Before you touch down in the land of wood and water, here are a few must-know travel tips:
1. Entry Requirements
If you’re coming from the U.S., Canada, or the UK, you don’t need a visa to enter Jamaica for stays under 90 days. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date and the same goes for African countries like Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Zambia.
2. Complete the Online C5 Form
Before arriving in Jamaica, all travelers—including residents and visitors—must complete the online Passenger Declaration (C5) form. You can fill this out at enterjamaica.gov.jm. Don’t wait until the last minute—do this at least 24 hours before your flight.
3. Currency Tips
The official currency is the Jamaican Dollar (JMD), but U.S. dollars are widely accepted—especially in tourist areas like Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril. However, you get more bang for your buck with Jamaican Dollars. Avoid exchanging at the airports and yes, ATMs are also widely available.
4. Cash or Card?
Well, it’s always good to carry small amounts of cash for small purchases and tipping. Most major hotels, restaurants, and shops accept cards (Visa and Mastercard are best), but cash is still king.
5. Airport Transfer
Round trip airport shuttle transfer from the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay will be provided by Half Moon's authorized ground handler, Jamaica Tours Limited. The transportation cost is $25.00 per person and is billed to your individual room accounts.
6. Getting Around
If you’re not renting a car, use official taxis with red license plates only as those are designated public passenger vehicles or arrange private transfers in advance with your hotel or tour company. Uber is also available.
7. Go Beyond the Resort
Yes, the resorts are beautiful—but please leave the property at least once! Go see Jamaica. Try authentic jerk chicken, explore local waterfalls, party on a catamaran, check out a dancehall street party! Jamaica is full of culture, history, flavor. Nuff vibes. Trust me! Tek it from a yaadie!
And a BONUS TIP
Respect the local culture. Us Jamaicans are warm and welcoming, and wi tek pride inna wi culture. So when you see us, be polite and say “Good morning” or “Good evening” or better yet, greet us wid a “Wah gwaan” and we’ll give you all the love.
