Jamaica Holidays
With reggae at its heart, Jamaica is the very essence of the Caribbean. Jamaica holidays are perfect for the active, there's much to do beyond the sunbed. Hike in the misty Blue Mountains, from where the famous aromatic coffee comes, canter on the beach by moonlight or go rafting down the Martha Brae river, an island sport introduced by Errol Flynn in Jamaica's former glory days.
