A Scenic Drive to Remember

The journey to the RastaSafari Adventure in Petersfield was an experience in itself. As we left our resort in Lucea, our guide, Lester, took us on a winding route through the lush Jamaican mountains and quaint local villages. With the windows down, the fresh mountain air filled the car, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of freedom and anticipation. The drive was a perfect prelude to the adventure that awaited us, setting the tone for a day of exploration and cultural immersion.

Upon arriving at the village, we embarked on a short walk through fields and woods to reach the ATVs. Our guide pointed out various plants along the way, sharing tidbits of local knowledge that added depth to the experience. The anticipation built as we approached the side-by-side ATVs, ready to embark on a journey through the heart of Jamaica.

Riding Through the Heart of Jamaica

With three ATVs for our group of five, we set off on a thrilling ride through the picturesque trails of Roaring River. The guides, riding dirt bikes, ensured our safety while allowing us the freedom to explore at our own pace. The sense of adventure was palpable as we navigated the trails, stopping at scenic spots to soak in the breathtaking views.

One of the highlights was our visit to a small ganja farm. While not the sprawling fields some might imagine, the farm offered a fascinating glimpse into the cultivation process. We sampled CBD juices and even tried some fresh lychee berries and mangoes, picked right from the trees. The guides were accommodating, encouraging us to ask questions and engage with the local culture.

A Refreshing Dip and a Delicious Meal

The adventure continued with a stop at a local river, where we joined families and locals for a refreshing swim. The swiftly moving water was invigorating, and the atmosphere was one of pure joy and relaxation. Watching local kids play and laugh under the bridge was a heartwarming sight, reminding me of the simple pleasures of life.

After our swim, we returned to the main location for a delicious vegetarian meal. The rice and cabbage were flavorful, though the veggie nuggets were a hit with only some of our group. The relaxed pace of the day allowed us to savor the meal and reflect on the day’s adventures.

As the day came to a close, I felt a deep sense of connection to the land and its people. The RastaSafari Adventure was more than just a tour; it was an immersion into the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Jamaica. For those seeking a unique and enriching experience, this adventure is a must-do. RastaSafari Adventure
