If you are planning to head to Caribbean for a holiday, then Jamaica should feature high on your list of Caribbean destinations. Whether you are traveling with your family or friends, this island is guaranteed to turn your holiday into an unforgettable experience. There is so much to see and do that a little planning in advance will benefit you greatly. Undoubtedly beaches form a major part of Jamaica’s tourist attractions and the two resorts of Negril and Montego Bay are home to quite a few popular beaches.
Negril Beach or often referred to as Seven Mile Beach because of its length is a popular beach resort. The restaurants, bars and pubs draw both tourists and locals alike all day long. The beach is safe and appropriate for a cool swim, snorkeling or a diving tour.
The other popular beach resort is Mondego Bay, which also boasts a number of interesting beaches and diving sites. Founded in 1906 by a group of doctors and even named after them, Doctor’s Cave Beach is a popular bathing site and the waters here are known to possess curative powers. The crystal clear waters are fed by mineral springs and usually have a temperature of between 78 degrees F and 84 degrees F. The bathing spot also contains a couple of dining options, changing areas and showers.
Another must see site is the Dunn’s River Falls, which is a majestic 600 ft waterfall that cascades graciously, crisscrossing slippery little steps before merging into the deep blue sea. You can enjoy the majestic site from a distance or even dare to climb up the falls with the help of an experienced guide, or swim in small whirlpools.
Who can forget the famous Bob Marley or the James Bond novels? Visit these two great legends home and museums at Ocho Rios resort. Take a tour of the famous Bob Marley Mausoleum or enjoy the magnificent natural surroundings with a ride on the Chukka Cove’s Zion Bus. James Bond fans can visit the famous Goldeneye estate on which Ian Fleming wrote his legendary spy series.
Last but definitely not the least is the capital Kingston, which too has a number of interesting attractions including the 120-year old Devon House Heritage Site that is known for hosting events even now. Also the coffee plantations that date back to two centuries are yet another well-known site that gives you a glimpse into the lifestyle of yesteryears.

The very famous last words of Marco Polo – the great traveler, explorer and adventurer were “I did not tell the half of what I saw”. Well, he could have told all had we launched XpdO during his life time! Adventure Travel expeditions have been a source finding out new place around the world for decades. People with a hunger for adventure have been travelling around to places which have been never hear of before. Many such travelers like Marco Polo, Columbus, Magellan and many more contributed immensely to such adventure travel communities and the world also. Whatever Marco Polo and the other great travelers did share in their travelogues opened the eyes of their readers to a completely different world with its own culture, customs and people. Such travelogues served as destination guides, travel tips, route maps etc. Such Travelers used to share trip information through writings and books, and such source of information created awareness and curiosity among people. That is the power that XpdO aims to provide to its members. The power to broaden the horizons of their peers by sharing their own experiences!
There is no better source of information than a person who has experienced it himself/herself? At XpdO, the members share their first hand trip experiences capturing beautiful moments, sights on the way, places to eat, practical difficulties etc of their trips. Also, the members get to see the actual photos taken by travelers and not the digitally edited ones that are posted on tourism websites. There are many routes one can take to get to a destination depending on preferences and resources. Most of history’s great explorers provided detailed route maps in their travelogues, which had been used as Travel Guides. But in present era of technology not just route maps, but things like actual trip photos, gps data, trip videos, and high tech travel maps have made travelling more easier on one hand but on the other they offer so much for a traveler to discover that it is difficult for a traveler to see all in one life. Traveling is a lot more than just visiting a place and admiring its physical beauty. It encompasses everything a place has to offer: its scenic beauty, its culture and customs, its cuisine and the wonderful people you meet there.
XpdO is a travel group for people who want to know more about the world around them, outside those fancy travel magazines and books. For those who believe there are many more things to explore than what travel channels show on TV. For those who have zeal to walk a few more steps into the wilderness and see what others had missed. For the passionate travelers who not just “explore” but also “experience” and “express”.
There are many travel guides available in the market but most of them have information which is market driven, travelogues from fellow traveler are a more worthy source of real information which is better suited for adventure travelers who want he raw [...]
