looking for company on a trip from Negril to Kingston to go to Hope rd and other stuf

No problem....yes there are tours to just about everything these days but you do have to look a little harder sometimes because most tours do originate from Ochi or MoBay

Have fun!

I looked into doing this on my last trip but since I was there for only 6 days and most of those were Holiday's it didn't work out.

One idea I did have which I might try this next trip is renting a car yourself, then possibly hiring someone to just come along that knows the way? Or if you know anyone there that would go along, unless you don't feel comfortable driving. I wouldn't mind driving as long as someone else was with me that knew the way and could remind me to stay on the LEFT side of the road. lol.

This past July we drove from Kingston to Negril along the south coast, and I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is new to driving in Jamaica. I have driven from MoBay to Portland round trip once and from Kingston to Portland round trip. And, on our last trip from MoBay to Portland then to Kingston, and then on to Negril via the south coast which was the worst leg to drive. From Mandeville to Negril is riddled with potholes and quite a bit of truck traffic on two lane road that at times seemed quite small for it to be the main road.

The next time we drive from Kingston to Negril, we will probably try the A1 through Bog walk and then across the north coast. The whole north coast road from Negril to Port Antonio is in excellent shape and an easy drive for the beginner. And, it's really hard to forget to stay on the left when your driving on the "wrong" side of the car. The only time I got mixed up was in Port Antonio and there were a bunch of cars parked on the right side of the road facing the same way I was going.
