The long trip to Nine Mile from Ocho Rios is worth every second and every dollar. You get to see the real Jamaica. The scenery on the way is absolutely gorgeous. I went with the Zion Bus tour. The guide gave lots of information about Bob Marley and sights along the way. The bus stops for meat patties (and of... more

I was fortunate enough to set foot on the property Bob Marley once called home! I must say, I now feel a deeper connection to this man and his music after setting foot here. The scenery across the hills, coupled with the 'Rasta' atmosphere, makes this a worthy half day trip! My fiance and I negotiated a price of $120/US... more

Robert Nesta Marley's mausoleum is a MUST visit while in Jamaica. The tour guides are so friendly and Mount Zion helps to provide a spiritual experience. 9 Mile satisfied my soul! I will be going back! more

Amazing!! This place truely is. We left Negril very early to go and visit 9 Mile, it was a very long journey but every mile was worth it. The drive itself was lovely it was great to see a lot of the island which is beautiful. We entered the compound through the huge purple gates which were locked behind us.... more

I was there on Bob Marley's birthday 2/6/07 (2nd visit). I had the best time ever! I arrived 430ish via private cab from Runaway Bay. The mood was festive, although the band had left, the African Drummers were playing. I sat in the restaurant, looking at the beauty all around me, and drank a Red Stipe as I waited to... more

This is a must see for any Marley fans. The tour guides are great, especially the laugh. I was surprised to learn that contrary to what my Lonely Planet book said the guides are only paid about $20 a week and really survive on their tips. I recommend sitting down and getting to know them, they have some great stories... more

Nine Miles is a great trip! You arrive at these 30' high purple wooden gates. The Rastaman opens the gate just enough for the driver to enter the compound and locks the gates behind us. The moment you get out of the car you are greeted by a Rastaman who states clearly that the laws are different inside these walls.... more
