What to expect

Your journey through Jamaica's north will unveil the culture and history of the island. You'll visit the Charles Town Maroon Museum to learn about the Maroons' struggle for freedom, enjoy a tasty lunch and stroll through Sun Valley farming estate to sample fresh fruits and vegetables. Jada, one of our expert local guides, says "the Jamaican Maroons have a proud and fascinating heritage. They are descendants of enslaved West Africans who escaped from plantations and created communities known as Maroon Towns. These communities preserved their African roots – the Maroon culture is known for vibrant music, dance, storytelling, herbal medicine, and cuisine."

Our first stop is at Sun Valley Plantation, a cute little farm where you'll stroll through gardens to look at tropical flowers and taste some of the fruits and vegetables that're grown here. You'll also see how the locals have farmed here for generations. Afterwards, you'll head to the Charles Town Basic School, a small school at the heart of the Charles Town Maroon community. Then, you'll visit the Charles Town Maroon Museum – home to a wealth of artifacts, including traditional clothing, weaponry, and musical instruments. You'll learn about the Maroons' long struggle for freedom and their important role in Jamaica's history.

Next, it's time to sit down for lunch, which will have you eating like a local thanks to all the traditional Jamaican dishes on the menu. You'll dine in a laidback spot overlooking the coast.
