 Montego Bay

JAMAICA'S BEST PLANTATION TOUR
$72 Per Person  (6 Hours)

Enjoy a 45-minute air-conditioned coach ride from Montego Bay through Jamaica's scenic countryside, over mountains, and through valley's, villages, and lush tropical foliage. An expert tour guide will explain the details of the tropical plants and trees you encounter during your trip. You will pass through sugarcane, pineapple, coffee and banana plantations. Many people live in the interior, so you will travel through a number of little villages.

Upon arriving at a plantation, you will be served a delicious Jamaican country-style breakfast, served in the comfort of the plantation's pavilion house. After breakfast, you will take a guided walk (or ride a bus) to Seaford Town, one mile away, and the village of St. Leonard's on a lazy country road.

A sugar mill in the village is a point of interest and tasting the sugar cane is encouraged. Also you will visit the local school, where the children will entertain you with their charming songs and our national anthem. Then on to the German Village established by German immigrants in 1835. See the majestic old Sacred Heart Mission and view the displays at the Seaford Town Historical Mini-Museum.

The walk should create an appetite, so luckily, a DELICIOUS, ROASTED PIG and JAMAICAN BUFFET LUNCHEON will be awaiting you when you return to the Plantation House. The lunch also features a choice of homemade lemonade (fantastic!), shandy (half lemonade, half beer), or a rum punch, all served with island specialties (other meat/fish dishes on request) in the true Jamaican tradition and hospitality. The 60-pound pig is prepared and roasted in Jamaican brick ovens right next to the Plantation House, and will be served with 12 exotic Jamaican vegetables prepared in the plantation kitchen.

Following the luncheon, you will stroll around or relax on the front porches with your dessert and coffee and listen to the delightful melodic music played just for you by our very own plantation Calypso Band.

We take you back along the border of the famous and sometimes foreboding Cockpit Country, the land of the Maroons. Breath-taking views of deep valley floors, all but inaccessible due to the sheer cliff-like mountains surrounding them. Hear the fascinating history of the Maroons, descendants of the runaway slaves.
