How to Spend a Week

3rd day

 If the cruise ships are not in this is a great day to "do the falls." This is one of the most well know tourist attractions in Jamaica. When the ship’s are in, it is very crowded. In that case I would trade this with the activities of another day. The falls are about a mile and a half. There is a path along side the road call "One love trail". If it is not too hot and you enjoy walking.

This is a nice walk, taking your time and enjoying nature as you stroll along. If you do not feel like walking, have one of the drivers drop you off and pick you up at a set time.  You may also catch a  taxi at the falls for your return. Make sure you set the one way return fare of less than $10 before you get in. I would spend the greater part of a day here.  It has a beautiful white sand beach with crystal blue water. You get to climb a cascading waterfall. It's like no other feeling in the world, the cool clean mountain water massaging your body as you "climb the falls". You may take a leisurely route stopping at one of the "lover's caves" or you may "challenge the mountain" either way,  you will find it an unforgettable experience. I personally do not use the guides. You can take you own pace and follow path and the steps of other in front of you.

You may want to pack a lunch or eat from one of the vendors at the beach. The food here is good and prices typical of what you pay at attractions in the US.
