Bob Marley Mausoleum & Dunn’s River Falls Private Tour

Nine Mile is known for being the birthplace of the legendary reggae king Robert Nesta ‘Bob’ Marley. It is located in the rural countryside in the parish of St. Ann, a few miles south of Brown’s Town. It is accessed via deep, winding roads and it is where Bob Marley’s body lies in the Marley Mausoleum. Bob Marley was born in a small cottage in this small rural town and lived there until he was thirteen years old. The inspiration for many of his songs came from his memories of growing up in the village. It is also where his ‘rock pillow’ which he often lay his head on when seeking inspiration is located. Some of the guides are relatives and friends of the reggae legend and perform renditions of his songs as a part of the tour. They tell you stories of how Bob grew up and the things he did as a child. They show you the home he grew up in and many of his personal effects including his guitar and his favorite chair.

Dunn's River Falls is one of Jamaica's national treasures. Globally, it is as well-known as Reggae and equally stimulating. There are few places where the Arawak name "Xayamaca" - land of rivers and springs - is more apt. The Spaniards called the area "Las Chorreras" - the waterfalls or springs - and it is truly one of the most beautiful spots on the island. A stone's throw from Ocho Rios, one of Jamaica's fastest-growing resort centres, Dunn's River Falls is unique. Described as a living and growing phenomenon, it continuously regenerates itself from deposits of travertine rock, the result of precipitation of calcium carbonate from the river, as it flows over the falls. The small dome-shaped cataracts are usually associated with thermal spring activity found in limestone caves. This, combined with its location near to the sea, gives Dunn's River the distinction of being the only one of its kind in the Caribbean, if not the world.
