Package Details
This is not a 5-star hotel vacation, but a valuable and fun learning experience. This spring break vacation package is designed for those who want to spend a week or two exploring a new country, meeting new people, and making a lasting impact. You’ll live like a local by staying with a Jamaican family in an air-conditioned shared dorm room with free Wi-Fi, cable TV with Netflix, and hot water.
The trips are hosted and guided by Jomo Barnett, the co-founder of Jamaica International Projects, who provides a safe and authentic experience. The packages are all-inclusive, covering your accommodation, daily meals, airport transfers, and all excursions from the moment you arrive in Kingston. You’ll enjoy a variety of delicious Jamaican and international dishes, with all dietary needs catered to, including vegan, allergies, or any other preferences.
