The mountains are an under-explored part of Jamaica for most of the tourists who visit the island, but they offer a cool and more relaxed contrast to life in the big resorts and on the beach.

A scenic drive through the Blue Mountains is a must for the more adventurous driver. Learn new skills as you simultaneously avoid potholes while steering round an oncoming lorry without dropping off the cliff edge. If you and your vehicle survive you wil have had a thrilling scenic journey. More

Coffee farms, flower gardens, soldiers doing their drills in their ceremonial uniforms at Newcastle, quaint villages, waterfalls, tiny restaurants and so much more - all against the backdrop of the most majestic (and really blue) sweep of mountains and valleys to be found anywhere. More

We made it to the peak! I/we are still in awe that we managed to make it up to the peak-all of 7420 feet! We hired Sun Venture Tours to guide us on the Blue Mountain Peak Sunrise Tour. It took us about 4/1/12 to get to the top just in time to meet the most beautiful sight I have... More

We have travelled to Blue Mt. peak over 10 times. In the "old days" (1970's) have driven a Morris Minor pick-up, a Ford Ranger pick-up and a Volkswagen all the way to Whitfied Hall. Even drove the Ranger over the metal footbridge between Maavis Bank and Hagley Gap. You would not even contemplate such vehicles for use on the Hagely... More
