Learn about Bob Marley, the reggae legend

As you journey through the small market towns, you will spot the hills that lead toward Nine Mile, in the parish of St. Ann’s, to visit the birthplace of the undisputed King of Reggae.

At Nine Mile, you will hear the story of Bob Marley’s childhood and rise to stardom, taking in where he was brought up, as well as the mausoleum where his body was laid to rest, along with his guitar. Also see if you can spot the Rasta-colored ‘rock pillow’ where Marley laid his head when searching for inspiration. Who knows, maybe you will have your own epiphany?

There are lots of lovely tributes to Marley around the village, from street art to statues, making sure the memory of a musical hero is kept alive.
More reggae and a cool drink

While your guide takes you around the site, you will come across a reggae show that takes you back to the times when Marley himself was playing his music. This show happens at a small but interesting museum devoted to the reggae legend’s career.

To top it all off, you can enjoy a refreshing drink at the bar while the contagious reggae beats are playing in the background.

Head to the refreshing and stunning Dunn’s River Falls

Once you have paid your tributes soaked up as much history as you can, it’s time to discover another St. Ann’s legend. Travelling back down through the Jamaican hills, you will reach one of the most beautiful attractions of the island — Dunn’s River Falls.
