Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're looking for some other activities, the last time I came I did Dungeon River Falls, which is a super popular activity to do here.

Always walk past the first taxes you see. Um, the further away you go, the better the price tends to be.

This Scarlet Night goes down in history as probably the best Scarlet Night I've ever been to.

It is a crime to only have one day in Jamaica. This is a place that we definitely have to revisit and stay a while.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“When looking for a taxi, walk past the first ones you see to negotiate better prices.
βœ“Ensure your tour guide is licensed and has business cards or a uniform.
βœ“Give yourself at least an hour of buffer time to get back to the ship from excursions to avoid missing it.

Safety and being approached by aggressive vendors β€” Keep walking past the first people who approach you and drive a hard bargain with prices.

This vlog is a mix of real-time exploration, honest observations, and beautiful moments on the island.
