    What you'll see and do

    1. Columbus Park

      The town of Discovery Bay is where you will find Columbus Park. It was originally named Puerto Seco (“Dry Harbour”) by Christopher Columbus in 1494 when he and his men landed on the Island. It is said that could not find fresh water to drink. They later found fresh water in another area about 5 miles west of the town. The water was so good that they named the location where it was found Rio Bueno (“Good River”). However, the town of Puerto Seco was later renamed in 1947 to Discovery Bay because Discovery Bay is where the Spanish, lead by Christopher Columbus landed when they invaded the Island on May 4, 1494. There is a park with several old relics and artifacts on display. There will be a brief stop to take photos and capture the rich history of this historic town.

    2. Nine Miles

      Bob Marley was born on February 6th, 1945. He died on May 11th, 1981. Visiting this small town is a priority for all tourists, cruise ship and stopover passengers alike from Ocho Rios, Falmouth, Montego Bay and from as far as Negril in the west. Nine Miles is a tiny village in hills of St. Ann where the reggae legend, Bob Marley was born, and fittingly, the place he’s now laid to rest. Although Bob Marley moved to Kingston at age 13 to live with his mother and to advance his music career, he would often return to Nine Miles to get away from the fast pace life of Kingston. Home is where the heart is and Bob Marley wrote several of his hit songs when he was in St. Ann. Nine Miles Jamaica was always his home and to have the full experience of Bob Marley; you will have to visit this town. A tour of this settlement will leave you with a greater understanding of the legend Bob became; in fact, the community today is pretty much how it was in Bob Marley’s early days. A Rastafarian tour guide will be on hand to guide you around the property and answer all your questions. Still present, is his first home and the very bed he slept in as a young child also as an adult when he would return on his many “cooling out” visits. The rock that he used as a pillow, on which he would relax. Quite a few guests have said that they have felt the presence of Bob Marley. The Nine Mile Tour includes his birth and resting place, what he liked to do and Mount Zion, the spot where he drew his inspiration from to write his songs. Visit the nearby Ethiopian church where his body was laid to rest with his guitar. Please remove your shoes before you enter as a sign of respect. Feel free to look around.

    Honoring the life of Bob Marley

    We were on a Royal Caribbean cruise to Falmouth, Jamaica and booked this tour with Viator. They were very communicative about where to meet. Unfortunately and fortunately, there weren’t enough people so we opted to pay more for a private tour with them. Copely was our driver and tour guide. He picked us up in a clean, comfortable tour van. Copely is a native Jamaican and he was absolutely wonderful. We had great conversations for the few hours we drove to St. Ann’s and back. If you love Bob Marley, you take this tour. We got to see his childhood home and his mausoleum which is on the property. On the way back we stopped at a restaurant for some authentic curried goat and jerk chicken of course. We also tried some fruit cake. Great guide, great tour!

    This was a very fun...

    This was a very fun cultural tour. The driver picks you up on time, stops at roadside places along the way. It was cool to see Bob Marley's childhood home. The jerk chicken at jerk central on the way home was one of the best I have ever had. Highly recommended excursion.

    Bob Marley museum tour

    After a while on flat road, it will be plenty of curves and hills. The driver was great. I believe his name was Kirt sorry if it is not correct. The tour guide was Dee. She was knowledgeable about the journey. The museum was very personable about Bob Marley's life and family. They have a gift shops. Also, a food area. I had the best meat patties I ever tasted.

    A day at Bob’s

    Wonderful activity. Copley our guide/driver was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. He was very patient and accommodating. Letting everyone take their time shopping and stopping for extra bathroom breaks. Bob Marley’s nine mile is great to experience. Our guide there was amazing he had a great bit of knowledge about Bob and his family and band, songs he sang his songs to us during breaks in the narrative. Upon arrival you pass through a Rasta Hut where you can purchase ganga in any form. Our day was close to 8 hours long and not a dull moment. You get to see Bob’s tiny house his bed and his resting place along with family pictures and resting place. Highly recommend.

    Bob Marley's Nine Mile Day-Trip with Admission & Guided Tour from Falmouth: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.

    How much does Bob Marley's Nine Mile Day-Trip with Admission & Guided Tour from Falmouth cost?

    +

    Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Bob Marley's Nine Mile Day-Trip with Admission & Guided Tour from Falmouth take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montego Bay is not rushed.

    Is Bob Marley's Nine Mile Day-Trip with Admission & Guided Tour from Falmouth worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Bob Marley's Nine Mile Day-Trip with Admission & Guided Tour from Falmouth?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Bob Marley's Nine Mile Day-Trip with Admission & Guided Tour from Falmouth suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Bob Marley's Nine Mile Day-Trip with Admission & Guided Tour from Falmouth?

    +

    Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montego Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Bob Marley's Nine Mile Day-Trip with Admission & Guided Tour from Falmouth start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montego Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montego Bay?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montego Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Montego Bay Clear Kayak Drone Photoshoot & Video. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montego Bay?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Montego Bay?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
