The Best Time of Year to Visit Jamaica, Caribbean Islands

Traveling does something to ignite your soul on fire and while it’s one of the things that everyone “wants to do” a lot of people simply never do it. If you are considering a getaway, we strongly encourage you to not let ANYTHING stand in your way. The daily grind can cause tension and stress and the perfect way to unwind from all that is to jump on a plane and head to the Caribbean’s number one beach destination, Jamaica.

Much needed rest, relaxing and rejuvenating of your soul will be easy to do on this stunning island. And with a tropical climate, there really is no bad time to travel to Jamaica. Whether you are traveling with your family, planning a romantic trip where you can propose or even for a destination wedding, we have some great ideas to “experience” the true magic of this beautiful island.

Weather in Jamaica

Jamaica technically has four seasons, two rainy seasons (May to June & September to November) and two dry seasons (July to August & December to April). Most will say that the best time to visit Jamaica is from November to mid-December. This is because the weather is amazing (ranging from mid-70’s to high 80’s) and you can find some great travel deals because you are traveling before their peak season. 

We can also make a great argument for traveling during rainy seasons. There are fantastic travel deals and discounts, rivers and waterfalls will be full, and everything will be a vibrant green. A great idea is to find a local Jamaican photographer for hire to capture all your escapades while you enjoy the local cuisine, culture, and natural wonders. A little rain never hurt anyone so if you like to white water raft or love to see nature in lush green colors, traveling in a rainy season might be for you!

Fun Things To Do in Jamaica During Rainy Season?

Explore Majestic Dunn’s River Falls with Your Personal Photographer

Montego Bay is one of the most beautiful parts of the island and features a stunning natural wonder of the world, the Dunn’s River Falls. This by far is one thing that has to be on your bucket list. You can take a day tour that will take you hiking up the falls (YES! you get in the water and climb up the raging waters to the top of the falls), chill at the beach or go tubing down thrilling river rapids. Once you get to the top you will be met with incredible views that having a professional photographer in Jamaica can capture for you to remember. Your private photographer in Jamaica can also snap photos of your climb up the falls. Talk about some Insta-worthy photos!

Take Some Pictures While Swimming with the Dolphins

The best time to swim with the dolphins is on a rainy day because, hey you’re already wet so the rain won’t be too bothersome.  

Take Your Private Photographer to the Appleton Rum Distillery

Another great idea is to take a trip to the Appleton Rum Distillery. This tour is indoors so you don’t have to worry about the rain. If you hired an affordable photographer in Jamaica, you want to take them with you on this tour. Snapping shots of you sampling this tasty rum on an estate that dates back to 1749 are memories to cherish a lifetime.

And hey, it is a great place for an engagement photographer in Jamaica to capture your proposal on film. 

Book Your Catamaran Tour

A visit to Jamaica is not complete unless you have experienced a catamaran tour. Lively music, snorkeling, and sipping on rum while sailing on the most picture-perfect crystal blue waters.

Fun Photo Snapped During Carnival

A tradition in the Caribbean culture, carnival is an explosion of decorative costumes, feathers, floats, headdresses, and loud calypso music. Any photographer in Kingston, Jamaica. If you love a good time with tons of people frolicking in the streets, dancing and chanting to the calypso tunes then schedule your Jamaican visit around Easter. There are many different carnivals, throughout different parts of the country, but no matter where you choose to stay, witnessing (or taking part in) a carnival parade is an experience unlike any other!
