Puerto Rico or Jamaica?Country forums / Caribbean / Jamaica | ||
My husband and I are wondering if we should visit Puerto Rico or Jamaica while we have a 4-day vacation coming up in April. We are looking for a place that has a lot of fun, adventurous, out-doorsy activities...we're definitely the hiking, bungee jumping, white-water rafting, etc type. We're not looking to stay at a resort or do anything super touristy. We want to travel around w/ ease (not going to rent a car or anything) and see as much as we can. We like doing things that are off the beaten path, but definitely still do the "must-do" activities and the "must-see" places. Any advice? Thanks! | ||
You can hike, zip-line, dive, parasail, cliff dive, and go caving in Jamaica. | 1 | |
Thanks, Mike. Sounds like there's a lot of fun things to do in Jamaica! | 2 | |
Just back from Jamaica - our family like you wants the adventure. We like diving/snorkelling & Jamaica flights were on sale. Water was rough & cold, though the guys saw lion fish at James Bond beach. the ziplines were 6xs what we paid in Honduras, new bobsled run as well - also heaps of money. These activities are 4+ hours from cliff diving which we didn't partake in. Due to renting a townhouse we went either east or west for max 2 hours 1 way. Cave exploration was bland, but we've seen some fabulous caves. We saw green grotto caves - excellent guide, but pretty much what we could come up with as indoor activity on day 4 of rainy weather. | 3 | |
