At Jamaican Journeys, our mission has grown. What began as guiding travelers to the island’s hidden gems has evolved into something even more meaningful. We will still bring you unforgettable, authentic adventures across Jamaica but now, your journey follows your schedule.
Journey dates are now flexible. From December through May, you can travel at your leisure and create an experience tailored to your pace and interests. (June–November is hurricane season, so we do not offer journeys during these months.)
Your visit doesn’t just create memories it helps rebuild and restore Jamaican communities affected by Hurricane Melissa and beyond. Your journey helps uplift Jamaican people through direct support of local neighborhoods, supporting families, small businesses, and the restoration of the island we all love.
Whether you want a high-end, all-inclusive villa or a peaceful eco-lodge, a boutique stay, or even a campsite under the stars, Jamaican Journeys curates the stay that fits your vision.
Journeys begin at $1,300 and up, depending on location, activities, and accommodations. Each experience is customized, no two journeys are the same.

The One Love Community is the heart of Jamaican Journeys, a circle of travelers, supporters, partners, and locals who believe in lifting each other up. What began with small acts of kindness has grown into real, lasting impact. After Hurricane Beryl, we helped a young mother secure a tablet for her child’s schooling and supported a local farmer with funds to rebuild fencing to protect his livestock. Following Hurricane Melissa, we traveled to Jamaica on November 9th to deliver “envelopes of blessings” directly into the hands of families in our One Love Community, along with providing meals and support where it was needed most. Even without a GoFundMe page, we have been honored to receive direct donations from people who believe in our mission. Whether you journey with us, partner with us, or work alongside Jamaican Journeys, you’ve become part of this family, a community where love isn’t just a word, it’s action.
