The morning opens with a cool, humid breath as the van climbs into Jamaica’s interior and the trees tighten around the road. At Cool Blue Hole the limestone sinkhole sits like a deep jewel; water calls and dares you to jump, swing, or slip beneath a cave lip. Later the White River arrives: slow current, warm water and a lazy float that lets the hills write the pace.
