Top Things to Do in Jamaica on Family Trips

By Teresa Plowright, About.com Guide

Jamaica is a popular spot for family getaways, thanks to its many all inclusive beach resorts. Be sure to expand your experiences beyond your resort! Mouseover the boxes below to check out zip-lining, bobsledding on a mountain coaster, a catamaran trip on Negril's beautiful coast, horse-riding, zip-lining, river adventures, Dunn's River waterfalls, dog-sledding..... Most activities are within day-trip distance of any of the main resort areas: Jamaica is only about 146 miles wide and 51 miles north-south (though road conditions and traffic may add time to your trip.)

But first, a word about those resorts families love so much...
