Green Grotto Caves, Runaway Bay, Caribbean Here you will discover cave paintings, tools and fragments of pottery that indicates the original inhabitants of the caves were the Taino Indians who would have used the caves for shelter.
The next known inhabitants were the Spanish who, at the time of the British invasion of Jamaica (in 1655), hid in the caves to avoid capture. There is an underground tunnel which links the caves to the sand at Runaway Bay. It is believed that the Spanish used the tunnel in their attempt to escape the Island and flee to Cuba. Runaway slaves have also used the caves to hide from their former masters. During World War 2, Rum barrels were stored here for safekeeping by the Jamaican Government. 90 minutes

Excellent service for the whole trip. A driver picked us up on time at our hotel and drove directly to the caves answering our questions and offering interesting information about the local area. Once there allowed time for pictures, and presented us with our tickets to get in, no waiting in line. The cave tour was excellent! The guide was very knowledgeable and funny. The caves are easy to walk around, nice boardwalks and paths. Enjoyed the little bats and all the history surrounding the caves. If you enjoy nature and the natural beauty of an areas landscape come and see the caves.
