Zion Country Eco-Adventure Trips

Rafting on the Rio Grande River

Welcome Welcome Fed by torrential rains, the Rio Grande River rushes down from the Blue Mountains at an elevation of 1000 m and has carved a huge gorge. This exceedingly lush valley forms a deep v-shaped wedge between the North-Eastern flank of the Blue Mountains and the John Crow Mountains to the East. It’s fertile alluvial soils are well watered and much of the valley is dominated by banana groves. On your raft trip you may see giant swallow tail butterflies, which are particularly abundant in early summer. Zion Country Eco-beach Cabins brings you to the starting point for your raft trip, where you pay 60 US dollars for a 1 or 2 person raft, including a captain. He will raft you down to sea level in about 2.5 hours, where we will pick you up again. Included: Transportation. Full day trip. Prices on request.


River Climbing to the Reach Falls

Welcome This is one of the most beautiful and natural waterfalls of Jamaica. Number one waterfall, elected by the Jamaican Tourist Board for the last three years for his natural beauty. Zion Country Eco-beach Cabins offers this trip for groups, minimum 4 persons. With a guide, you hike up the river from almost sea level to Reach Falls. Your path will pass through tropical rain forest, beautiful surroundings and a series of cascades tumbling over limestone tiers from one hollowed, jade colored pool to another. WelcomeFrom Reach Falls you continue your hike up to Madingo cave, almost a half mile up river to the Drivers River spring which feeds the falls with water. Note the signs that read, "Beware of deep pools and strong currents". There are changing rooms and bathrooms above the parking lot, where they sell fantastic cray-fish soup and other things. When you reach the falls, and on your way back down over the road, you can visit an old Rastafarian (Jah Priest) who sells nice crafts and a little further down on your way you find some wicker crafts. Included: Transportation and a guide. Full day trip. Prices on request.
