Additional Information
At the Rastafari Indigenous Village, you’ll discover the traditions, ancestry, and vibrant culture of the Rastafari. It’s an unparalleled experience to witness such tenacity, cordiality, affection, and the determination to sustain the Rastafarian movement in the face of the severe criticism and oppression from other factions in and beyond the 1930s, the era of the movement’s origin in Jamaica. This is echoed in the music of the iconic reggae musician Bob Marley, particularly his song ‘Rasta Man Live up’. Additionally, the village offers a tranquil labyrinth for visitors to walk through and indulge in introspective reflection.

changed For the good - On this trip to Jamaica I wanted to experience culture and the beauty of the country . This day trip was beyond the best excursion I’ve ever taken over the years ... I would go as far to say it was life changing . The love and the beauty of the Rastafarian life was so enlightening, and compelling. The people in this group are gracious and kind and you feel the peace upon arrival . I will go back when I visit Jamaica again . I apprecialove them .

Amazing! - My husband and I had an amazing visit to the Rastafari Indigenous Village. It was very informative about the culture and history of the Rastafarian. The guides are very welcoming and I felt an air of peace. The walk in was quite beautiful and the river water refreshing. We were served fruit and chocolate tea; loved the chocolate tea. I would highly recommend this tour to any visitors. Its a must see!

Thank you Kevin - Our driver Kevin was on time. He was so familiar with the place there he took us to the village and the rastafarians made us beat drums. The rich culture of the rastafarians was so fascinating. We had such a great time. I think everyone you ever visit jamaica should do this excursion. We recommend Jamaica Mesmerizing Tours. See you next year jmt.

Rasta Village - Our driver Kevin was very friendly and accommodating. He gave us some history of the area during our drive to the village. We ended up staying a little longer because we got there late and the host wanted to make sure we learned about the history that we missed from being tardy. Overall it was a fun learning experience.
