Maroon Town Day Trip

At 10 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Ocho Ríos and head east towards Charles Town.

After a scenic hour and a half long journey, we'll reach this traditional Maroon town. Our first stop will be at the Charles Town Maroon Museum, where you'll discover the history of the Jamaican Maroons.

The Maroons were brought from Africa as slaves and rebelled against the British colonisers. Throughout the day, you'll learn about their history and many interesting facts.

An important element of this community's culture, and that of the entire country, is music. On this day trip, you'll have the chance to enjoy traditional dancing.

After dancing and having fun with the locals, we'll make our way to the Buff Bay River to cool off with a dip in the water.

Before we return to Ocho Ríos, we'll head to a local restaurant where you can enjoy a traditional lunch (not included). We will arrive back at your hotel at about 3 pm.
