What to do in Port Antonio

Port Antonio is Jamaica's most fascinating and safe (yes safe!) ecotourism destination. Its rainforests and highland valleys with their unique mix of Jamaican flora and fauna offer opportunities beyond it's acclaimed white sandy beaches that attracts artists, ornithologists, writers, photographers and filmmakers.

For those that enjoy walking we recommend taking a day out from the beach to discover Jamaica's Blue Mountains where you'll be guided under misty, forested canopies, along footpaths where you'll see miniature orchids, primordial ferns, lacy moss, many endemic birds and with a bit of luck the endangered Giant Swallowtail Butterfly.

For something a little more gentle, there's a gentle ramble through the Rio Grande Valley. You'll get to experience its spectacular vistas over the magical Rio Grande River, which runs through the deep valley between rolling hillsides and the lush Jamaican rainforest.

For those looking to explore its cultural and historical roots there is the opportunity to step back in time and go to the independent Charles Town and learn about Nanny, who became the head of the Maroons and is the first and the last female to defeat the British in the early 1720s.

The hotel can organise individual tours for your Jamaican vacation ito ensure that your time spent you get to fully experience and enjoy the region and its culture.

Enjoy the Good Without Having to Worry About Anything Else

"Our stay at the Hotel Mockingbird Hill was a very pleasant surprise. Especially the food was more than great, with every day a big variety. The location up the hill near the woods and with a stunning view, also made our stay worth remembering.

We'll definitely recommend this to all you people who love fine cuisine, beautiful surroundings and a quiet atmosphere. The trips in the neighbourhood will be arranged from start to end by the lovely owners, to make it possible to enjoy the good, not having to worry about anything else. People, just go there and see for yourselves!"
