Driving in the Blue Mountains

Which way is best? A Blue Mountain adventure.

Another question often asked by guests is – which is the best route to Lime Tree? The easiest and shortest journey time is to pass through Kingston, (Papine) on to Gordon Town and follow the road to Mavis Bank. Traveling from the West  or the North coast, this is the most logical route. From Portland there are other options. Taking the B1 from Buff Bay and cutting through the mountains via Irish Town is a very pretty drive, though very twisty and will take longer. From Portland, driving around the Eastern tip of the island and along the south coast there is access turning off at Morant Bay or Yallus. This is the adventurous route,  you will need a vehicle with good clearance, preferably 4 wheel drive and it is a much longer journey time. Beware of GPS or  Satnav ‘advice’, this can be a little misleading. We are always happy to answer any inquiries re routing or travel times.
