Waterfalls of Jamaica

Dunns River
The most famous waterfalls in Jamaica is Dunn's River Falls, Ocho Rios, St. Ann. The world loves it with a passion. Of course, we all know by now that if you are a scaredy cat, or if you are just not fit, then you hold someone by the hand and go at snail's pace up the left side of the falls. However, if you are real fit trooper then you climb the falls from the right side. Either way, when you get to the top you will feel a sense of accomplishment, be it real or imaginary. But it is a beautiful feeling.

There are many other waterfalls in Jamaica. Challenge yourself to find them all.

Say ‘I do’ in Beautiful Jamaica

Jamaican Wedding2
The problem with weddings nowadays is that they are just not exciting enough (boring, boring, boring…blah, blah, blah…yawn, yawn, yawn…am I dead yet?) And with the rate of divorce so high worldwide it’s definitely not a good idea to have a dull wedding. So make it wild and exciting, and of course, cost-effective.

Jamaican Wedding1
The most exciting weddings for some of the best prices on earth take place in Jamaica everyday. Say ‘I do’ on a rock overlooking the Caribbean Sea, on the edge of a pure white sand beach, or in a garden of the prettiest flowers. When you exchange vows in Jamaica you can be sure that your marriage will be off to a great start. And visit Jamaica at least once per year to celebrate life and to strengthen your union.

And gentlemen, listen up! If you want a guaranteed yes to your proposal then be sure to ask her to marry you in these exact words: ‘Will you pleeeeeeeeeeeaaase marry me, in Jamaica?’

Most resorts in Jamaica offer marriage services. Seek and ye shall find!

The Perfect Proposal Spot - Ruins, Ocho Rios

Will you marry me...pretty please?
Take her for lunch or dinner at the Ruins Restaurant then walk her out to the landing next to the Ruins Waterfalls. As she stares in amazement at the raw perfect beauty of the waterfalls, get down on your knees and ask her to marry you. It most certainly will be difficult for her to say no.

And the Oscar goes to JamaicaJamaicaJamaica. Big up all the players in Jamaica’s tourism industry. Congratulations to you all and keep up the excellent work. Bim!


At the prestigious 2007 World Travel Awards (‘the tourism Oscars’), Jamaica ruled.

Jamaica, on the heels of recording exceptional stopover visitor numbers for 2007, dominated this year's awards, which were held on December 12, 2007 at the Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort and Spa in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos.

Jamaica was judged the leading Caribbean destination and leading cruise destination. In addition, Air Jamaica was judged the region's leading airline, and also garnered the best business class and best airline Web site awards.

Not surprisingly, the Jamaica Tourist Board took home the leading tourist and conventions bureau title. In addition, the Sandals Resorts all-inclusive resort chain alone won a mammoth 16 trophies, including, The Bahamas' leading resort, and leading spa resort awards (won by Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort). It also won the world's best all-inclusive award, and the Caribbean's leading hotel brand award (for the 14th year in a row). Jamaican companies Chukka Caribbean Adventures and Trafalgar Travel were named the Caribbean's leading nature adventure excursion and leading travel agency respectively. Winners of the awards were decided by 167,000 travel professionals in over 2,000 countries.

Jamaica’s Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett said Jamaica is expecting a record 1.8 million visitors for the 2007/2008 winter season.

See you in Jamaica.
