It’s worth it if you want a good place to relax, appreciate nature, learn about history and get to know the rastafari culture. The main touristic destinations are the resorts in Montego Bay and the city of Negril, known for diving and snorkeling in the turquoise water. Kingston, the capital, is home to the Bob Marley Museum, Murney Tower and other historical attractions. Dunn's River Falls and Dolphin Cove are among the most visited marine attractions where guests can interact with wildlife such as dolphins, sharks, stingrays, birds and iguanas!
The 10 best places to volunteer in Central America
Travel as education: how a world trip gave me what classrooms didn’t
Jamaica is a great place to volunteer abroad. English is the official language and people communicate well with foreigners, but most people actually speak Patois or Creole. Like many of its neighbor countries in Central America, Jamaica welcomes volunteer help from all over the world. If you want to know more about the big picture of social work in Jamaica, the National volunteer centre in Kingston is a good place to start. You can help at orphanages, NGOs, eco projects, social projects and more. Check our host list to see places that could use a hand.
