We all need fun or relaxation activities to beat the summer heat. We can suggest things you can do without booking a flight. Here are a few family-friendly and cost-effective options.
Grab your sneakers or hiking boots, rain gear, and backpack, and take a trip to Holywell Park. This beautiful piece of nature in the Blue Mountains covers more than 1000 acres. It is populated with a ton of tropical plants and trees, including the blue mahoe, and is home to many species of wildlife, birds, and butterflies. Holywell has five walking trails suitable for adults and children that allow access to breathtaking waterfalls. It is also a comfortable camping site for family and friends.
If you're looking for wild fun and high-pitched screams, Mystic Mountain in Ocho Rios might just be the place for you. It allows you to see Ochi from a different point of view via a 700-foot adventure tour to the mountain peak. Mystic Mountain offers an array of tours to explore the rich ecosystem, see the beautiful rivers, and enjoy remarkable vistas. It is an exciting but safe way to entertain yourself and your family.
Scuba diving in Jamaica this summer is a must-add to your bucket list. There are ideal sites in Montego Bay, Trelawny, and Portland. Near Kingston, many people scuba dive off Port Royal and the cays. Scuba diving lets you explore the underwater environment, meet our sea creatures, and see the beautiful reefs. It’s a quiet activity so it is mostly relaxing. You don’t need to be an expert swimmer as there are gears to assist with your dive. If diving sounds like an adventure you’d like to try, go for it this summer.
If your idea of fun is getting a little dirty, then we have other wild adventures for you. The ATV, buggy rides, and horseback riding are plentiful on the North Coast where adventure tour companies abound. ATV and buggy tours take you into the countryside, getting your adrenaline high and your clothes muddy. These activities are great for families and will leave you with long-lasting memories and stories for a lifetime.
There's no time to waste because summer is here. Take the kids, tell your friend
s, and explore our beautiful island this summer.
