Highlights
The central feature of this natural attraction is the large labyrinthine limestone cave with its numerous rock formations, its stalactites, stalagmites and abundance of overhead ceiling pockets. Your guide will explain the rich history of the caves, telling the story of the people who have used the caves for various purposes over the years. The discovery of cave paintings, tools and fragments of pottery indicate that the original inhabitants of the caves were the Taino Indians who would have used the caves for shelter. The next known inhabitants were the Spanish who, at the time of the British invasion of Jamaica (1655), hid in the caves to avoid capture. There is an underground tunnel which links the caves to the sand at Runaway bay. It is believed that the Spanish used the tunnel in their attempt escape the Island and flee to Cuba. Runaway slaves have also used the caves to hide from their former masters.

About Montego Bay
Montego Bay, on Jamaica's northwest coast, is the island's best-known resort town, with reef-fringed beaches, rum-fuelled nights and green hills behind.
The beaches along the Hip Strip, as Gloucester Avenue is known, are the centre of seaside life, with clear water, bars and craft stalls, and Doctor's Cave Beach has drawn bathers for generations. Offshore, the Montego Bay Marine Park protects coral reefs and seagrass beds that reward snorkelling and glass-bottom boat trips.
