The third largest island in the Caribbean at 4,411 square miles Jamaica wields its weight well. This spirited island insists that you return by refusing to reveal all of its secrets in one fell swoop.

A trip to Jamaica may include river rafting, waterfall climbing horseback riding, beachcombing, or hammock swaying. Perhaps a few historic plantation houses, Indian sites or pirate haunts may be explored. It is guaranteed, however, that a subsequent trip will unveil even more pursuits worth pursuing.
