Recommended to all Bob Marley fans!
My wife and I were so excited for this tour and we enjoyed our Bob Marley Tour with the transportation hosted by Corey. Corey was very nice and a good driver. The van was very comfortable and the AC was blowing cold. Corey helped take some of our photos and we enjoyed learning more about Bob Marley and seeing his home and Mt. Zion and the mausoleum. Highly recommended to all!

Amazing experience of 9 mile!
What an experience! Corey pick us up for our hotel and took us on a journey of a lifetime to the home of the King of Reggae, Bob Marley. On the way Corey gave us a great overview of Jamaica and provided us with some great information on the history of the country and then ofcourse the 9 Mile experience itself is unrivalled with great tour guides and an insight into how the legend himself grew up. Would 100% recommend!

Great tour & fantastic driver!
Corey was awesome tour guide/ transfer! He picked us up in our own private transfer, had complimentary bottles of water, he was very informative and told us a lot about jamaica and even went above and beyond on some stops on the way back to the hotel! We will book a private transfer/excursion with him on a spare day we have here!! Amazing service!

Bob Marley tour
We took my dad here for his 80th birthday. He is the biggest Bob Marley fan i know and really instilled a love of music in my brothers and me. We had the absolute best time on this tour and made memories that I still can't believe happened. Absolutely worth every penny and we'll be back the next time we're in Jamaica :)

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trelawny.
How much does Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $140 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Trelawny 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 Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Trelawny is not rushed.
Is Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Trelawny, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience?
+
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 Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience?
+
Around 9 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 Trelawny 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 Trelawny and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience 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 Trelawny 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 Trelawny?
+
On Outty we rank every Trelawny experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Authentic Down-to-Earth Half Day Tour in Montego Bay, Jamaica Culture Tour: Culinary, Cultural, History and Dance, Private Montego Bay Customized Tour with Pickup and Guide. 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 Trelawny?
+
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 Trelawny?
+
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.
What is included in Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience?
+
Included: On-board WiFi; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Round Trip Transportation from Montego Bay Hotels. Not included: Lunch; Snacks; Carbonated beverages; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Bob Marley's Spirit of Reggae - The Nine Mile Experience offered in?
+
