Why this trip
Jungle that reaches to the sea, and raft trips on a river that flows quietly along: Port Antonio lies on the north-east coast of Jamaica and is greener and more authentic than the rest of the island. It rains more often here, which is why the landscape stays lush. The Blue Lagoon is a deep, coloured pool of water in which you can swim. Frenchman's Cove is a small bay with beach and river, a place for families with time.
The Folly Ruins stand in ruin by the sea and are a destination for walkers, White Man Hole offers another place to swim. The catalogue lists The Trident Hotel & Castle. The best time to travel is between November and April. Negril in the west is far away, the journey takes long and is only worthwhile if you want to see the whole island.
If you limit yourself to Port Antonio, you stay away from the crowds and have time to experience the area on foot, by raft and by boat. Island Escapes clarifies in a video call how you travel there and whether a driver makes sense, because the roads are winding and the distances longer than the map suggests.
Getting there
From your Swiss airport, Island Escapes shapes the long journey up to the last boat transfer.
