Ground Travel in Jamaica

We are going to be in Falmouth in early February on a cruise. We do not like ship-sponsored shore excursions.  We would like to rent a car and driver for 4-5 hours to see some of the real Jamaice

No reason not to oher than your driving ability.
The roads are narrow and you must drive on the left hand side.
I would stick to the roads most traveled, we had trouble on a small road with an attempted shake down on the ruse of selling sugar cane.
We ought not to have stopped.

Fun- climb Dunn's River Falls outside Ocho Rios.

Homage- visit Bob Marley's home/masouleum in Nine Mile.

Probably not enough time, but wonderful- town of Mandeville, up in the mountains.

Be VERY careful in Jamaica. Some fellow cruisers a couple of years ago who took a private "tour" ended up being taken to a warehouse where the driver and "tour guide" threatened them with a knife and took their money.

Jamaica is NOT a safe place for private touring. I will not be going back there ever.
