This is Not Your Typical Jamaica Trip

Forget the beach chair - well maybe not completely - but for a day. 

Hike through rural towns with over 500+ locals, taste the food and dance to rhythms that belong to the land - not the resort pool.  ​

This is the Jamaica that stays with you long after your tan fades.

If Jamaica has been on your list, this is not the trip you've seen before and that's exactly the point.

This curated journey is designed for travelers who want to feel Jamaica, not just photograph it. We go beyond the resort gates, past the tourist overlooks, and into the real heartbeat of the island -  its people, its food, its rhythm, and its pride.

The centerpiece of this experience is a community hike through rural Jamaican towns with over 500 local participants, organized by TrainFit Club. Alongside that, you'll enjoy the comfort of an all-inclusive resort stay, dance hall and traditional dance classes, and an afternoon at a secret waterfall tucked into the Jamaican countryside - the kind of place you have to be invited to find.
