Amazing Experience and Authentic Local Culture

If you’re tired (or bored) of the typical tourists attractions, or you just want something a little more immersed in the local culture, please, PLEASE take the Roots and Reggae Bob Marley Experience with Omar from Island Kodesh Tours. What an amazing experience!!!! And Omar was an excellent tour guide. Do yourselves a favor. After you’ve finished swimming with the dolphins, climbing Dunns River, and jumping off the cliff in Rick’s Cafe, take a day trip to Kingston and experience some authentic Bob Marley reggae music history and local Jamaican culture.

Full Bob Marley experience

After our brilliant 9 Miles tour, Omar listened to our requests & tailor made a trip to Kingston for us. We went to Tuff Gong studios & had a private tour. The best experience. Onto Trenchtown for another private tour. Again, awesome. Finished at the Bob Marley museum. A totally perfect day for us, huge Bob fans. Thank you Omar
