Why Jamaica Should be Your Post Prom Destination

Jamaica is one of the most popular destinations in the Caribbean and for good reason! Known for its fantastic beaches and impeccable hospitality, Jamaica should be on everybody’s bucket list.

Travelling can be expensive but it doesn’t have to leave you broke. Jamaica is home to many all-inclusive resorts. For one fixed price you can get accommodation, food, drinks, entertainment, amenities, and much more. Travel agents and airlines will often offer bundles that will give you a discounted cost on either the flight or the resort. Budgeting can also make a huge difference in not only saving for your trip but managing your money once you get there.

Climb a waterfall

Dunn’s River Falls is a famous natural white river waterfall. It resembles a giant staircase, which makes it possible for people to climb it. It’s easy and completely safe that even children climb it. At 183 meters, this climb can be done in an hour. This attraction is great for the adventurer and the laid back tourist. Who wouldn’t want to be able to say that they climbed a waterfall?

Another one of Jamaica’s natural wonders is Luminous Lagoon. This lagoon glows in the dark because it’s filled with microorganisms that glow at night. Just imagine the Instagram photos!

Life is a beach

Jamaica has gorgeous white sand beaches with crystal blue water. The Frenchman’s Cove is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This remote beach is enclosed by lush gardens. A day of relaxation at one of Jamaica’s stunning beaches will make you never want to leave.

Delectable food

Jamaican cuisine is delicious and fresh. The fruits, vegetables, eggs, meat and even seafood is all locally grown or sourced.  Jamaica is known for its tasty jerk-seasoned dishes like jerk-chicken. Ackee and salt fish is a traditional meal that you should definitely try. The real problem will be trying to leave with your summer body still intact!

Perfect for adventure seekers

Jamaica is known for bobsledding and at Mystic Mountains you can bobsled down the mountain just like the movie, Cool Runnings. You can also get your adrenaline going by zip lining through the rainforest. This excursion is perfect for thrill seekers. Make sure Rick’s café is on your list of sights to see. The café is a popular spot for cliff diving and catching the gorgeous Jamaican sunset.

Swim with the dolphins

It’s time to cross swimming with dolphins off your bucket list. A visit to Dolphin’s cove will let you swim with dolphins, sharks, and stingrays. Jamaica is a great place to go snorkeling and scuba diving. You can also get amazing pictures of your adventure by getting a disposable underwater camera.

Visit Jamaica and you will discover why it’s such a sought after destination!
