Tour Location

Trench Town Culture Yard is located in Trench Town, a neighborhood in West Kingston, Jamaica. It is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) or two hours drive from Ocho Rios, one of the main tourist destinations on the north coast of Jamaica. You can get there by car, bus, or taxi along the scenic A4 highway that follows the coastline1. Along the way, you can enjoy the views of the countryside, the mountains, and the sea. You can also stop by some of the attractions that dot the route, such as Dunn’s River Falls2, a spectacular waterfall that cascades into the sea; Mystic Mountain3, an eco-adventure park with zip lines, bobsleds, and chairlifts; and Dolphin Cove4, a dolphin habitat where you can swim with these amazing creatures.
