About Jamaica
One Love Tours

Jamaican One Love Tours grew from a family connection to Jamaica into a travel company helping people plan and experience the island in a more personal way.

​

From our family to yours.

Rooted in Jamaica.
Built on Trust.

Jamaica One Love Tours began with a family trip, a trusted local driver, and a friendship that grew from there.

 

What started with transportation has grown into helping travelers plan more of their time in Jamaica — from where to stay and how to get there to private tours, local experiences, and the details that make a trip easier.

​

The business has grown, but the idea behind it hasn’t changed: personal relationships, trusted local knowledge, and caring for people while they experience Jamaica.

Local Knowledge → Jamaica Beyond the Resort

Our relationships and experience on the island help travelers see more of Jamaica — its communities, food, landscapes, and everyday life.

Planning → Help From Start to Finish

From choosing an all-inclusive resort to airport transportation, private tours, Club Mobay, and travel insurance, we can help with as much — or as little — of your trip as you need.

Trust → People You Can Reach

Travel doesn’t always go exactly as planned. Clear communication and people you know how to reach can make all the difference.

Personal Touch → Relationship-Driven Travel

We take the time to understand how you want to experience Jamaica so your trip feels personal rather than packaged.

Meet Our Founders

Shane and Taji Gibson

We are Shane and Taji Gibson — a family from Indiana, travelers at heart, and caretakers of meaningful experiences.

​

We travel as parents too — with two boys of our own — so safety, patience, and trust aren’t features to us; they’re non-negotiables.

​

We don’t claim to be Jamaican. We respect Jamaica deeply — its people, its culture, and the family roots that connect us to the island.

 

Taji’s mother was born and raised in Castleton, St. Mary, and returning there with our larger family reshaped how we understand what it means to truly belong in a place.

​

In 2019, we traveled back with six grandchildren. Our priority wasn’t sightseeing — it was trust. We needed dependable transportation that honored our family’s pace, safety, and comfort.

 

That’s when we met Wendell — a local driver whose care, consistency, and integrity transformed our stay. What began as a ride became a friendship.

 

And that friendship became Jamaica One Love Tours.

Wendell Stoddart

Wendell Stoddart brings nearly 40 years of transportation experience — not just driving, but caring for families on the

road.

 

Based in Ocho Rios, he knows Jamaica deeply: the roads, the culture, and the rhythms of island life.

​

Wendell’s approach is simple: safety, patience, respect, and genuine hospitality. He won’t rush you. He’ll keep your family

safe.

 

And he’ll help Jamaica feel like a place you can trust, not

just visit.
