Best Private Montego Bay Airport Transfer/Taxi
Jamaica gets its fair share of
visitors which grows each year. We now welcome over three (3) million tourists annually. This
figure consists of both cruise passengers and stop over visitors alike. There
are three (3) major tourist areas on the island, incidentally which all are located on
the northern coast of the island; they are Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril.
There are also 3 major cruise ship ports and the same is true, all are located
on the northern coast of Jamaica in the towns of Falmouth, Montego Bay and Ocho
Rios. Getting around the island is relatively easy once you decide on what mode
of transportation to use, whether shared or private. They both have advantages
and disadvantages and so it would be best to explore both possibilities first
and then make decisions.
A lot of the airfare packages do
come with Montego Bay Airport / Hotel Transfer which is
generally shared transportation on a big bus. For most times, the first timers
to Jamaica will certainly go along with this set up. However, it is common to
see seasoned visitors to the island are opting for private transportation service.
Cruise lines calling on Jamaican ports do have active marketing strategies and
people in place selling tours and excursions before docking. These tours are
not privately done and are more like buying a space on a bus, the ‘cookie
cutter’ method.
The hotels on the island do have at
least one tour desk in each lobby selling tours and excursions. This type of
setup may give visitors a sense of security for two reasons. The first is that
to the visitors the hotel is like a big brother that is trusted. The other
reason is that since the tour well have almost 50 other people on board, it
lends a bit of security in the sense that there will be more support if
anything should go wrong.
If visitors are thinking about flexibility then for sure private transportation is the only way to go. With flexibility, one gets to see more and do more. Jamaica has a fascinating culture which dated back to pre-Columbus era. It has changed colonizers and has a kaleidoscope of cultures which are all reflected in the modern society.
Two thirds of the island is covered
with limestone which is responsible for Jamaica being a major exporter of
bauxite which is the raw material that makes aluminum. The limestone topography
is also responsible for the hilly terrain, beautiful mountain ranges and
majestic waterfalls (Blue Hole Excursion). Jamaica has 120 rivers mainly originating in the hilly
central terrain of the island. All of the island rivers and streams head to the
Caribbean Sea and with such hilly terrains it is easy to see why there are so
many majestic waterfalls.
With so many things to do and see,
private transfers and tours would be a great option. Don’t be afraid to
explore, soak up the culture and leave with a better appreciation of land of
Reggae Music, Blue Mountain Coffee and Jerk Chicken.
