“I travel not to go anywhere but to go. I travel for travel's sake.” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
The first time I visited Portland, I suddenly became attached to it. I would go back every chance I get. There is never a dull moment in Portland because there are so many things to discover. Each time I go to Portland, I’ll find something different and fun to fall head over heels in love.
Frenchman's Cove was the first fantastic place I visited in Portland and I was so excited to go back and discover the hidden gems of the parish. If you follow me on Instagram, you already know I have a weakness for Portland. I could not make another Saturday pass without satisfying my desire to explore Monkey Island. See why I am so head over heels for Portland. Getting to Portland was easy because I go almost every Saturday. The Junction route is the best because of the fantastic scenery. When I arrived at Blue Lagoon, I decided to explore the island via raf,t which costs $5,000 Jamaican Dollars. The price varies. It depends on the raft captain and how well you can negotiate.

Absorbing all this beauty
She is always ready for an adventure.
Monkeys no longer exist on the island. It is simple to walk across a certain point because of the breadth of water dividing the island from the mainland, which is not rooted.

The island is fantastic. It is circled by sturdy sea grass beds, and it's great for swimming. There is a beautiful scene of the coast, a section for diving, and a shaded beach.
The island is located at one end of a coral reef which guards San San Bay.
Locals and foreigners visit by raft, boat, snorkel at a close-by reef, relaxing on a small beach and relish the stunning surrounding. Monkey island is just a couple of minutes away from Blue Lagoon. Rafting to Monkey Island and seeing the spectacular views made my heart skip so many beats. I wish I could stay in Portland forever
