Bob Marley Experience

If you’re visiting Jamaica, chances are you’re a fan of Bob Marley. What better way to celebrate the King of Reggae’s life and music than a tour of his birthplace, house, and mausoleum?

When you visit the Bob Marley Museum, you get a sense of his daily life, as it is located in his boyhood home in Nine Mile. There's his hammock and his herb garden, as well as the beat-up Land Rover he drove around the island, not to mention the frescoes on the house depicting everything he loved.

Inside is more memorabilia, including original newspaper clippings saved by the man himself, as well as the Tuff Gong recording studio which has been turned into a theater showing a film about Bob Marley's life and times.

Practical Info

Bus tours depart from your Montego Bay hotel, and over the next two hours, you'll wind your way through the lush scenery of tropical mountains. The bus drivers are engaging and provide complimentary soft drinks, and the ride home stops for an authentic jerk meal.
