Jamaica has a reputation for friendliness and for the relaxed attitude of its inhabitants. The Caribbean is a good place to just chill out from the hectic rat race you call life. This most popular spot in the Caribbean welcomes visitors looking for the attractions of a warm climate, exotic sea life and crystal blue waters. Jamaica vacations offer tourists warmth on every level. Visitors may get so into the friendly spirit that they make friends for life.

Book a tour ahead of time by accessing on-line companies and you could save money. You get to peruse them at your leisure, from the comfort of your own home and without pressure. This also gives you security of knowing your place is reserved on a bus, helicopter, boat or on horseback. Not that you need to always be so prepared: Jamaicans are known for being laid-back after all. Just be sure to pack your camera. You are going to need it no matter what tours you take. Keep the battery charged and a spare memory card at the ready.

A visit to Montego Bay shows the island at its very best. Here visitors explore the eighteenth century origins of rum manufacture with, of course, samples. What is a rum tour without a tipple? Board a mini-sub for undersea tours, showcasing the exotic wildlife in these warm waters. Board a catamaran drinking tour to make new friends and learn new ways to drink rum.

At Negril take in views from the cliffs or close your eyes for a nap on the beach. A river tube will change the pace, while a zip line ride raises pulse rates. Visit Rockland Bird Sanctuary as your concession to education, learning about native birds like Banana Quits. A Black River Safari will quash the myth that all crocodiles are man-eating horrors. On the John Hall Adventure, learn about Jamaican history including native cultures and the impact of Europeans (plus, back to rum again, the root of many a Caribbean cocktail).

Many rivers running through Ocho Rios means several falls and gardens to enjoy. There are multiple sides to this town. Visitors and locals take part in water sports. Stop here for parasailing, snorkeling, jet skiing, or a dolphin experience.

Tour on land by ATV or bus. Head for the skies in a helicopter for a scheduled or charter ride. Enjoy the thrills of white water rafting and tubing. No matter which way you play, your holiday is bound to introduce you to many people and involve lots of adventure.

Jamaica attracts weddings, especially when the bride and groom want to make a break from the traditional. There is nothing like photos of your big day set against a spectacular sunset and white sand. If friends decline your invitation due to the cost, make up your wedding party with the help of friendly islanders and tourists. You know where to find the rum.

Many transportation companies dot the island. They will pick you up from the airport and take you to your hotel. Tour companies collect guests from their hotels and drop them off again at the end of a full day playing explorer. It sounds like Jamaicans are ready to sweep guests off of their feet.
