Join us to witness a spectacular sunrise in the mountains as we hike the Blue Mountain Peak in Jamaica! On this unique trek, we’ll ascend a steep craggy path in the pitch black of the night, walk past lush tree ferns and colorful wildflowers and enjoy amazing vistas of the morning sky!

Located near Kingston, the Blue Mountain Peak (2,256m) is the highest peak of the Blue Mountain range. This mountain range is popular among explorers for trekking and camping activities. And did you know it houses one of the most exotic coffees in the world, the Blue Mountain Coffee?

We’ll begin this trek at 2 AM when it is still dark. Using our flashlights, we’ll venture on a rugged path. It is a 7-mile hike to the top and takes about 4 hours.

We’ll hear intriguing sounds of nocturnal animals as we tread. Heading on a steep narrow path called Jacob’s Ladder, we’ll witness a spectacular view of the star-studded sky. We’ll stride through a dense forest to reach the peak just in time for the sunrise.

And once you reach the top, you’ll be exhilarated! The sun emerges from behind the soaring peaks, the sky turns yellowish-red, providing a stunning view! On the north lies Buff Bay and Port Antonio’s Navy Island and on the south falls Kingston and St Thomas’ coast. You’ll also have a hazy view of Cuba from here!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
