Zion Country Regular Trips
Athenry Gardens & Nonsuch Caves
This is a former coconut plantation and agriculture research center that today, as a lush botanical garden, boasts many exotic and native species. The highlight however, is the Nonsuch Caves system of nine separate chambers of stalagmites and stalactites. Bats occupy these caves hanging from the 13 m high ceiling in the Gothic-scale Cathedral chamber. It is said that some stalagmite formations resemble the forms of a pope, a bishop, a man in ropes on a camel, and a nude female emerging from a shell. 
The second part of the trip leads through a lovely rainforest filled with beautiful views. The view over Port-Antonio harbor is especially striking.
This is a Zion Country Eco-beach cabins full day trip. Included: all transportation. Prices on request.
Port Antonio: shopping, visit new marina and Folly Lighthouse
Port-Antonio is the capital of Portland.It was Jamaica’s main banana port. Melancholic Port Antonio still has the rakish air and tropical lassitude of a maritime harbor but over the last two years the Port Authority build a completely new five-star yacht marina with a walking promenade and in the future with more shops and restaurants to be opened. In the fifties and sixties many great American artists came here for holidays. One of them was Errol Flynn, who’s family once owned Navy Island. Port-Antonio has supermarkets, a completely new craft market with craft shops, a post office, a hospital, telecommunications etc. Banks are open from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. and on Fridays until 4 p.m., closed on Saturdays and Sundays. ATM's are also available. Folly is an old ruin dating from 1905. Once it was a two story, 70m long mansion boasting sixty rooms; an American millionaire’s humble residence. Folly now acts as popular backdrop for fashion photo shoots. This is a Zion Country Eco-beach Cabins full day trip. Included: all transportation. Prices on request.

Kingston: Port Royal & White Cane River Falls
Port Royal is a dilapidated, ramshackle place of tropical lassitude. Today’s funky fishing hamlet was once the wealthiest city in the New World. In 1692 an earthquake destroyed Port Royal and 90 percent of the town disappeared under water,where it remains to this day. More than two thousand people died. Today you still find the old buildings; some of them have been rebuilt, most of them in their original shape. There are plans to develop Port Royal as a tourist destination. On our way back, we stop by the White Cane River Falls. Here you can have a lunch or drink and relax by the waterfalls. This is a Zion Country Eco-beach Cabins full day trip.

Bath Fountain and Spa
This little village lies on the banks of the Garden River.Here you find Bath Fountain. You can take a dip in the mineral hot spring water or get a hot water massage with towels from one of the many locals what hang around the natural hot bath in the river. If you prefer more privacy and quietness try one of the hot water baths inside the old original hotel, situated at the parking lot. Here you can rent your own bathroom with the same natural hot water. This is always a pleasant experience. The waters are high in lime and other minerals sulphur, magnesium, and have therapeutic value in treating skin ailments and rheumatic conditions.

Morant Point Lighthouse
This is a really popular trip.This 33m tall red and white striped edifice marks Morant Point, the most Eastern tip of Jamaica. The 6m wide cast iron tube was shipped from England and erected in 1841 by freed African slaves from Sierra Leone. It is the oldest lighthouse in the island and is listed as a historical monument. You can climb to the top of the lighthouse. The powerful view and the windy silence make for a profound experience as you look out over rippling cane fields, as green as limes, toward the Blue Mountains, caressed by clouds. The drive takes you along the sugar cane fields and factory.
