Jamaica – Caribbean & Conservation

The Experience

Embark on an unforgettable journey to the Caribbean, where we’ll go beyond the resorts to see the real Jamaica. The island’s vibrant culture unfolds in a tapestry of community and tradition that we will be warmly welcomed into. From Rastafarian communities tucked in the green mountains to village schools, we’ll explore the island with a lens into the day-to-day life of those that call Jamaica home. 

From our base along the white sand beaches of Negril, we’ll venture out to see the best of Jamaica. Learn to make soap and candles from a local artist, explore the markets of Montego Bay, snorkel over colorful coral reefs, take a sunset cruise along Negril’s 7-mile beach and experience an unforgettable farm-to-table cooking experience.  Each night, unwind in the comfort of a hand-picked boutique hotel located on the beach. 

Our Impact

From towering mountains to some of the world’s clearest waters, Jamaica holds an array of natural wonders. As guests of Discover Corps, we’ll take you behind-the-scenes to meet with several groups working to preserve the environment. Venture to the community of Good Hope, just inland from Negril, to Risen Messiah Basic School. Meet with the students and teachers before engaging in an ongoing program entitled the “Going Green Initiative”. Join the students in their efforts to repurpose plastic bottles and better understand the impact recycling has on the environment. Then meet with the Negril Area Environment Protection Trust (NEPT) for a morning learning about conservation through visits to the mangroves and marine sanctuaries. Hop into the clear waters to see the coral reefs firsthand and learn about ways NEPT is working tirelessly to preserve them.
