There are also many hiking trips that you can take, in particular, you can hike to Jamaica’s famed Blue Mountains and get your chance to overlook the majestic Jamaican landscape. The hottest trend among adventure seekers is to go on a leg-flailing, high-adrenaline pumping action by zip-lining high above the ground. Well, if that sort of thing appeals to you then you are in luck. In Jamaica, there are plenty opportunities to go zip-lining amid the verdant Jamaican jungle.
If you are in Kingston, travel to Port Royal and see where Captain Henry Morgan and his rowdy crew made their home of immorality and infamy. Visit the home of the real pirates of the Caribbean, see their wine bottles, utensils and belongings unearthed after the famous 1692 earthquake and have an adventure just seeing a part of history covered in such swashbuckling mystery.
Another type of adventure seeking of the ghostly kind can also be found in Jamaica. The Rose Hall Plantation is home to Annie Palmer, dubbed the White Witch of Rose Hall. The hauntings of Annie Palmer have been featured on many Jamaican TV programs and the legend of this evil apparition draws many to tour the great house to see for themselves. Annie Palmer is a slave-cursed woman infamous for killing her husbands and for random tortures of her slaves.
