My parents went on a cruise to Jamaica, Port of Prince, and Haiti... I wanted to see this to see some of what they experienced... they went river rafting.... Memories...
I grew up in Jamaica in the late 1950's and early 60's. It is a beautiful island with beautiful people. The narrator really irked me by referring to Ocho Rios as Ochos Rios. There was even a graphic with the same incorrect spelling. Apparently the producers failed to notice the actual road signs with Ocho Rios on them. I've never been back since I left. I would like to return one day.
Greetings from Jamaica Mr.Martin. You would be pleasantly surprised if you should return. The island has developed in many ways but one has to be careful due to incidents of crime. The areas where tourism is concentrated are somewhat safer though. I too feel disappointed to see a narrator whose voice I am very familiar with giving so many pieces of misinformation. I have no choice but to be dubious regarding other videos that he has done about other locations.
Wow, I don't know what this guy is talking about. I don't think he's even been to Jamaica, he's writing about what he read or heard. Has he ever been to Jamaica? I've been visiting Jamaica since the early 1980s and I've been all over the island and never had a problem with crime. I was born and raised in Washington D.C. in the U.S. and I've been held up with a gun, had my house robbed and my car broken into too many times to tell. But I've never had any problems walking the streets of Kingston, Ochi or Negril. I'm hoping that in ten more years I can retire to Jamaica and never have to come back to the U.S. I think that guy is just some troll trying to start lies and arguments on-line about some place he really has never experienced or been to. One love my Jamaican people. Big ups from Washington D.C.!
Jamaica has it issues but some people blow it up out of all proportion. America destabilised its economy and flooded the island with guns in the 70's/early 80's, but the people are friendly, strong, resilient and progress is being made.
At 27:11 into the video the narrator informs us that in "1974 Erroll Flynn fell in love" with [Jamaiaca] and bought Navy Island. This would have been a little bit difficult since Flynn died in 1959! It's far more likely that he purchased the island in the late 40's or early 50's. The whole video makes one wonder if they did any research whatsoever!
I TRULY enjoyed watching and llisten their CHURCHES SERVICES AND CHURCH FUNCTIONS AND CHURCHES GOSPEL SINGING. They really can sing. They DEFINITELY KNOW how to pray PRAYERS. I watch their churches SERVICES and LISTENING TO their singing GOSPEL SONGS AND playing musical INSTRUMENTS. May the LORD RICHLY BLESS all of them AND each ONE OF THEM in EVERY ASPECTS OF their lives. I am PRAYING PRAYERS FOR EVERYBODY in the Caribbean Islands of JAMAICA, INCLUDING EVERYBODY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, REGARDLESS. John 3 : 16
The date associated with Errol Flynn is incorrect. I was still in school when Errol Flynn and is wife of the time (Patricia Wymore) had their yacht "The Zacca" which was on dry dock (Belmont Dry Dock) in Kingston. I am 76 so work out the maths.
What a beautiful, interesting and still largely unspoiled and authentic islands. Real shame that it has become so dangerous. And I had no idea there were crocodiles in Jamaica.
Wow. How old is this footage and narration? Took me back decades! Somewhat nice to see (older) Jamaica but could do without some of the condescending remarks.
The goats take the landscape for granted? This guy is speaking from his derriere. He is however promoting the beauty of Jamaica so I won't fight with him. I can't help hearing his pride in slavery and justification of Europeans creating a robust economy based on slave labour.. in disguise he celebrates his ancestors conquest with pride as he pretends that he is any different from his friends and family.. If he looks hard enough he will find the garrison he speaks of under his mothers dress, the long ones once worn by the british elites. There are no garrison in Jamaica only areas which wicked people make that way to keep black people in poverty. The music is so depressing that if he is trying to add ambiance it has failed miserably. But prejudice, bad music, and horrible misinformation will not detract from the beauty of Jamaica so I say thanks to this man for making this video.
SO EXCITED I AM GOING TO JAMAICA WHEN I AM 15 BUT,I AM 13 RIGHT NOW 2 MORE YEARS ALMOST THERE.WELL ME AND MY 18 YEAR OLD SISTER IS COMING WITH ME BUT SHE IS GOING TO BE 20 WHEN I AM 15. SO THERES ANY EDVICE WHAT TO DO THERE OR WHAT PLACES TO GO ECT.
Try YS Falls that is located in St Elizabeth. Ocho Rios(St. Anns) Is worth your time. Kool Runnings in Negril. Those were some places I went and they were amazing! I stayed at a hotel called Riu Hotel in St Anns, There's also one in Monetgo Bay and another in Negril. Beaches in Boscobel is magnificent too!
I am a Jamaican..... born and bred here. Your date that Columbus discovered Jamaica is incorrect! Listen to date you give when seeing Columbus Park in video.... LOL ! Columbus landed in Jamaica - Discovery Bay (although this location is debated) on May 4, 1494 on his second visit to the New World. Also you left out a lot about Port Royal.... once considered the richest and wickedest little 'city' in the world from all the looting of gold by pirates etc..... Most of Port Royal sank in the great earthquake and resulting tsunami that happened on June 7, 1692.
Michael Demus Jamaicans come in all colors - hence our motto 'out of many one people'..... perhaps you have never been to our country and do not know that!
The narrator needed to get his facts and pronunciation straight.Reggae music should have been used.There are no alligators in Jamaica.These are crocodiles(American crocodiles"
No alligators are in Jamaica These are American crocodiles and Columbus came to Jamaica in 1494 on his second voyage.The statue in Kingston is not Micheal Manley but his father Norman.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
When was this documentary done? Jamaica looks nothing like that now. and slaves didn't seek solace in Christianity after being taken to the Island. They were beaten and killed if they didn't renounce their African heritage and embrace Christianity and all other forms of imperialism. I'm a History teacher and Researcher, these are facts.
Columbus came to Jamiaica in 1494, 2 years after he left America. Obviously the information that people are getting is all wrong. St. Ann's is where he landed. There is a monument constructed in his name. Not that Columbus really discovered S__t! The Arawak Indians are the original inhabitants of this beautiful island. People please know your history before trying to school other people. Bob Marley says - If you Don't know your history then you don't know where your coming from! !!!! WEll put Bob.
Hi Blake. Jamaicans are many races. Although we are predominantly African. I am mixed with African and European blood but I have full blooded Chinese and East Indian friends from Jamaica. However unlike America where people say African- American or Irish-American we just call ourselves Jamaican. We do not hyphenate or separate our culture as we consider ourselves exclusively Jamaican. Our motto is "Out of one, many people"
Even after including tourists there aren't many other races other than blacks. Its just people in most dark skinned countries like to call them mixed and prefer to call themselves brown which all looks black to me.
Jamaica is many races all mixed together. You could think differently however depending on where you visited in Jamaica. For instances if you visit areas like South St.Elizabeth ( places like Junction, Southfield, Treasure beach etc.) you will find a large concentration of " white looking" people. On the other hand areas places like Westmoreland and parts of Clarendon have a large concentration of "Indian looking" people and Chinese looking people are intersperse. Note I say " white looking" "Indian looking" "Chinese looking" because it's important to understand that Jamaicans are just Jamaicans and we really don't care much about race.
Jamaica is a very beautiful Country. I love jamaican music. I'm also from the Caribbean, im from the Island of Cuba. Long live the Caribbean Nations.
want to visit cuba so badly, only 90 miles from us. wanna learn some spanish too
Jamaicans love Cuba
I'm from Scotland and i enjoy traveling to Jamaica, it's my favorite place out of all the other islands.
Lovely history.
My parents went on a cruise to Jamaica, Port of Prince, and Haiti... I wanted to see this to see some of what they experienced... they went river rafting.... Memories...
I go to Jamaica almost every year and enjoy myself, haven't seen the danger
Jamaica was really nice in the 90's and early 00's.
Still is
I think this is a wonderful video highlighting such beauty of Jamaica .

You right but i was born down there and the crime is getting worse since i left in 2005
Jamaica has it issues but some people blow it up out of all proportion. America destabilised its economy and flooded the island with guns in the 70's/early 80's, but the people are friendly, strong, resilient and progress is being made.
Have you heard the latest news? Jamaica has the second highest number of murders in the world. What a shame such a lovely place.
My home I miss it so much

Lived on this beautiful island for 20 years. So much misinformation...you're better off just watching the video and ignoring the narrator.
You are so right he knows nothing about Jamaica
My sentiments exactly

Here's some advice don't ride coaster buses they r weird and be use to random dogs begging for ur leftovers its natural so give them some food
Try to visit YS Falls while you are there and also Fairy Hill in Port Antonio
Susie Warmington you are going to love the place like i do.....safe travels
Try YS Falls that is located in St Elizabeth. Ocho Rios(St. Anns) Is worth your time. Kool Runnings in Negril. Those were some places I went and they were amazing! I stayed at a hotel called Riu Hotel in St Anns, There's also one in Monetgo Bay and another in Negril. Beaches in Boscobel is magnificent too!
No mention of who built Devon House!
❤❤❤❤
Not too accurate but don’t forget that he is not a Jamaican historian but still give him👍no one is perfect
Can you make a travel guide about the Dominican Republic, please?
Yes it has drugs and those stuff but every other country has that but jamaica is still a beautiful country. Don't judge a book by it's cover .
Tudo bem tio paulo😇😇😇🤍❣❤
Question: why use 1970's coverage for a 2013 post?? Come on! I'll take an all expenses paid trip for you, to update for your viewers...I'm serious!
So patronizing right?
I am a Jamaican..... born and bred here. Your date that Columbus discovered Jamaica is incorrect! Listen to date you give when seeing Columbus Park in video.... LOL !

You don't look Jamaican
a white jamaican very rare
Michael Demus Jamaicans come in all colors - hence our motto 'out of many one people'..... perhaps you have never been to our country and do not know that!

why cause mi seh love beatiful JAMAICA
God morning in marilia
The narrator needed to get his facts and pronunciation straight.Reggae music should have been used.There are no alligators in Jamaica.These are crocodiles(American crocodiles"
jeniah
Nuff incorrect info...but hey. We get the point
Shilo M Evans LOL this video was seemingly filmed in the 90s. People on paid phones and Ladas everywhere :)
Columbus said it was the most beautiful country he saw. But half of its youth want to leave the country for better life abroad.
didn't Jacob marley come from here?
Not a great video for correct info but at least the film footage is pretty :)
Video made a factual error, as this channel often does. Harry Belafonte was born in New York, not Jamaica.
Cristiano Araújo,adoro as músicas e ele também 🦈🐡🐠🐧🐄🐄🐄🐷🐷🐷🍓🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍌🥑🍆
Wish they had done more research before putting this out. So much miss information . Error Flynn was not around in 1974..
Jamaican love. the Cuban. Because. in Jamaica. their is a lot of. Cuban living. their and very. soon Jamaican will. stated to speak Spanish
Very beatiful and interesting Your English can be umdertood by us Thnks 0322 RoumaniaGood luvck
Hay Paulo how are you
No alligators are in Jamaica These are American crocodiles and Columbus came to Jamaica in 1494 on his second voyage.The statue in Kingston is not Micheal Manley but his father Norman.🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Bjs ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Black river has no alligators. It has American crocodiles
Very five
demar Simpson mi qwaan back next year
nice video better than the zinc fench and rasta man as if that's all about jamaica
Oh my goodness. Did he just say "Fowl Mouth" as the pronunciation for Falmouth. Lol
Oh yes he did!!! My goodness!!
The music in this video is absolutely awful. In fact, it's awfulness is inversely proportional to the coolness which is Jamaica.
U said ocho rios wrong its ocho rios not ochos rios
Dia da padroeira aparecida....
why steel band music. that's not jamaican music
No way I'd stay in the Big house..
Jamaica is not in north america, is in the caribbean in front of central america.
hey
its 1492 columus discovered the island not 1502
Novena 🍍🍌🍋🍊🍉🍈🍇
Crocodiles!

What race are Jamaicans are they Indian African
Hi Blake. Jamaicans are many races. Although we are predominantly African. I am mixed with African and European blood but I have full blooded Chinese and East Indian friends from Jamaica. However unlike America where people say African- American or Irish-American we just call ourselves Jamaican. We do not hyphenate or separate our culture as we consider ourselves exclusively Jamaican. Our motto is "Out of one, many people"
Mostly african. With everything else mixed
African blacks
Even after including tourists there aren't many other races other than blacks. Its just people in most dark skinned countries like to call them mixed and prefer to call themselves brown which all looks black to me.
