With so much to see and do on this relatively small island of Jamaica, tours are an effective way to experience the most. Considering distances between destinations, tours are also a good way to budget your time and money. While bus tours are robust with sights and history, walking, bike and boat tours are also a popular way to see the cities and get your fill of photography.

When to Visit
Caribbean hurricanes can be dangerous and severe. These usually occur during the rainy season in May, June, October and November. Hurricanes are predictable and the typical rain is hardly noticeable so season may not make a tremendous difference to the traveler.
Ultimately, there is no wrong or right time to visit. Temperatures hover at 80-86[[Degree|]]°F (27-30°C) year round. The island's many hills and valleys create micro climates causing the rain to come and go, being dispersed unevenly throughout the island.http://jamaica-guide.info/planning.your.trip/when.to.go/
