Where to go in Jamaica - A Rain Forest Adventure



Zip lining through the Jamaica Rain Forest!

 
I may have mentioned on a previous posting that I am an ex – Army man? Well, I am. I was a proud member of the Irish Guards, her majesties finest soldiers. Well, in training we had an assault course that was the terror of the American Marines, they hated it, we on the other hand, we loved it. So, what’s all this reminiscing about? I saw holidaymakers in Jamaica doing exactly what we used to do; they get people to dangle you by a rope and then shoot you through the jungle tree tops as fast as a bullet!!
The Jamaica Rain Forest adventure trail.
I saw a video on YouTube whilst looking around for materiel on this wonderful and fascinating tourist attraction. The Rain Forest Adventure trail is at Mystic Mountain, Ochos Rios and it has lots of things to offer the tourists, not just being dangled from a cable and zipped through the jungle canopy at a vast rate of knots.
There is the Bobsled ride, the Canopy Zip Line (See the video) Mystic water slide and much more. If you are a Green tourist (No! I don’t mean if you are as thick as Whale Sandwich I am referring to those people who are concerned with the welfare of planet earth.) Then this is one tourist attraction you just cannot miss.
I must just add that if you are a bit scared of heights you had better give the Sky Explorer a swerve as it is a ride that takes you 700 feet above the Rain Forest on what looks like a swinging park bench. Mind you, there are cracking views of places like Dunn’s River Falls and the Caribbean Sea.
You can spend a day at this wonderful Eco tourist attraction and have the time of your life. There are also other attractions close by, such as the beautiful Dunn’s River Falls, The Coyaba River Garden and Museum and Dolphin Cove, just to name a few. Go on, enjoy yourself!

Dunn'a River Falls, Ochos Rios, Jamaica


 Dunn's River Falls, Ochos Rios, Jamaica

I thought I would give you a treat and bung some videos onto the Blog and so I have scoured Youtube for some decent videos of Jamaica and I came across this video for Dunn's River falls at Ochos Rios (Eight Rivers)

There isn't eight rivers at Ochos Rios, the name is a misnomer, a misinterpretation of the Spanish word "The Waterfalls" Las Chorreros by the British. This was the setting for a rather dodgey Tom Cruise film called "Cocktail" I don't know what was worse, Tom's acting as a cocktail barman cum Romeo/Gigalo or the florid shirts the director made him wear for the film.

Buy hey! here's people enjoying themselves in Jamaica, that's great to see. We also have a great villa here that I would like you to see.
