The central feature of this natural attraction is the large labyrinthine limestone cave with its numerous rock formations, its stalactites, stalagmites and abundance of overhead ceiling pockets. Your guide will explain the rich history of the caves, telling the story of the people who have used the caves for various purposes over the years. The discovery of cave paintings, tools and fragments of pottery indicate that 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 (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 escape the Island and flee to Cuba. Runaway slaves have also used the caves to hide from their former masters.

We really enjoyed the cave exploring excursion. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. No complaints. I think it is a good tour for kids and others who like adding some education in their fun activities.

The history of the Green Gratto Cave is very interesting. The guide did an awesome job and the driver was polite, patient, on time and very jovial. He ensured we were comfortable and even offered complimentary refreshment.
