At the indicated time we'll pick you up from your hotel in Kingston to begin a tour of one of the most famous sights in the Jamaican capital.

After about 30 minutes on the minibus, we’ll reach Port Royal, originally founded by the Spanish, which was once the largest city in the Caribbean until it was destroyed by an earthquake in 1692. During its peak under British rule, it hosted a Royal Navy base. We'll learn about its history.
