Pellen Island, a pristine and uninhabited islet near Port Antonio, offers a tranquil escape ideal for snorkeling, swimming, and nature appreciation. Accessibility is exclusively by boat, typically chartered from Port Antonio, making a guided visit highly recommended for navigation, safety, and combining with other local attractions. While Jamaica is generally pleasant, the best time to visit is during the dry season (December to May), as access can be weather-dependent during hurricane season (June to November). There is no direct entry fee for the island, but boat charter costs usually range from $50-150+ USD for a multi-hour excursion. A typical visit to Pellen Island itself might last 1-2 hours for exploration and water activities, often forming part of a longer 3-6 hour tour of the area. Visitors should bring their own water, snacks, sunscreen, and snorkeling gear, and are encouraged to practice responsible tourism as there are no facilities on the undeveloped island.
