Zion Country Eco-beach Cabins offers is a 3 day/2 night trip to the Blue Mountains. Our drive takes us from Zion Country Eco-beach Cabins through Cedar Valley to the Blue Mountains. On our way we cross 2 rivers and enjoy the many beautiful views. At Hagley Gap we park our car and change to a 4-wheel drive vehicle which takes us to Whitfield Hall, a half hour drive..
There we spend the nights at a “bobo rasta” family’s (Jah-B) house among the coffee farms. Here breakfast and dinner are cooked to order, there are drinks and little snacks available and in the coffee season you can help to pick the coffee beans and make your own world famous Blue Mountain coffee. If you want to go up to the peak we start at around 2 a.m. in the morning. The climb takes about 3.5 hours and you have to be physically fit. We reach the peak just before sunrise. Here you can see the lights of Kingston; on a clear day a fabulous sunrise will dazzle your eyes and sometimes you can see all the way to Cuba. It can be very cold at the peak, so please bring extra clothing. Don’t forget Hiking boots, extra water, dried fruit and last but not least a flashlight
Further up is cloud forest, dripping with filaments of hanging lichens and festooned with epiphytus and moss. Near the top is Stunted Dwarf or Elfin Forest, with trees such as Hirsute, Soapwood and Redwood no more than 3 m tall –an adaptation to the extreme temperatures. On return at our base, breakfast is served and the rest of the day is reserved for relaxation. An alternative for hiking the peak, is a visit to a waterfall — a 2 hour hike.The following day you can “chill out ” or take a walk, exploring the surrounding area . On the third day we drive back to Zion Country Eco-beach Cabins.
Included: All transportation and two nights accommodation. Three day trip. Prices on request.

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 93 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.

A visit to an old dam ( falls ) in the parish of St Thomas.
We will drive in the morning hours, after breakfast, over off the beaten track roads, what are going for a part through the sugarcane and banana plantations and continue on a winding road with beautiful tropical nature beside a river. We will pass remote areas and communities were they don’t see often visitors. There we will buy drinks and food if necessary (so we support other communities) and continue our drive towards Reggae Falls.
Zion Country can only offer this trip when the rivers are not to high because we have to cross them several times, what is only possible with a 4 wheel drive vehicle.
Once arrived by the Reggae Falls we will park there and eat, drink etc. From this point we have to walk through the river ( 3 Ft deep ) and we will reach the dam / falls.
The water comes here from a height of 30 ft. down, you can sit on some spots where you get a good natural massage from the water power for your neck and back. If you are adventurous enough you can jump from the wall side (10 Ft. high) into the water.
For the rest of the time you can take a little adventure walk over the steep hill to reach the top of the dam where you have a beautiful view downwards. Around 4’ o clock in the afternoon we will head direction Zion Country for dinner or we eat dinner on the way back.
Included: Transportation. Full day trip. Prices on request.
