The Most Beautiful Caves in Jamaica
Jamaica is not only about the beaches. Its beauty extends to natural caves you could never imagine visiting before. We wanted to share with you another reason to visit Sandals in Jamaica, because this is definitely unique experience that is worth living.
Here are five of the island's most famous caves waiting for you to come!
Blue Hole Mineral Spring
Let’s begin with this one, located just 30 minutes away from Negril. The Blue Hole Mineral Spring is a picturesque cavity filled with crystal blue waters. For those who enjoy adventure, dive deep into the depths to explore and take absolutely amazing pictures, while others preferring relaxation can chill in its mineral-rich pool. The allure of a refreshing dip in the vibrant green waters is irresistible.
Green Grotto Caves
Situated between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, the Green Grotto Caves have a rich history and diverse ecosystem. This cave has interconnected caverns adorned with stalagmites and stalactites. Curios fact: this cave was once used as hideouts by indigenous peoples, Spanish settlers, and runaway slaves. Maybe you can explore it here and even find clues from ancient civilizations!
The Throne Room
In Negril, you can descend between 40 to 70 feet into the depths of The Throne Room, where a labyrinth of marine life is waiting for you. You will see colorful sponges, eels and even barracudas. This cave is renowned as the habitat of the orange elephant ear sponges.
Widowmaker's Cave
Montego Bay is the host for the Widowmaker's Cave. If you have never seen Soft corals, red polyps, and schools of fish, this is where you need to dive in. Divers need to navigate through a tunnel for an unforgettable underwater adventure.
Cave of Refuge
Our last option is located near the Green Grotto Caves. The Cave of Refuge will time travel you to Jamaica's past. Could you ever think about visiting an old sanctuary for runaway slaves? It's accessible via a short hike, and the cave's spacious interior is perfect for discovering history secrets.
