In this video i had the pleasure of taking a tour with @onestopculturaltoursja whose name is Marie. She’s super knowledgeable and very professional. We went to catch the 98 bus heading to port Royal but fell short. After a cab ride we got to port Royal and explored this wonderful city. This city reminded me a lot of an island i had been to in Belize. Walking around port Royal is very easy to do and the area is small enough for you to explore. This place has so much history and most famously known for this being a safe haven for pirates long long ago. Another important event was the earthquake of June 7, 1692 which sunk 33 acres of port Royal.

@@lesmawatkins7020 thank you very much
Watching from the UK 🇬🇧This lady loves Jamaica 🇯🇲 you can hear it in her voice & the way she speaks about Jamaica♥️🤍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nah she really does she been here for like 20 years
Ahh. Thank you. I love Kingston, especially Downtown and somply want to dispel the negative perceptions about our Island. "We Likkle but we Tallawah" 🇯🇲 ❤
Yep,her whole ora exudes it
@@onestopculturaltoursjaI am a Jamaican living overseas ' who's returning this year.
I really want to meet with the Mayor to see how best we could work together in keeping the city cleaner and enhance the aesthetics of the city.I think the situation is solvable and I think I have the perfect solution.
Blessings 🙏
Thank for doing a blog on Port Royal. Port Royal holds such an important part of not just Jamaica’s history, but also the slave trade in the Americas. I
Yes it was a major hub
I don't think Port Royal have anything to do with slavery
PoJo out there with the people of the world just being himself. Chillin man
Love bro
Pojo, I admire your spirit. You have met the woman from Australia, this woman from the UK and just socialized. You talked with the natives, really cool .
Thank you for this kind comment
@@Happey67 "natives"kinda colonial still.
@@oneilchambers1938 i just call them locals lol no harm no foul
@@PoJoTheBackPacker You doing a really good Job bro. Just wish you had the opportunity to visit the South Coast before the hurricane.
@@oneilchambers1938 I’m not gunna lie to you. That’s the #1 reason i came back. I’m still enjoying myself and i think i will at least go to Negril. But i wanted to see savan la mar treasure beach .. there was an air b n b i found like in Aucindown and i thought that would be cool. But you know what. On a serious note. I’m still enjoying myself and guess what. That gives me ONE more reason to come back for another Jamaica trip 😂😂 think I’m playing just watch
Big up Marie! What a legend 🙌🏼
She did her ting
Ahh. Thank you, Jess. Like yourself, I simply want to dispel the negative perceptions about Kingston - the cultural mecca of Jamaica.
Love your authentic content brother 🙏🏾
Thank you for watching
Great vlog PJ. Nice to see Marie showing you around Port Royal. Will definitely recommend her for tours. Enjoy the rest of your time and stay safe.
Yes i will thank you for watching
Ahh. Thank you. I trained as a tour guide in order to offer visitors an authentic experience of Jamaica. There is more to Jamaica than all inclusive resorts and beaches. We have a rich culture, history, blue mountains, Maroon villages, amazing museums/galleries and hospitable people.
I enjoyed the walk through Port Royal!
Thank you for watching
Thank you. We loved Port Royal
PoJo you're having the time of your life in Port Royal. There's a lot of history. I'm glad the storm wasn't too fierce.❤
Thank you for watching yes I’m glad it wasn’t too bad it could have been really bad
I was there a month ago bro. I absolutely loved it. I’m from upstate NY. Big up bro!!! I love your videos. This makes me want to go back
@@rivasmusic5020 you should come back honestly whenever you get some time off on that next vaca… bring ya ahhh right back. 😂
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Yes sir, I’m going back next May. The island is beautiful and most importantly the people are amazing. I ate Akee and salt fish and Breadfruit every day. I hope to hit up Montego Bay and Negril next time.
Yes, you need to come back. There is so much to explore!!
I was hoping you would go in the giddy house….maybe next time you can check that out!
Ahhh sorry i was unware this was a thing
@@PoJoTheBackPackerit's a building that'leaning due to the earthquake. Did she tell you that a big chunk of the town is still underwater and there are limited diving tours?
@@PoJoTheBackPacker the Giddy House”. Half buried in sand and tilting at nearly 45 degrees, the Giddy House is one of the few remaining relics of the 1907 Kingston earthquake which shook the capital of the island of Jamaica, and destroyed the former “sin city” of Port Royal.
I’m surprised as a tour guide she didn’t take you there.
@@NUBIANQUEENSTAR well we were chatting a lot we probably got side tracked
❤Nice coverage after Hurricane Beryl! Thanks for informing all the family members.🙏🏽🏝️
Thank you
Thanks PoJo for showing 1Stop Tours, she's amazing. Jamaica 🇯🇲 🇯🇲 1❤
Yes she is 🙏🏽
Thank you. I get excited showing visitors the history, culture, and natural beauty of our island 🇯🇲
Man a say Parade and 98 bus, man turn a real local!
😂😂
😂
😂
This was good. I used to go to Port Royal for school trips, Saturdays & sometimes on my way from the airport. A family member of mine was close friends with Gloria when she was alive back in the 90's. Next time you should tour Fort Charles, the Giddy House, the Museum and the Old Hospital.
Yes i will see giddy house next time
I truly enjoy your videos - You’re so calm , respectful and adventurous! You remind me of my sons. Keep up the great work my darling ❤ Many, many blessings 😊
Thank you very much
@@PoJoTheBackPacker You’re so welcome!
First. Keep doing your thang man. Starting my channel soon. Love to do some NC content with you…
We can do some NC stuff let’s get it
Can't believe you went to Port Royal and didn't visit the famous giddy house.
I know imma horrible vlogger maybe I’ll go back
She didn't even take you too the famous giddy house 😮😮😮 not right.
@@petertomlinson844 we went but apparently i needed to purchase a tour but i was getting the run around from the lady’s working there lol
@@PoJoTheBackPackerthe real tour of port royal begins after you pay and go through the main gate. You said you like that kind of stuff but you have barely seen anything. There’s more ancient pirate that lady isn’t a good tour guide
Such a pity
Thanks for sharing Po'Jo
You’re welcome.
Keep them coming. I love this video. Another banger very interesting 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you very much
Keep killing it brotha🎉
Thank you
You are really coming to your own in Jamaica man. Been amazing to watch bro. Hope for an amazing rest of 2024 for you 🤙🏼
Thank you bro
That tamarind is healthy we also make juice from it too👍🏿
The tamarind was so good
Port has it's own vibe! I first went there as a high schooler. Great memories! Ine Kamoze was our tour guide. Thanks!
I wanna go back
Gloria’s was previously the Buccaneer’s Roost. Gloria’s daughter and I used to date back then. Every evening after training I would go there to eat or have a drink, my squaddies and I!
Thanks for taking me back there!
1❤
Haha that’s a good story glad i can bring u back in time
@@PoJoTheBackPacker most def, I enjoyed it! Took me back to 78’
Interesting. Love Gloria’s seafood restaurant.
Thanks for your lovely video of Port Royal Jamaica, it’s my first time watching your blog, . I’ve been to Port Royal once or twice, but didn’t go many places. I’m a Jamaican, but never used to visit other places. I am watching from Florida, and regret that now. Hopefully I will do better, keep up the good work, thanks again ❤🎉
Big up Florida i want to come to lauderhill and eat good Jamaican food. Send recommendations if that’s where ur from
Big ships used to come and dock in the downtown Kingston back in the seventies and early eighties. There was also a ferry that used to travel back and forth from Kingston to Port Royal.
@@mitsysimkelle2325 many many moons ago lol
The history is amazing! Kingston's new mayor and the port authority have a couple of projects in the pipeline.
Big up Jamaica 🇯🇲
Dat is it
👏🏽👏🏽enjoyed the tour.
Thank you
Man this was an ABSOLUTE TREAT to watch. Like chicken soup for the soul. And wonderful tour guide. Her spirit is beautiful. ❤
That was a really good book
Thank you. I absolutely love Kingston, especially Downtown. There are a weakth if attractions to enjoy and many hudden gens.
Nice vedio and this country is very interesting
Beautiful
This was so nice, PoJo! Thanks for sharing 😊😊
Thank you for viewing 🫡
I love Jamaica 🇯🇲!
Hell me too lmao
That restaurant is one of Nick Cannon favorite restaurants in Jamaica.
No way i didn’t know this
Tambrine, it is grown on a tree. Then sugar and tart at the same time.
It was so good
Yes, there are some tamarind trees around me in St. catherine
*tamarind
Hahahaha, Pojo thank you for the longer video fam. I really enjoy it. If you are able to can you do more. I really enjoyed it.The tambarine balls snacks was a fav as a kid. I am glad to see that some of the JUTC buses are well kept. I went to Gloria's before but was too busy. I would rather go to Hellshire.
I was told not to use the public bus afterwards cuz yall call it a chi chi bus 😭😭
@@PoJoTheBackPacker hahahaha, well people want to eat a food (make money) and because it is owned by the government that also adds to it. It was rumoured that the PM who brought the bus to the island was a homosexual. Thus the juxtaposition.
@@prestonmatthews725 ahh i understnd now
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
Jamaicans refer to gay men as “chi chi” man as well as other terms like the one that bus driver called you. 😏
Wow the hurricane really has left the beaches or seawater dirty, usually that will be cleared soon.
I heard some beaches look really bad and others look nice
Port Royal wasn't just Jamaica's wickedest city, but actually was the World's wickedest city.
Very true
This was so educational. Thank you.
Thank you for watching
Another great video 👍🏼
Thank you
Morgan’s Harbor was nice also. On our free time from training, we used to go there to eat or have a drink. Wow, I cannot believe that 1978 I was running all over Port Royal. Some of the best steam fish I’ve had was at the Buccaneer’s Roost😋
I could only imagine what a time it was. Sounds like me and my friends after our day in the military we would grab drinks and food and relax
@@PoJoTheBackPacker what branch of service were you?
I served for 20 years in the US Amry!
@@henryallen3483 my mother and father were in the army. I was in the marine corps
@@PoJoTheBackPacker hooah👊🏾
Very cool video showing and explaining some of the history there with Marie. She’s lovely woman with great spirit. Subbed to her channel too 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thank you my bro
Ahh. Thank you. 😊
Port Royal is a nice place
I really enjoyed it
Very nice town with only a population of 2,000
The Kingston Wharves is the largest Port in Jamaica.
It should be opening soon i think
Interesting. I need to gather more info on the wharf.
Back in the day, there used to be a Ferry Boat service from Kingston Harbour to Port Royal. I took a trip by that route once as a kid
How was it? Was port Royal not connected by the road then?
That was a dumb question considering you said you took a ferry. But like when did the road come in? How did that happen?
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Not quite sure when...perhaps within the last 20yrs
The Ferry service was discontinued
Can see you're loving your experience..
Yea just doing my normal ting
So much history
There really is
The tour is good I’ve been on it
Okay i will go one day
I remember finding lots of shells on this beach! The food over there is delicious ❤
It was a good day
PO if u watch pirates of the Caribbean it is really about port Royal and the surrounding Caribbean island
That’s interesting I’ve seen that movie
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Port Royal was considered the wickedist city on earth. City had alot of pirates. Half the city is under water now.
@@cadizking8161 i know i read about it crazy to think a city is under these waters lol
When I was training at the police training school there at Port Royal, I would take the Ferry from down town Kingston to Port Royal. I trained there for 6 months in 1978 and had the time of my life❤
I remember you from my short. I saw the little police station there i wonder if it looks the same to you today
@@PoJoTheBackPacker looks the same, fresh paint but in the same location!
That was my boat at yknot dock
Aye big ups to you
Hope your boat is okay👌🏽🫡
Pojo, yuh block di people dem way. Context is really important as I taught the man called you a batty man for no reason at all. When I am driving here. Anyone that impedes me I call them "batty man", "sadamite". I understand why she said it's a form of endearment to subliminally say that it is coming from a place of annoyance. My people are special. Love them.
Bro trust me ur the only person that gets it. I know i was in his way and i know he didn’t mean it derogatory he was just talking junk lol
@@PoJoTheBackPacker he is just pissed off that you walked out in traffic. Bro. When I am home I say it a lot to people but it’s not to be hateful. I am just annoyed of how they don’t have any regards for drivers.
@@prestonmatthews725 😂😂
Very lovely ❤💚💛 what type of camera are you using every thing is so clear? keep exploring 🤠 ill be there doing my regular island tour on July 29 to August 7 Jamaica is always interesting 😮 enjoy yourself ☺️
Have fun on your trip. I use a GoPro 12
The bus driver said that in the proper English way for you to understand what was said.
I’m aware
Juicy beef patties or the best
@@staminadon u think so?
Tastee is best to me...
I grew up in Kingston St Andrew so I grew up eating Tastee patties and I had never had Juici beef patties until I returned to Jamaica 20 years after leaving. I tried with my family and we all agreed that Juici beef patties were better. I bought the Tastee patties at Sugar and Spice. I don’t know if they’re still buying their patties from Tastee like they used to. It was good but not as good as Juici beef patties. I was relieved that Sugar and Spice still had those DELICIOUS danish whirls-my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE pastries! 🤤
Shame of the that guy calling you the B word. Maybe he’s just a madman. Either way, some people should keep their disrespectful comments to themselves. That’s how many get killed disrespecting others. What business of it is his what you are? I’m glad you just laughed it off. Coming enjoying yourself and entertaining us with your videos of Jamaica. I just subscribed.🤗❤️
@@monicagomez4616 haha yes i don’t even go that way so i think he wanted clout which he’s getting 😂😂
@@monicagomez4616 thank you for subscribing 👌🏽
@@PoJoTheBackPacker You’re welcome❤️
great tour guide. she's awesome
Thank you bro
Thank you. I love conveying Kingston's natural beauty, culture, and history to visitors.
Bless up your self brother 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲❤🌎👍🏾
Appreciate u
Hello Po Jo ...love your vibes❤
Thank you
I miss cocobread so much. We used it for everything man. So delicious. And makes great buns for burgers. Oh man another video from u making me hungry
I been wondering where u are
@@PoJoTheBackPackerI’m always here homie 🤙🏼🤙🏼 sometimes little late though 😂
Yoo 😂 Po Jo I came here b4
lol it’s nice
Thank you😊
You’re welcome
Gloria's...first stop on the way from the airport 😊
Haha
Hey Pojo.... PLEASE The Kingston Harbour is NOT a Bay.... Its a Harbour and the 7th largest natural Harbour in the world.
Thank you for correcting me
@@PoJoTheBackPacker i don't understand why we keep on boasting that the Kingston harbour is the 7th largest natural harbor in the world..Not in the top 5 but we gonna make everyone knows. lol
I’ve never been to Port Royal, bucket list. Love tamarind balls
Do visit
Port Royal, historical community. The storm really messed up the water and the environment. Enjoy
Yes it did
Downtown Kingston was where the cruise ships use to come to dock a d passengers use to come off the cruise ships and visit Jamaica. That is why they have the craft market down town that sell souvenirs to the tourists.
Very interesting
The police training school was on the same grounds as Ft Charles. I used to play around in Fort Charles and then head down to the beach behind the Fort!
Is the police training school still there?
I saw the coast guard building but i did not see a police training facility i could have missed it maybe ?
@@PoJoTheBackPacker you couldn’t miss it. The parade ground and the entrance to Fort Charles were adjacent to each other! I graduated from the academy with “best of law” honors. You really took me back
Pojo I was wondering about the Ferry at Port Royal . We used to get on this ferry from Port Royal to the Kingston harbour downtown.
Wow thank you for sharing
People outside selling patties is a qucik way for people to escape the queue inside Tastees .
They are hustlers too so the price of the patty outside cause slightly more
Ahh i understnd
What they didn’t tell you. That hotel was called Morgan’s Harbour and the first James Bond movie, Dr. No was filmed there.
Interesting
@@PoJoTheBackPacker Growing up I never knew it as Excelsior. Went there a lot with family for a day out.
Yes, I visited Port Royal, did you try bammy and fried fish?
No i haven’t had this yet maybe i will try to find it
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
I know you already had festival. We usually eat escovietch (fried) fish with festival or bammy. 🤤
The Port Royal Harbour is a wide harbour too
So I’ve been told
Pojo Port Royal is also famous for two fish restaurants called Gloria’s really lovely food you should try if you get to go back. Jamaicans or tourists go there at the weekends or in the week for lunch or dinner. This is at the fishing village
Now seem later in the video that you both went to visit. Really good food. Usually really packed there too and your food is freshly made so can wait for almost an hour for for your food once ordered.
Yea i walked up inside Gloria’s it was nice
@@DeeDale937 sheesh long wait time 😂
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
Jamaicans in Kingston opt between Helshire and Port Royal when they want to eat fresh fish. Port Royal is cheaper but Helshire has more variety.
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
You should try going to Helshire beach. The food is expensive so you’ll need some fund$$$.
That term that he called you wasn't a compliment. Nice travel video!
😂😂 i know it wasn’t he was a D
Hi pojo
You should definately visit the old courthouse in morant bay st thomas(my parish) there are similar canons behind the old courthouse🇯🇲 havent been there in a while so i cant remember if the canons were behind it😭byt there is definately alot of history there...and not too far from morant bay there is a village called stony gut. This is the birthplace of one of jamaica's national heroes (paul bogle) he led a rebellion along with morant bay workers. Wow this is a long comment...anyways paul bogle walked 45 miles from stony gut to spanish town. You will find out why in stony gut village...they will tell you all about the history of morant bay and paul bogle..i hope u can find the time to read this and take in consideration 🇯🇲 love ur videos🙌
I’ll look into this
Yes! It just so happens I visited Stony Gut Village yesterday, stood on the site of the Right Excellent Paul Bogle's House. I also visited Morant Bay, saw the old courthouse, the canons and the site/memorial where ever 400 people were killed.
I have travelled to Morant Bay several times via public taxi from.Parade using the new southern coastal highway. It is a scenic 50 - 60.min journey, costing approx 500 JMD.
I have also taken a second taxi for 300 jmd to visit and explore Bath mineral spa.
PO it's the same patty they r selling out side but it's more expensive they add extra
Thank you for telling me this lol i was like wtf
@@PoJoTheBackPacker
There’s a pastry shop throughout Kingston called “Sugar and Spice.” They buy and sell Tastee patties too. My favorite in Kingston was the Cookie Cutter pastry shop that my high school bought patties from. It had a nice spicy flavor in the beef. I’m not sure if it’s still there.
that innocent observation was so funny !
With the high cost of living, Jamaicans will try anything to make extra cash. You may go to tastees patty one day and the line is very long, and you are in a hurry. But what if you don't need to join then line because a vendor is reselling outside where you can just grab and go? Persons saw this as an opportunity to make some extra money. Its an interesting act, but it works for the vendors 😅😅
lol they hustling out here
@@PoJoTheBackPacker yes sir 😅
I think this location 'Lime Key'' was in the James Bond movie Dr. No'.
I truthfully have no idea
@@PoJoTheBackPacker you can also research, other James Bond movies such as 'Live and Let Die'' and ''No Time to Die. which were shot in Jamaica Ian Flemming The author still has his house in Jamaica where people can visit and stay over.
Yup
Good day
❤
Thank you
I've been there already fish is very good
Maybe I’ll try next time
I never like tamarind balls😮
Too sour😅
Yea if i was a kid i would enjoy it more lol
I’ve been to that restaurant Po Jo the food is delicious
I heard it was good
When that earthquake happened the island break off and hence how you get Kingston
That’s crazy
@PoJoTheBackPacker , I know right and port royal was once known as the Wickedness place on earth
Pojo, as watch u being so excited I wonder......Port Royal, considering it being once the richest city in the world (due to its pirate history) and considering the 2 thirds of it sitting under the sea resulting from the earthquake; in its hay days would the kingston wharves be considered a baby wharf when compared to it? Also, if the earthquake didn't happen, would Port Royal remain Jamaicas' main port of entry? In addition, if the earthquake didn't happen and it remained a port of entry, would it be a commercial port or a tourist port like Ocho Rios and the others?
I think it would be a commercial port to be honest.. i read that like 33 acres or something like that sank under water which is a lot
@PoJoTheBackPacker man I wish Jamaica had better documentation of its history because I would love to see the actuality of what Port Royal looked like in its entirety b4 it sank. Also, I would love to see pictures of what Jamaica looked like during slavery. Specifically an image of an actual plantation. I have seen actual ruins of the "massa" house and there are great houses but to me they look different as a great house than as the main house of a plantation with acres of land. i just would love to see the full picture with slave houses and fields and all. I also would love to see how it looked in the time of Paul Bogle and Sam Sharpe Rebellion. I really can't settle for the images people hv of what they believed it might have looked like.
@@kyafikaloo7268 are there any “massa” house still up in Jamaica? Where i am from in America there are a lot next to where i lived in NC. I actually was going to do a video on one but it was just me by myself and i was rambling lol
@kyafikaloo7268 the Institute of jamaica (IOJ), National Museum of Jamaica, and the national library of jamaica are some places that houses these records. As you can imagine, guided tours such as those that would be given at like Fort Charles are so on are at times a little "dressed up or diluted" for the tourists.
@@PoJoTheBackPackeryou can visit Sligoville Great House or Seville Great House
Great video! You are calm to take the comment from a driver in stride. But I guess it’s another country.
Yea it’s another country no need to argue with mans
Yes, living here, I do.not stress about such comments....
I can give you history of Port Royal bro👊🏾
Drop it in the comments how the road to port Royal got built
@@PoJoTheBackPacker port Royal road is the only road to the airport and to port Royal. Built back in the days by slaves
Pojo. Wise decision. Portland is the best. Big up my Portlanders.
Nah frfr Portland my favorite parish
@@PoJoTheBackPacker bro, I honestly love when people visit Portland and enjoy it and apprecilove her beauty as much as I do. Like even driving from the Eastern side to Port Antonio just the natural beauty along the San San stretch puts my mind at ease.
@@prestonmatthews725 yea i made that drive it was mad nice lol
@@prestonmatthews725 Have you ever driven down Spur Tree Hill? A really beautiful view. Very underrated.
@@oneilchambers1938 bro. I did it in 2023 and first I had to get over the anxiety and the stories about traversing the corners but I definitely agree with you. I was happy to see that a soup vendor that me and my uncle used to stop at to get corn and soup was still there.
The reason if u come to tastees and cant bother to join the line and wait to collect the patties, its quicker to buy it from the vendors. Its like $30 more or so. U should totally try juici cheese patties
Ay cheese patty okay lol
Portland is breathtaking
I love it
He called you a batty man PJ it means GAY! Rude man! I don’t even find that funny man! I love you UA-cam PJ the best! ❤
He just bored
Lots of fishermen
Yes
You missed the giddy house. How could you come to Port Royal and miss the giddy house. How!?
The ladies working there told me i couldn’t record lmao
@Po’Jo The Backpacker Being called a B* Man is never a compliment.
I know it’s not 😂
One in Port Antonio
🫡
😂Man Jamerican now😂
😂
Venders buy patties wholesale & move around & sell to passers by, people at their stalls...
Very interesting
