The wife and I are heading to Port Antonio this fall. We've never been to this part of the Island and we're looking forward to it. I know a good driver; one that is familiar with the area, the people and the vendors is key. Any recommendations on a local go to wingman? Thanks in advance.
Kemar and Warren McKenzie are brothers in the area that I highly recommend. Priced well and trustworthy.

Actually there are a lot of red plate drivers. But they generally park at the taxi stand and load up before traveling the route. Where in Negril, they drive up and down looking for passengers. I rode with about 3 but only saved the information for the gentleman below..
This is a JUTA tour driver I hired when I was in Port Antonio earlier this month.

He's very reliable and professional. I had to be at the bus before 6:45 AM. He was at my hotel at 6:15 and it only takes 5 minutes to get to there. He has a really nice van and just loves driving tourist around. He's been doing it for years. He really impressed me.
Thanks *vi*. BTW I've read all your posts and have seen your pictures. They were both very helpful when deciding; where do we want to visit next? We really can't wait.
bigbamboo, I'm glad my posts helped in some way. I'm also happy more people are considering Portland. The things I write and the pictures I post don't come close to revealing the true beauty and vibe of that part of Jamaica. And now with Knutsford bus going there, making it affordable for a 1 or 2 nite sneek-in, I'm hoping more would experience Portland for themselves. ENJOY!!
