The peak travel time for Jamaica is from December to April. Once you get to Jamaica, there will be a bounty of things to do and see. Snorkeling, scuba diving, shopping, or sitting on your own secluded beach are just a few things that come to mind. If you tire of those things then try backpacking, horseback riding, and cycling. Then take a nap on the beach.
