Bamboo Rafting and E-Bike Country Ride at Good Hope Estate
The divide between yesterday and today vanishes on this cool e-bike tour of an often-overlooked Jamaican treasure. First, hop on your e-bike at historic Good Hope, a former 18th-century sugar estate village nestled in a verdant valley—an unexpected jewel in a soul-lifting tropical setting. Be among the few to see Jamaica’s “real country,” a stunning 200-sq-mile-wide conservation area called Cockpit Country. Visit Fontabelle, a tiny foothill community, while learning about the mineral-rich soil under your feet and its ties with the international companies that came to mine it and, subsequently, become part of this magical island’s history.
Immerse yourself in nature at the Good Hope Estate. Step aboard a hand-crafted 30-foot bamboo raft, piloted by a certified expert raft captain, as you make your way down the iconic Martha Brae River with a refreshing cocktail in hand. While rafting, indulge in an invigorating foot massage done with our revitalizing citrus scrub.
