Day Trip to Charles Town

We’ll pick you up from your hotel starting at 10 am to leave Kingston towards the north of the island.

In about an hour and a half, we’ll arrive at Charles Town, home to one of Jamaica’s largest Maroon communities. Here, we’ll visit the Maroon Museum to learn about the history of this community and their fight for freedom.

The Maroons are descendants of Africans brought as slaves in the 18th century and they played a key role in Jamaica's independence. They identify as independent communities of ex-runaway slaves.

During our exploration of Charles Town, you’ll experience locals performing traditional songs and dances.

Next, we’ll go to Buff Bay River where you can swim to cool off, followed by a visit to a nearby restaurant for local cuisine (lunch not included).

After lunch, we’ll return to Kingston, arriving at your hotel around 3 pm.
