Take a hike. The Blue Mountains are crisscrossed with hiking trails appropriate for varying skill levels. There are shorter trails if you'd rather have a nice easy stroll among the flora and fauna of the mountains, and longer ones if you prefer a more physically challenging hike.
See Blue Mountain Peak. At more than 7,400 feet, Blue Mountain Peak is the highest spot in Jamaica and a popular hiking destination. It's a long journey to the top, but the chance to enjoy the magnificent views of the island are well worth the effort. Novice hikers might want to think about hiring a guide or joining a tour group that's heading to the top. Many tours begin in the wee hours of the morning so that dawn is breaking as you reach the peak and visibility is at its best. On a clear day you can see all the way to Haiti and Cuba.
Take a biking tour. Blue Mountain Bicycle Tours offers a 17-mile tour through the Blue Mountains. Don't worry, it's downhill. Bikers begin at around 6,000 feet elevation and ride down to a waterfall where they can enjoy a well earned swim (see Resources below).
Tour a coffee plantation. See how the coffee beans are harvested and processed to make the aromatic drink for which the Blue Mountains are famous. Alex Twyman's Old Tavern Coffee Estate is one company that offers tours, provided arrangements are made in advance (see Resources below).
