Step by Step
On this Bob Marley to Nine Mile tour you will depart from Montego Bay for a profound and unforgettable experience, following in the footsteps of "The King of Reggae". A professional driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Montego Bay and take you to the hometown of the musician who, together with his band The Wailers, influenced generations with his songs.
Along the route through Jamaica's villages on the way to the Saint Ann's region, you will see iconic houses of the area, such as the Rose Hall Great House and the Greenwood Great House, both with interesting stories that your private guide will tell you.
Next destination is Columbus Park in Discovery Bay, an interesting place where you'll find ruins from the Spanish colonisation period, the remnants of one of Christopher Columbus' voyages to the island.
At Nine Mile, you'll learn all about the beginnings of reggae legend Bob Marley, in the place where he was born and to which he always returned for peace and inspiration. You'll stop off at must-see stops, including his childhood home, his bed and the unique 'stone pillow'. The space is now a museum.
You'll gaze up at Mount Zion, from where he devised many of his songs, while a Rastafarian tour guide tells you details of his life and you'll learn more about what 'Tuff Gong' represents to Jamaicans.
Finally, you'll pass the mausoleum where Bob Marley is buried, a sacred place for Rastafarians, who define it as a space with a very deep spiritual energy.
