Portland is a beautiful and diverse Parish and this is reflected in the choice of activities available.

We can arrange 1/2 day & 1 day custom-made tours.

The following activities are available and our staff will be happy to arrange any of these for you:

Beaches

Winifred
15 minutes drive west of Long Bay. Picturesque white sand beach with lots of trees & small river.

Boston
Small cove right on the roadside. 10 minutes west of Long Bay. Good for surfing.

Frenchman's Cove
Idyllic sandy cove with river, trees and food. Owned by the Frenchman Cove hotel J $250 admission.

San-san
Another private beach. Wide curving sandy beach close to the Blue Lagoon, the location of many movies and Monkey Island is a short swim and is good for snorkeling. J $300 admission.

Waterfalls & Rivers

Reach Falls
One of the more exquisitely beautiful waterfalls in Jamaica. Located 15 miles into the hills it has a large swimming hole and lush vegetation

Somerset Falls
Located 10 minutes drive west of Port Antonio ( 40 minutes from Long Bay). This is a cool oasis with pretty gardens and picnic tables. The water falls from high up through a hole onto a rock far below. You can swim and dive in the pools.

Bath Fountain
About 45 minutes drive into the hills of neighboring St Thomas, this natural mineral Hot spring is well worth a visit. Either take a healing bath in the hotel or walk along the river and experience the hot water directly from the rocks. The water is rich in minerals and has many healing properties.

Surfing
The best surfing beach is Boston Bay. Body boards & surf boards can be rented there or in Long Bay. Surfing lessons are available at both locations.

River rafting

The Rio Grande river is a beautiful place to spend the day. Bamboo rafts take you through the lush valley. Approx. 45 minutes drive west of Long Bay.

Snorkeling

San-San, Monkey Island & Winifred Beach are the best. We have snorkels & masks available to rent for a small fee.

Scuba Diving
Guided tours and Scuba diving lessons are available from the Port Antonio Marina.
