Caribbean Uncovered

Ecotourism in Jamaica: Sustainable Caribbean Travel in 2024

From its 14 majestic waterfalls to its historic cave system, Jamaica is a hub for eco-tourism in the Caribbean.  

Jamaica holds the title of the largest island in the Caribbean  – this means endless options for sustainable, outdoor adventures . Along with its famous waterfalls and unique nature preserves, you’ll also find 100,000 acres of National Park land across the country. 

In fact, Jamaica has multiple government-led organizations with a mission of improving the long-term sustainability of the island and its protected lands. 

As an avid Caribbean traveler, I’m passionate about protecting and preserving each island’s ecosystems – that starts with us, the visitors! We are in their home and should treat it as such. 

This article contains everything you need to know about ecotourism in Jamaica – lodging to activities and transportation and best practices – and how to have an exceptionally sustainable trip! 

What is sustainable tourism in Jamaica?

Sustainable tourism can look different in a lot of places depending on the environment, culture, and climate . But at its core, it’s about finding ways to balance tourism with environmental conservation and local community involvement.  

We’ve all seen what mass tourism can do and the awful side effects it can bring when the government doesn’t regulate activities and the locals don’t benefit from their land. Thankfully, Jamaica is aware – and they’re doing something about it.

Sustainable tourism in Jamaica has been in the works for the past few years, with the country’s government taking steps to promote responsible travel practices while also making sure Jamaicans are benefiting from so many tourists making their way to the island.

The island itself is full of natural beauty and breathtaking scenery. It’s so important to keep the jungles, forests, and beaches thriving for future generations of locals and travelers to enjoy. I’m so happy to hear you’re considering your impact as you travel to Jamaica, and so I’ve gathered the best natural attractions that are simultaneously perfect ecotourism activities. 

Ecotourism Natural Attractions in Jamaica

1. river tubing from ochos rios .

While some tourism boards have been building waterparks and fake rapids, Jamaica has instead chosen to invest in one of its beautiful rivers, the Rio Bueno. Where you can join a tour for river tubing down the rapids. It’s one of the most popular things to do in Jamaica.

You’ll be given an innertube with a life jacket and helmet before you start making your way down the river. Your guide will stop and point out wildlife along the way and stop for a swim at one of the many natural pools. 

Eventually, you’ll cruise up to the Bengal Bay shores for a dip in the Caribbean. This is one of the most popular river attractions in Jamaica so don’t miss out 🙂 

2. Swim in Jamaica’s Natural Springs

Jamaica is seriously a nature lovers’ playground, as soon as you get out of the resorts, the island is full of so much nature and wildlife. The natural springs around the island are a great way to connect with the island and swim in crystal-clear waters.

My favorite is the Mayfield Falls in the west of Jamaica . This is perfect if you’re staying in Negril and want to do a half-day tour. Loads of waterfalls empty out into gorgeous natural pools that you’ll be able to swim in – the perfect way to take in all of the greenery around you. 

The Blue Hole is also a really popular natural pool, but I’ll talk more about that later on!

3. Mystic Mountain Ziplining 

Ziplining and Jamaica go hand in hand.  You can’t visit Jamaica and not go ziplining – it’s just one of those things that you have to do. And, it’s freaking fun, so why not?!

There are a few different zipline tours in Jamaica, but I think the best is Mystic Mountain. And while at first glance, you might think, how is this eco-friendly? 

Well, Mystic Mountain is all about environmental conservation. They use solar panels to power the Sky Explorer chairlift, and they hold a bunch of eco-friendly tours on the mountain. The park was able to bring a whole lot of fun to the jungle without tearing it down, making swinging from tree to tree all the more enjoyable.

4. Waterfall Hiking: Dunn River Falls, Blue Hole, and more

Waterfall hiking is one of my favorite activities in Jamaica. And, there is none better than Dunn River Falls. It’s the most popular waterfall to climb on the island, and for good reason. 

The waters are absolutely stunning as they pour down the rocks, and you can climb to the top for some amazing views. But woof, the crowds can be insane.

But if you want to escape the crowds and didn’t book a joint tour, check out the Blue Hole. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still popular, but you won’t be waiting in line to climb any rocks. 

The Blue Hole mineral spring is a gorgeous natural pool with a waterfall and rope swings to Tarzan your way into the water. I wouldn’t call this one of the best hidden treasures in Jamaica , but it is a good escape. 

5. Blue Mountain Peak Hike – Highest Point in Jamaica (7,402 ft)

If you’re an avid hiker or just like to get out in nature, you’ll absolutely love the Blue Mountains in Jamaica. It’s a stark difference to the white sandy beaches and brings a little bit of a challenge to your vacation. But let me tell you, the views are worth it.

The Blue Mountain Peak hike is about 7 miles round trip and can take anywhere from three to five hours , depending on your pace. There are a few different trails if you are looking for something easier where you’ll still get some epic views. 

You can support the local Jamaicans by stopping at one of the local shops on the way to pick up some water and snacks. 

This can be a challenging hike so be sure to have plenty of water and sunscreen for your trip.

6. Experience a Retreat with Go Natural Jamaica

Immerse yourself in the way of local life by joining one of the retreats at Go Natural Jamaica. What started out as a yoga retreat center has turned into an amazing opportunity to get involved with the sustainability project and make your time at the retreat what you wish.

You can still enjoy your yoga classes, but you can also get out and explore Jamaica’s nature and wildlife at places like Treasure Beach and Frenchmans Cove. You can also visit their permaculture farm, where all your meals will be farm-to-table.  

Go Natural is set on making all of its operations sustainable so you can feel good about your stay and know that you are supporting a local business with ethical practices.

7. Kayak through the Blue Lagoon in Port Antonio 

Over the past few years, my Instagram feed has become flooded with gorgeous pictures of travelers on bamboo rafts through the iconic Blue Lagoon in Port Antonio. 

So naturally, I had to give it a try! I had the best time, and it also felt really good to be able to hire one of the local guides and learn from them as they guided me through the lagoon.

You can also rent out a kayak and paddle around yourself, but for the ultimate experience, I highly recommend grabbing a bamboo raft. I had no idea they could float that well or maneuver around the mangroves on the side.

8. Go Camping in Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park 

Most people only think of resorts on the beach when they think of where to stay in Jamaica, but I promise a night or two in the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park will show you a completely different side of the island.

Not only is this park home to some of the most breathtaking views on the island, but it’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a designated Important Bird Area. Plus, camping in the mountains surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air is an experience like no other. It’s also a nice break from the hot and humid weather down on the coast.

9. Snorkeling in Montego Bay Marine Park

Montego Bay is a popular tourist destination in Jamaica, and unfortunately, the marine life has suffered from over-tourism in the past. However, efforts have been made to protect and preserve the marine ecosystem through the establishment of Montego Bay Marine Park.

The Montego Bay Marine Park is an area spanning nearly 16 square kilometers. With over 20 kilometers of shoreline, including coral reefs, mangrove ecosystems, and seagrass beds, which means it’s also an ideal snorkeling spot. 

By choosing to snorkel in this designated protected area, you not only get to experience the vibrant underwater world but also contribute to its preservation and conservation. 

Don’t forget to wear your reef-safe sunscreen anytime you’re swimming in the Caribbean .

Sustainable Accommodations in Jamaica

When choosing where to stay in Jamaica, picking an eco-friendly accommodation doesn’t mean giving up your comfort or luxury. I’ve picked out four different accommodations that you’re going to love that have all implemented sustainable practices.

Mel’s Botanical Retreat Jamaica West Indies

Mel’s is the perfect place to stay if you love supportive boss babes in your life. The retreat is Jamaican woman-owned and operated. The community takes pride in small farming, as they have a coffee and banana farm on site. You’ll enjoy Organic meals, eco-friendly tours, and beach hikes, to name a few.

Rockhouse Hotel

If boujee is in your vocabulary, the RocHouse Hotel in Negril is taking it up a notch by offering five-star luxury while staying committed to sustainability. The property is out of this world gorgeous, located right on the shores of Negrils West End. I’m talking about walking out of your room and diving into crystal-clear waters. They have been Green Globe certified for over 20 years and continue to put Jamaica on the map for sustainable travel.

Geejam Hotel Jamaica

If the coast isn’t your thing, but you still want all the glamour of it. Stay in the foothills of the Blue Mountains at Geejam. This hotel is surrounded by lush vegetation and is so green that around every corner, you’ll be amazed. Instead of clearing out the land for a major hotel, Geejam has worked within the mountains and built alongside it to inspire travelers to connect with the land.

Camp Cabarita Eco Resort

Camp Cabarita is perfect for eco-travelers on a budget, and it’s honestly one of my favorite places to stay on the island. Everything has been built to bring you back to nature and to show you the Jamaican roots. Every tour they offer is eco-friendly, and when you’re not out and about, you can enjoy the solace of the jungle around you. Head to the river or hang out in a hammock and read a book while you breathe the fresh air.

Jamaica’s Eco-Tourism Efforts

There are some serious benefits of ecotourism in Jamaica! Here are a few ways Jamaica is working to converse and provide for its land and locals. 

Initiatives and Agencies 

In 2017, the minister of tourism announced the “Five Pillars of Tourism Growth,” which includes an emphasis on sustainable tourism . The Jamaica Tourist Board also partners with various other organizations like the JCDT , JPAT, and JET.

The Jamaica Protected Areas Trust Limited (JPAT) is a government agency that works to protect and manage Jamaica’s natural resources. They work closely with local communities to promote sustainable livelihoods and eco-tourism in protected areas such as the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park.

On the other side of the government coin is The Jamaica Environment Trust ( JET ), which is a nonprofit nongovernment organization that works to educate the public on environmental issues and advocate for sustainable practices.

Land and Water Conservation

Jamaica has the 5th largest concentration of endemic species in the Caribbean and has developed a national biodiversity conservation strategy with North America to reach the goal of protecting at least 30% of its land area by 2030.

Since 1995, Jamaica has joined the CBD, which is all about protecting the land and nature, using its resources wisely to conserve water, and sharing the good things that come from using genetic materials.

Cultural Heritage Protection

Jamaica’s commitment to sustainable tourism goes beyond just protecting the environment, as they also prioritize preserving their cultural heritage . If you’ve ever been to Jamaica, you’ll know how beautiful and important their culture is. 

The Jamaica National Heritage Trust (JNHT) is responsible for safeguarding and promoting the island’s rich cultural legacy through conservation and education programs.
