I was there on Bob Marley's birthday 2/6/07 (2nd visit). I had the best time ever! I arrived 430ish via private cab from Runaway Bay. The mood was festive, although the band had left, the African Drummers were playing. I sat in the restaurant, looking at the beauty all around me, and drank a Red Stipe as I waited to... more

This is a must see for any Marley fans. The tour guides are great, especially the laugh. I was surprised to learn that contrary to what my Lonely Planet book said the guides are only paid about $20 a week and really survive on their tips. I recommend sitting down and getting to know them, they have some great stories... more

Nine Miles is a great trip! You arrive at these 30' high purple wooden gates. The Rastaman opens the gate just enough for the driver to enter the compound and locks the gates behind us. The moment you get out of the car you are greeted by a Rastaman who states clearly that the laws are different inside these walls.... more

We hired a driver for the afternoon to visit Bob Marleys house, it was a truly amazing time, from the moment you step foot in the place you feel 'something' not to sure but it feels good. Our guide was Fuzzy, and he was just the best, he sung Bobs songs when he was telling us about him, i believe... more

I went to Nine Miles in May 2000 with a group of friends and we spent the whole day there. It was a day spent with the Rasta brethren where we were told about Bob Marley and given an insight into the Rasta way of life. Our guide was a deeply knowledgeable gentleman called Ras Donovan. He gave our group... more

What an expierence! My husband and I really did not know what to expect when we decided to take this trip. The one reason we did, is because we had heard that there were "ganja" fields there and I really wanted to see these fields. We hired a driver from our hotel - Oscar Brown. He took us and another... more
