between the UK and Guatemala delayed the independence of Belize until 1981. Then, Guatemala refused to recognize the new nation until 1992. Still, tourism has become the mainstay of the economy, and they are very, very good at taking care of guests.

Accommodation Holiday Wales One good way of getting the balance of both beach holiday and adventure break is to combine an all-inclusive get-a-way with optional excursions.

Holiday Last Minute Wales In terms of tours the pride of Jamaica would have to be Chukka Caribbean Adventures. A well-executed and professional operation Chukka offers some of the cream of Jamaican tours. From canopy swinging to Sea-Trekking, the options are varied and equipped to suit most tastes.

Catering Holiday Self Wales Modern Day Tarzan

Holiday Wales Walking An Original Canopy Tour enables you to swing through the jungle domain under the assistance of very qualified and friendly staff. Your guides will take you on a zip-rope ride of the highest order. Via the means of a state-of-the-art pulley system you are enabled to swing through the vines like a modern day Tarzan (my guide however had no interest in becoming my modern day Jane, despite persistent jungle calls).

Family Holiday Wales From the Canopys to the Ocean

Holiday Riding Wales If swinging from the branches isnt to your liking and the ocean is more your bag then why not try Sea-Trekking? This underwater activity is geared towards those who long for the opportunity to sample the delight of the submerged world but cannot bring themselves to don mask and regulator.

Adventure Holiday Wales A 25-minute guided tour takes in some of the wonders of the Caribbean coral formations. Your head is encased in a breathing unit allowing you to move freely, giving a good field of vision. At first I was weary of an ocean-based activity that allows you to walk on the seabed envisaging damage to the underwater habitat.

Holiday Park South Wales However, feet only ever touch the sandy bed with the coral surrounding you. As ever the rules are, look but dont touch. In other words, take only memories, leave only footsteps. It works. The Sea-Trek is a superb activity for cruise arrivals. Good for people who fancy a break from a traditional excursion.

Cottage Holiday Wales (www.chukkacaribbean.com - Walk up rates for the Original Canopy Tour and Sea Trek are US$65 and $60 respectively prices will differ at hotels)

Holiday In Wales Riding Reggae Style

Holiday Wales If horseback riding across the pristine white sands of Jamaica appeals to you then, well done. Having previously been dismounted from a rapidly charging folly on the mountains of New Zealand getting on a horse was furthest from my mind. A saying that greets me when challenged like this face your fears live your dreams.

Cottage Holiday In Wales Unfortunately, I have never dreamt of trotting down the sea front on a horse. The rest of the participants appeared to have the time of their lives though. Who am I to talk? (Coward).

Caravan Holiday In Wales The smiles across the faces of all others involved summed up the experience. A ride through the country down to the beach lead by entertaining and professional guides (Delroy, how will I ever forget your sentiments my Rasta friend ya mon, what ya doing mon? You know they can sense ya fear mon!)

Camping Holiday Wales The highlight for most was the ride through the sea I must admit even I smiled just. The trip is a great family excursion for those in touch with their equestrian friends!

Accommodation Holiday Wales (www.bracostables.com - US$60 per ride including transportation US$50 without.)

Holiday Last Minute Wales Get up, Stand up

Catering Holiday Self Wales A trip to Jamaica would feel empty without paying some form of homage to the late, great Bob Marley, and the music that made him the legend he was - Reggae. In Ocho Rios there is the opportunity to example what is known as Reggae Xplosion the Reggae hall of fame. This whirlwind display-cum-documentary takes you through the time vaults of some of the worlds most influential music.

Holiday Wales Walking Displaying some of the best artefacts and imagery of Reggae music - Reggae Xplosion is a real treat and fantastic journey through the roots to modern day. If the vivid artwork, superb images and well stocked soundtrack of musical legends do not astound you enough, then surely your guide will. Just ask them for some dancing moves, they are going to make you wanna move those dancin feet.

Family Holiday Wales (www.islandjamaica.com - US$10/6 adult/child including guide. Duration appox. 1h)

Holiday Riding Wales Taste the Food Feel the Power

Adventure Holiday Wales Jamaica as a country can be an experience in itself from its welcoming people to its vibrant nightlife. One thing is for sure, to truly say you have been to Jamaica, you must try some local cuisine.

Holiday Park South Wales The spice of life can be found in jerk chicken, available in your hotel but much more authentic from the jerk bins that line the side of the road. The aroma of pimento and the fiery scent of Scotch Bonnet send taste buds soaring.

Cottage Holiday Wales Sample the hot sauce at Scotchies (located in Montego Bay ask the locals and you will find otherwise located opposite the Holiday Inn in Mbay) and take a memory home that you will never forget! (Make sure you have some Appleton rum to help wash the inferno down!)

Holiday In Wales Not Inclusive

Holiday Wales Jamaica does not have to be all-inclusive - boosting some of the finest boutique properties across the Caribbean. From the tranquil retreat of Strawberry Hill to the quaint and quirky Jakes (located on Jamaicas Treasure Beach South Coast the real Jamaica), the variety, as well as the spice of life, can be found on the Caribbean charm.

Cottage Holiday In Wales For true indulgence then there can be only two options, the legend that is Jamaica Inn and the luxury that is Round Hill. Both properties exude an opulence that time forgot.

Caravan Holiday In Wales In reality, Jamaica has it all and the only way to really know is to go.
