Night settles along Jamaica’s north coast and the road to Rose Hall narrows to moonlit palms and the hum of air-conditioned transport. The tour begins with a candle-lit walk through Rose Hall Great House, where guides narrate the life and legends of Annie Palmer — the so-called White Witch — and the colonial sugar-plantation history that shaped this stretch of coastline. The rooms feel lived-in by story: portraits watch, stairwell wood creaks, and local lore gives the house a restless presence.
