Travel from Kingston, Ocho Rios, Runaway Bay, or New Kingston into Jamaica’s Blue Mountains with guides such as Karen, Courtney, or Hewitt.

“The Blue Mountain Coffee Tour with Karen came in two parts. The first part is an excellent tour of the coffee plantation with a knowledgeable staff and absolutely delicious coffee tasting. The second part is an extremely pleasant ride to and from Blue Mountain and the history lesson about Kingston. Her vast knowledge and entertaining delivery makes her a tour a MUST for anyone visiting Jamaica. Highly recommended!”
