Discover Runaway Bay: Excursions

Have fun and pay tribute to the King of Reggae

Runaway Bay is world-famous for its natural beauty and freedom of spirit. Situated on the north shore of Jamaica, this community is tightly-knit, friendly, and welcoming. Like the rest of Jamaica, Runaway Bay is full of reggae culture and musical inspiration with lots of things to do. If you are a true Bob Marley fan, visit Nine Mile to pay your respects to the international icon. Later, get comfy on Ocean View Beach, rum cocktail in hand, and go for a swim in the ocean waves.

Looking for some adventure? Drive a Jeep and explore the rugged countryside of Jamaica, with all of its vast jungle and rich vegetation. Head out to the sea and check out the coral reef walls and come face-to-face with tropical fish, tiny shrimp, crabs, and maybe even eagle rays!

Amstar Insider Tip

Let's turn your vacation into something more!

Rum tasting with a local twist! While many visitors associate rum tastings with big distilleries, the real gem in Runaway Bay is finding a small, local bar or rum shack where the owner lets you sample different Jamaican rums straight from the bottle—no frills, just flavor. Ask for overproof, coconut-infused, or even homemade blends, and you’ll often get a story with every sip. These places aren’t on maps, but your hotel staff or a local taxi driver will know exactly where to take you. It’s a true taste of Jamaican hospitality—with a buzz!
