Kingston → Holywell: key facts

Getting from Kingston Airport (KIN) to Holywell takes about 1h 5min by car on an empty road (65–85 min in heavy traffic) over 38 km via Norbrook - Woodford Road and Norman Manley Highway / Palisadoes Road. Our private transfer costs €65 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €95 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the Arrivals Ground Transportation Hall, the hall you reach after passport control and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Holywell is a forest park high in the Blue Mountains north of Kingston, about 38 km from the airport by road. The route crosses the city to Papine at the foot of the hills, then climbs the narrow Gordon Town road and the switchbacks past Irish Town and Newcastle to Hardwar Gap. The last part is steep and winding, with one-lane stretches, so the drive takes more than an hour despite the short distance.

Holywell sits at around 900 metres in the Blue and John Crow Mountains National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has short walking trails, picnic areas and viewpoints over Kingston and the harbour, and it is noticeably cooler than the city. Irish Town, with small hotels and cafes, lies a few kilometres below on the same road, and Newcastle, a hill station of the Jamaica Defence Force, is passed just before the park. Coffee farms line the slopes in the area.

Public transport: No public bus runs from the airport to Holywell, and no official timetable for public transport into the Blue Mountains was found; the nearest JUTC services end in Papine at the foot of the hills.
