Indeed, you can combine your love of history with other tourist delights such as shopping, amusement park visits and sightseeing tours, with your resort stay at The Aqueducts of Negril.
Take Kingston for example; the city offers some marvelous delights including architectural grandeur and a historical mineral bath at Rockfort, that takes you back in time. All this becomes even more alluring when coupled with the fantastic gastronomic offerings of the city.
Another town, nearby to Negril is Black River, one of the first places in the Western Hemisphere to get electricity and a motor car, which is also complimented by gastronomic offerings of peppered shrimp at nearby Middle Quarters and fried fish bammies at Border. Also steeped in history is the old English town of Falmouth which is laced with centuries-old buildings. These can be visited on a half day to full-day trip.
The Negril Concierge will work with you to streamline your heritage tours, to suit your tastes.
Your wish is our command.
