Come alive in Kingston
Jamaica's beating heart
Feel the energy of Carnival this spring as you dive into Kingston's "Season of Excitement". The Caribbean's cultural capital is buzzing in March and April when the streets are alive with celebration during a packed calendar of soca parties, cooler fetes, and sporting events.
Watch in awe as world-class athletes compete at the Grand Slam Track and the ISSA Boys and Girls Championships. Then get into the festive spirit with dazzling parades and dance parties that last long into the tropical night. Glitzy costumes and live DJs keep the atmosphere electric.

Things to do
It's easy to get your heart pumping with thrilling adventures like horseback beach rides, forest zip lines, and windsurfing excursions just a short hop from Kingston. Back in town, music lovers can visit Bob Marley's house and learn new moves at a reggae dance lesson. Don't leave without hunting for treasures at the local artisan markets.
Where to eat
Home of spicy jerk chicken and known for its fresh seafood, Kingston is a heaven for foodies. Begin your day with a cup of Blue Mountain coffee at Café Blue, then head to Devon House at lunch for lobster patties and sorrel ice cream. Finish your culinary explorations in the evening with some traditional curried goat at Ali's Jamaican Cuisine.
Nature
Immerse yourself in the natural wonders of Jamaica, with hikes and bamboo rafting adventures in the Blue Mountains. Here, you can enjoy a picnic beside a hidden jungle waterfall or search for rare endemic wildlife in the cloud forests. Alternatively, spend the day at the coast, snorkeling with turtles and tropical fish in the turquoise sea.
