The drive to get up here is longer than the entire tour. I am not sure what I was expecting I just thought there would be more. You have to wait in the new bar for your tour guide and are herded out throught the gift shop after you are asked if you want something else to drink and jerk... more

My husband and I visited Nine Mile on Oct 13, 2009 and were lucky to get Capt. Crazy as our guide. We took a private Juta bus from Breezes Runaway Bay. The drive took about 2 hours. It's worth it to see the landscape and the real Jamaica. Browns Town, about halfway, will give most people an idea of how... more

Well, after 22 years of journey's to Jamaica, we finally took the long and winding road to visit Bob Marley and his Mom's resting place. Unfortunately, it has turned into a major tourist trap. I was hoping for some Marley tunes to be playing throughoutt the property and some Twelve Tribes Rasta to teach us some history in a very... more

Cant imagine a trip to Jamaica without a visit to 9 mile, the birthplace of Bob Nesta Marley. Amazing! It is a long drive about an hour and a half from Ocho Rios but well worth it. The views once up in the mountains take your breath away. At 9 mile you spend about an hour guided through Bob Marleys... more

This is invaluable if you are a Bob Marley Fan. Nine Mile is the place that Bob grew up. The guides are awesome and give you so much history and context for enjoying Bob's music. You also get to see Bob's tomb, which is 6 feet above ground because they believe that he is a prophet. more

My girlfriend and I went to 9 Mile on Jan 5th and had the most amazing time of our lives. We took the Zion Bus from Ocho Rios Jamaica and the trip took about 2 hours all the way up. The views are amazing and getting to see the real Jamaica versus the tourist resorts on the beach is a... more

We had done the Zion bus 3 years ago and it was a much more enjoyable trip at that time. The road was terribly bumpy this time around, so much so that you would bounce up and out of your seat. My husband's back and mine were very sore after the trip. The tour guide at Nine Mile was not... more

This is a trip that we will not soon forget. Chukka offers two ways to do the tour, the Zion Bus and the 4 x 4. We picked the bus. It was incredible. The bus was all done up in bright colors and pics and they played Bob and other raggae music to and from Nine Mile. Also, on the... more
