Trudy & Eric
Things To Do
Cool Blue Hole Ocho Rios
Rope swings, clay face and body mask, refreshing mineral spring and cliff jump await! Participate in some or all activities, or just enjoy the scenery.
Mystic Mountain Jamaica Adventure Park, Rainforest Adventures
If you’re traveling with kiddos this is a must! Roller coasters, zip lining, rock climbing, obstacle course, chair lift and a full (or half) day of fun! Also very close to Runaway Bay.
Dolphin Cove Ocho Rios
If you haven’t had a chance to swim with dolphins, this could be the perfect opportunity! Life jackets are available for non or weak swimmers. Truly an unforgettable experience!
Dunn's River Falls & Park
It’s a pretty iconic climbable waterfall and beach. 😎 if you can walk you can climb! There are also tour guides available to hold your hand the whole journey up the falls.
Blue Mountain 🏔
This region is just lovely! Believe it or not you’ll want a sweater as it gets chilly up in the clouds. There are breathtaking hotels, excellent home grown coffee and delicious restaurants here for a day trip or extended stay. Eric and I strongly recommend the bicycle tour. If you plan to visit Portland also you could easily include BlueMountain on the same day trip or extended stay.
Negril
It’s another beautiful (west) side of the island. ~2.5-3hr drive from Runaway bay, we think it’s more romantic too. It’s known for its miles of sandy beaches on shallow bays with calm, turquoise waters. Seven Mile Beach, particularly the portion overlooking Long Bay, is lined with bars, restaurants and resorts, many of them international and all-inclusive. If you’re planning on extending your stay beyond the wedding you may want to spend time here. Our travel agent can help you plan your trip too!
Portland Parish
Portland is a parish on the northeast coast of the island of Jamaica. You’ll find the BEST jerk pork here and the beautiful blue lagoon. It’s way less touristy, not as well known and another option if you plan to extend your stay on Jamaica.
Ocho Rios Jerk Center
The mother of the bride NEVER passes by/through Ocho Rios without having lunch or dinner here.
Devon House Mansion & Creamery
If you find yourself in Kingston you MUST stop here for world renowned ice cream and patties.
Morant Bay
This is not really a food or activity recommendation. Just a Fun Fact. The bride’s mother was a teacher here, Morant Bay Prep School, and lived in the teacher's cottage while teaching. This is where the bride spent her earliest years as a daughter to ALL the teachers. When they say it takes a village, this was Trudy’s first village as a baby/toddler/preschool.
