Blue Hole Lagoon
The legendary Blue Lagoon is a must-see on your tour of the Port
Antonio area.
This spring fed “bottomless” lagoon emptying into a Caribbean
cove was where Brooke Shields made her famous swimming debut.
Swim, snorkel, get some rays and bathe in the source of this
pristine mineral spring.
Visitors and Jamaicans alike never miss stopping at the “Blue
Hole.”
Blue Mountains
Jamaica’s Blue Mountains are a hiker's paradise and should be on everyone’s agenda if at all possible.
Experience breathtaking vistas, lush mountain flora, wild flowers abound, rare birds, bridges, and vestal waterfalls.
This region is home to the renowned Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.
When in Jamaica the Blue Mountains are a must-see.
You have to see it to believe it.
Frenchman’s Cove
Frenchman’s Cove will capture your heart
as soon as you arrive at its 60 acres of lush gardens trailing down to the sea.
A long-time favourite of pirates, royalty and celebrities, it’s a setting out of a dream.
Play in the waves, sun yourself, take a stroll and enjoy the food and refreshments.
Don’t forget to drop into the natural sand bottom spring to rinse off the seawater.
An afternoon at Frenchman’s Cove is a world-class day by anyone’s standards.
Reach Falls
Get ready for a day of world-class swimming in crystal-clear
waterfalls.
The ride into the hills to Reach Falls is amazing.
When you arrive at Reach Falls, the scene is immediately set
as you hear the cascading waterfalls welcoming you.
Swim to the falls and play underneath the rolling waters in a
setting that rivals any in the world.
Rafting
Rafting down the Rio Grande River is an unforgettable and relaxing way
to experience Jamaica.
As your local licensed “raft captain” poles you two at a time on
his 30-foot bamboo raft from the foothills of the Blue Mountains
you’ll experience the fantastic stories the captains
love to tell their passengers about the river, the banana trade
and Errol Flynn. You’ll be greeted by villagers that live off
the river in a place where time stands still; an experience that will leave you everlasting memories of
Portland, Jamaica.
Scuba Diving
The Lady G Dive station is a certified PADI DIVE CENTER located at the Errol Flynn Marina in Port Antonio Marina and
offers various packages and diving instructions. Jan Lee Widener is the Master Scuba Diver Trainer. The first dive is
conducted at 11:00 am and another dive is scheduled in the afternoon. Further details can be requested by e-mailing at
ladygdiver@cwjamaica.com.
Many of the sites are largely unexplored, and the reef relatively undisturbed. Alligator Head is known for big sponge formations
and black corals on a banking reef that drops to extreme depths. An interesting note: the world record for a free dive was set
at the Blue Lagoon by the dive shop owner's son, David Lee on April 14th 2001 at 45 meters/148 feet in 1:40 minutes.
