Operated by rsjamtour · Nine Mile, Saint Ann
A low-slung minivan hums out of Montego Bay before dawn, the coastline melting behind it and the road folding into green hills. By the time the van climbs into St. Ann’s interior, the air cools and the sound of the sea gives way to birds and the distant rattle of motorbikes. Arriving in Nine Mile, visitors step onto a shaded compound where the simple concrete house, the Marley mausoleum, and hand-painted murals mark the life and legacy of Bob Marley.
