With waterfalls, and springs, river, streams flowing from the forest-clad mountains to the fertile plains and white sand beaches, Jamaica has one of the richest and most varied landscapes in the region.

Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains form the longest mountain range along the eastern edge of Jamaica and features majestic scenery.

Ys Falls

For a spectacle of pure natural beauty it's difficult to beat YS falls in St. Elizabeth Parish. The YS falls unlike many waterfalls in Jamaica are tucked away in a secluded rural location and receives relatively few visitors, allowing you to relax and enjoy the surroundings, away from the hubbub of the crowds. The YS Estate is located deep in the sugar growing region of St. Elizabeth Parish. Once you arrive at the estate a tractor-pulled jitney will take you to the waterfalls.

Blue Lagoon

The Blue Lagoon is a natural lagoon, situated roughly seven miles east of Port Antonio. The deep lagoon was once thought to be bottomless but divers have since determined it's depth to be around 54.8 meters. The most striking feature about the Blue Lagoon is its mystical blue colour which changes throughout the day, depending on the angle of the sun. A day spent by the Blue Lagoon one can see the huge change from turquoise to sapphire to deep blue.

Dunn's River Falls

Dunn's River Falls is one of Jamaica's national treasures. Globally, it is as well known as reggae and equally stimulating. There are few places where the Arawak name "Xayamaca" - land of rivers and springs - is more apt. The Spaniards called the area "Las Chorreras", the waterfalls or springs and it is truly one of the most beautiful spots on the island.

Black River Safari tour

Black River Safari is about 2 hours from famous Rockhouse. The Great Morass is Jamaica's largest surviving wetland - 201 square km to be exact - and taking a boat tour along the swamp's main waterway, The Black River, is the best way to experience it. Since the Morass is a complex ecosystem and vital preserve for more than 100 bird species, you may see cinnamon-coloured jacana, egrets or whistling ducks. But it's the 300 American crocodiles living here that bring most people out to the Black River.

Luminous Lagoon

Luminous lagoon surrounded by mangroves is located in the north part of Jamaica. It is home to microscopic organisms that emit a bio-luminescent light when agitated. The water glows a beautiful blue and becomes illuminated when these organisms are disturbed. As the fish in the lagoon swim and dart around, you can see their outlines as streaks of light, shooting around in the darkness of night. When it rains, the lagoon ‘lights up’ with the drops of water dancing on the surface. The lagoon and bay is about 3-8 feet, or more, in depth which is relatively shallow for the area it covers.

This phenomenon can only be seen in four places in the world and the Luminous Lagoon in Jamaica is considered the best place on Earth to live this experience. Glistening Waters Luminous Lagoon is the only natural night-time attraction in Jamaica. Embark on a remarkable boat tour out onto the bay and witness the bio-luminescent phenomenon that will leave you in awe and have you remembering this experience for the rest of your life. Those who wish can enjoy a swim in the lagoon can do that.

An experience not to be missed!
