About this experience
Be prepared to fully immerse in the way of life of the Jamaican people.
Learn our history and what make us who we are. This journey takes you through the infamous Fern Gully which is actually a river bed, now dry, that has hundreds of species of ferns which give this 11 mile stretch of road a unique jungle like experience. Our visit to the iconic Devon House gives you a peek into how the early aristocrats in Jamaica lived. Devon House is home to our world renown Devon House ice cream - the Devon Stout flavor is heavenly.
Next is our tour of the Bob Marley Museum, recently featured in the box office hit "One Love" Movie, a Bob Marley Biopic. This is the place to truly feel the spirit of Bob Marley as you walk about the house and yard that he lived and made his music.
