The Montego Bay Bob Marley Museum Tour  will take you to Nine Mile, a quaint little village in the beautiful mountains of St Ann, Jamaica.

Each year thousands upon thousands of Bob Marley fans make their pilgrimage to the Bob Marley Museum to pay their respects and to experience the birthplace and final resting place of the King Of Reggae.

Our Bob Marley Reggae adventure begins directly from your hotel or cruise ship pier. From Ocho Rios, Nine Mile is a 1 1/2 hour drive through the countryside and is a journey that introduces you to a part of Jamaica that few visitors have the opportunity to appreciate.

Our breathtaking drive to the Graceland of Reggae begins with a tour through the famous Fern Gully, where we wind our way uphill through some of the most beautiful scenery in Ocho Rios.

Our ride continues into the Jamaican countryside as we enjoy the sounds of Bob Marley and take in the rural villages of Jamaica’s hillside. Upon your arrival to Nine Mile, you will experience the neighborhood and home that influenced Bob Marley to write lyrics for some of his most famous songs.

Your tour starts with a walk through the same house where Bob lived as a young child. Then, your Rastafarian guide will share tales of Bob Marley’s childhood and musical career.

Our Bob Marley Nine Mile Excursion is a tour for die-hard Bob Marley fans and for those seeking a better understanding of a young man whose music and vision helped change people’s thoughts worldwide. His music and message had a global effect, and his untimely death made him a legend and an icon.

On your return trip to Ocho Rios, we can stop for some shopping or visit a Local Jerk Chicken center where you can experience an authentic lunch of jerk chicken, pork, and rice & peas.

Robert Nestor Marley spoke of the simple ways of rural life. He spoke of peace, respect, and freedom. These are the values and qualities instilled during his youthful days in the small mountain village locals still call Nine Mile.

One love and one great Jamaican adventure. If you are a Bob Marley fan, do not miss it.

Was first made to feel comfortable by the quality of the equipment and the professionalism (with humour) of the entire staff. Led by Jason, he gave us a great overview of the process and then led us up to our 1st of 7 zip lines and 3 suspension bridges. Of course it was scary at first but I learned to enjoy the ride knowing I was safe and in great hands with Jason and his team. Thank you for helping me face my fear! Onto the Dunn’s River Falls climb, last time did it I was about 35 years old, now I’m almost 68! You definitely need to be steady on your feet and strong enough for some stretches but everyone is helpful to one another and supportive to get you there. It’s loads of fun and rewarding when you reach the top. This was a great day where I stretched my limits and felt proud by the end of the day. Highly recommend! Read more Written April 15, 2024

• 0720melanies 0 contributions 2.0 of 5 bubbles Not worth $90!! I did this adult only excursion on 3/29/24. The price was $90 through Amstar. It said to offer unlimited drinks, snacks, snokling, a party on the boat, a tour of Negril and then get to go to Rick"s Cafe. Jamwest is a cool hangout spot. The staff is friendly and cool. Check out the gift shop. Back to the excursion... it was not worth $90. The drinks were unlimited and the "snacks were just bags of chips. Getting onto the boat from the beach, they make you walk through the water with all of your belongings. That was not told when booking. Also, getting on and off the boat is dangerous. You really don't need to bring anything, but money. The ride was horrible. Myself and 2 others became nauseous. You couldn't get up and party due to the horrible ride. The bathrooms had no soap or running water. If you decide to snokle, you get the gear. For those who are not snokling, you just sit on a quiet boat. The DJ turns the music off and it is completely quiet on the boat. You only get an hour at Rick's Cafe. Which isn't not enough time to truly enjoy yourself. Once there you can jump of the cliffs. Rick's is always super crowded. You will definitely enjoy the dancing, the music and just the vibe there. It is not just worth $90. Read more Written March 30, 2024

The only note would be to carry closed toe water shoes. The excursion communication called out water shoes and did not specify closed toe. When we got there we were told that we could not go on the excursion if we did not have closed toe shoes. We had to purchase them at the site which was very expensive.

We had to pay our way back too and I didn’t want to. I was told by Velma that the resort will call the cab if we want to leave earlier than 3. At 2 we asked Velma for our cab and he was on another route, couldn’t come. We asked other taxi drives from the same company to take us back to the ship and they said we have to pay again. Then, we found our cab hiding in the parking lot, waiting for 3 o’clock so he can take more people in one transport. The name of our driver was Dexter. The beach was crowded and shallow water to the waist. Narrow beach! When locals lie to tourists is bad business. Never again there! Read more Written February 3, 2024

Nobody coming there wants to walk through the crap to get to the kitchen. Take off the sponges and leaves to better welcome guests. Also need to get someone on clean up duty. The island is littered with trash, nobody paying $1200 for a boat ride to private island expects the trash that over shadows the experience. Clean up the beach and amenities for the guests. Pick a boat company each week to haul off some trash. Read more Written January 11, 2024

Re: Bob Marley Nine miles Excursion from Ocho Rios

Dec 14, 2022

We actually had an amazing time. Both our drivers were amazing. They stayed with us, made sure we were safe and that we felt comfortable. They shared information about Jamaica with us and were knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our excursions and they met or exceeded all of our expectations. All 6 people in our group was very please with the tour.

Thank you kindly!

My excursion to Bob Marley Nine Miles Tour from Ocho Rios with Karandas Tours was fantastic. My husband, my son, and I thought we would be going on a tour with a bus load of people and really didn’t know what to expect. However, we had a private, tour/transportation driver (think his name is Davidson) that made us feel comfortable and special on our tour. He was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable during the drive to Nine Miles. Karandas Tours met all my family’s expectations. We were very pleased with the services we received from Karandas Tours and would book with your company again in the near future.

Many thanks, it was a fantastic day! Our great driver made this difficult road trip very save and we were luckily the first persons at Nile Mile. -> Greetings to him! You have such a beautiful country (specially farn gully and the mountains) and the flair at Nile Mile is very awesome. Of course we will come back! We don’t know when we will come back, but it’s for sure that we will book with you again! Many thanks for this great day! Wish we were still there….:-) Best wishes, See You

We had an awesome time on our tour. Steve was wonderful! I can’t imagine our trip being more fun. Thank you very much! We will definitely be booking again on our next trip.

Hi Dwight, Had to let you know that we truly had a wonderful tour. Our Driver/Guide was magnificent very informative and patient with the group. We did indeed enjoy Jamaica so very much Thanks you so very much for you excellent service. We couldn’t have gotten anything better. Again Thank You.

Good Morning Dwight, First of all thank you so much for taking care of my reservations. Second, of all Orlando was such an awesome driver. He was on time, very professional, and such a knowledgeable driver. He was simply superb.

Good morning, I work in the tourism business and I think that your driver was very skilled, polite and professional. It was a pleasure the tour with him, the name was Donald if I’m not going wrong.

What cruise lines sail to Jamaica?

Several cruise lines sail to Jamaica with most itineraries departing from the United States. Royal Caribbean sails to Jamaica from Tampa, Florida. Celebrity cruises to both Ocho Rios and another Jamaican port, Falmouth. Carnival has several itineraries that stop in Jamaica, including a few that sail the Panama Canal. Carnival Cruise Line and Princess Cruises sail to both Montego Bay, located on the northern side of the island, and Ocho Rios. MSC, Norwegian , and Holland America also include Jamaica on their cruise itineraries. 

MSC alone offers more than 50 cruises that stop in Jamaica.

Jamaica cruise itineraries often depart from Texas or Florida and include other Caribbean islands. Some include more adventures, sailing to Central America or through the Panama Canal. 

What cruise ships sail to Jamaica?

Cruises to Jamaica tend to be longer, with many itineraries falling into the five- to seven-night range, so you’ll need more than a long weekend for this vacation. Ships sailing here tend to be larger and stacked with onboard entertainment and activities. Most ships sailing to Jamaica, like Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas , the Norwegian Escape , and the MSC Meraviglia , carry thousands of passengers, but Viking Cruises and Oceania Cruises sail to Jamaica on ships that carry 1,200 passengers or less.

Whatever kind of cruise experience you’re looking for, you can find it on a ship headed toward the sandy beaches and reggae beats of Jamaica. These are some of the best Jamaica cruises for every kind of traveler. 

Which Jamaica cruise port is better?

Ocho Rios on Jamaica’s northern coast is the island's largest and best-located cruise port. It offers easy access to two of Jamaica’s top attractions—Dunn’s River Falls and Mystic Mountain, where you’ll find bobsledding and zip-lining—and several of Jamaica’s most popular activities. In Ocho Rios, you can ride horses on the beach, take a tour to learn about Bob Marley and the roots of reggae music, or relax on sandy beaches. The port is a quick walk from town, making it easy to explore on your own if you choose not to take an excursion.  

What is the best month to cruise to Jamaica?

There’s no place like Jamaica to escape winter. Jamaica’s dry season stretches from mid-December through April and brings sunny days with pleasant temperatures. Cruise to Jamaica between mid-December and April for perfect beach days and good weather for exploring rainforests and local markets.
