The spelling of “Jamaica” was not standardized until well after the English conquest. Englishmen wrote the word as it sounded: thus we have Gemecoe, Gemegoe, Jamico, Jammaca and Mamecah. It was often spelled Xaymaca. The first map on which Jamaica appears was made by Bartolome Colombo, Christopher's younger brother, to illustrate the Admiral's fourth voyage. He spelled it Jamaicha.


Our plantation tours are sensual treats. Visit picturesque estates, brimming with famous crops like sugar cane, banana and coffee. Learn about their harvests and sample tasty tropical fruits.

Appleton Estate Rum Tour gives the visitor an inside look at the rum making process. Visitors watch resident donkey "Pax" demonstrate how juice was extracted from sugar cane in the 18th century.

Visitors are then able to juice their own cane, sample white rum and boil "wet sugar".
