Description from owner
Description
Come experience living with a Jamaican family in a quiet community on the outskirts of the resort town of Ocho Rios, Jamaica. My husband Richard and I have been involved in the tourism sector in Jamaica for many years and continue to contributed to nation building as we open our humble home to international travelers who want to experience the unique Jamaican culture and our colorful history.
Richard, who is a certified tour operator can show you our Island from coast to coast as he gives you historical facts while you explore this beautiful Island.
Come experience Jamaica from a different point of view, the warmth and friendliness of a people, the beautiful beaches, amazing water falls, swimming with the dolphins at Dolphin Cove, bobsledding and zip lining at the Mystic Mountain that over-looks the town of Ocho Rios, tubing or rafting down the White River among so many other exciting activities.
Come see the ever lush green country side where local farmers tend their crops and farm animals. Visit off the beaten path spots where locals spend their down time and touch base with our unique culture.
