Great experience! Tour is 90 minutes from Montego Bay - add 3 hours to the tour time - ATV experience was great! Appreciated the bathroom stop and clean bathrooms on the route and at the venue! The bus operator gave us great information along the route. Our tour guide Carlos, and his team were kind and helpful! Recommend this tour!

Itinerary

After pickup from your Montego Bay hotel, travel about 75 minutes to Roaring River, where you meet your first guide who takes you on a tour of the area. See coffee being roasted, sip a fresh juice, then meet your ATV guide. (Please note: a driver’s license is required to drive an ATV.)

After a quick briefing, you’re off, roaring through forest, fields, farms, and tracks that would be hard to find independently. Enjoy a swim in a natural mineral pool and a visit to a ganja field, then taste fruit fresh from the trees.

Drive back to the base station in time for a fresh-cooked lunch made with market produce, before your original tour guide brings you back to your driver to return to your hotel.

Big Up to the entire crew that was involved in our experience (Respect!), This experience created the opportunity for us to see a genuine and up close look into regular life of the locals. Our tour guides Gilbert and Paul were great and really did a great job of sharing their community with us. The tour gave a lot of opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the life of both our Guides (Gilbert and Paul) but also about the community (Roaring River) as well. Special shout out and thank you to Gilbert for the Breadfruit. Our kids (8 and 11) loved the tour and swimming in the river and have been talking about the experience ever since. Highly recommend for Kids. Thank you to the cook for the delicious Ital meal. Last but not least our driver Clifton was wonderful and engaged. He was helpful and informative and answered our never ending questions while he drove us to the tour and back again. The tour focused on both the experience and interaction with the locals and not on trying to sell anything. I never felt uncomfortable in any way. Must try experience (I will definitely return the next time we are in Jamaica)

Best experience

Quirby_G, Jun 2026
This experience was really worth it not like your average ATV riding. I’m so glad the other plans that we had didn’t work out. We learned a lot of stuff just take full advantage of what they offer they did offer us. Did we wanna go in the cave but we didn’t because we were tired but next time I know that I will do the cave. It was nice getting out with the locals and learning fun facts about the mountains. Also, the vegan meal that they gave us was really good. Do it it’s worth it. Everyone made us feel comfortable.

One of a kind experience

Keora_B, Jun 2026
Omg!!!!! The experience with Dale (our driver), Carlos, Paul and Gilbert was amazing!! The best time we had in Jamaica. Worth every penny. Be sure to bring cash to tip, it’s worth it. The driver was charismatic and hilarious, he also had excellent tunes and was on time to pick us up. We saw breathtaking scenery even though it was raining (liquid sunshine) and learning so much about the mountains and parishes in Jamaica was more than I could ask for. Every one was friendly and informative, the most genuine people I’ve met. Seeing the river and swimming was awesome and special thanks to Gilbert for noticing our tire was a bit low!! One of a kind experience, book now!! Oh yeah we learned about different herbs (lemon grass, allspice), the weed fields were a bit lack luster but we purchased some amazing juice and other things :)! All respect and love. No fruit unfortunately but the vegan meal was warm and hearty. Very good.

A happy team

Caroline_C, Jun 2026
The people were very friendly the food they served for lunch was a vegan dish and to my suprise it was delicious 😁

Tour recommended 10 stars

Samaria_W, May 2026
The tour was amazing. From pick up, the locals, learning about the plantation, to drop off. Rushawn, Bobby, Carlos, Dino and the rest of the team we appreciate your service today. We will make sure we book with you all next time we visit Jamaica.

Great experience

Sara_L, May 2026
Daniel Paul and Clinton were the best. From learning about the history to experiencing the true raw culture it was amazing! I’ll come back and do this tour again and again. So much fun vibes were great. And lots of different things to partake in😎

Best Excursion in Jamaica

Danah_E, May 2026
This was the best tour we could have possibly had! RastaSafari is Jamaican owned (Marley the owner is seen working the grounds and is very humble.) It so important to be supporting locally owned businesses, especially as they rebuild from the hurricane. Kenneth picked us up in a clean bus and was so informative and fun. We were greeted at the grounds with a yummy drink and walked around with Alicia who taught us about herbs and the property. Callowane and Andre took us on our ATV tour. The guides drive bikes and you actually get to drive the ATVs yourself for a long amount of time through the hills and over the river! They were a blast and let us hangout, swim and shop as long as we wanted at our stops. We spoke with Ben at the shop who taught us about all of the goods they were selling, and there was absolutely no pressure to purchase anything. We spent time learning at the ganja farm where Nicolas and Jimmy gave us so much info about the history and science of cannabis in Jamaica. We then were served a yummy lunch. Everyone we encountered was so kind and fun. This was genuinely the best part of our time in Jamaica!! We will definitely do this again when we return.

Erica_N, May 2026
100/10 experience would definitely book again! everyone was very nice and welcoming, especially the tour guides. plus you get to see so much in one day i would recommend for anyone wanting to go off the resort and have an authentic jamaican experience

You don’t want to miss this

Alissa_K, May 2026
It takes almost two hours drive to get to the destination but I promise it’s worth it. Our driver educated us on Jamaican history and drove through the busy streets of Montego Bay so we could see some action. Our favorite part of this tour was the fact that we were able to meet the locals and vibe with them. We were fed a delicious vegetarian lunch at the end of the tour as well. It was awesome and we will be back!!!

Mariah_D, Apr 2026
This experience was extremely fun and we learned way more about Jamaican culture than we’d ever learn at a resort. Everyone was incredibly nice and welcoming and made us feel at home.

Amazing 10/10 experience!...

Connie_D, Apr 2026
Amazing 10/10 experience! Everything was authentic, and the team was very friendly and informative. Thank you!

Great cultural experience

Todd_T, Apr 2026
My wife & I loved our time at Rastafari. If you’re looking for a cultural experience & want to explore the true beauty of Jamaica this is where you want to be. It’s in the country side & you get to see & experience how Jamaica truly is.. All the people that work for Rastafari & the villagers showed so much hospitality. Woodpecker in the village made us some really nice wood art. The spring is so refreshing. The country side is so beautiful to ride in & explore. The food they make for you is great. If your booking this for a cruise don’t hesitate they work with you on times & will bring you back to port whenever you want

It was great I loved...

Susan_B, Apr 2026
It was great I loved learning about the Rasta community and driving around in the ATV. Because of my age (83) I was given a driver, Dino who was delightful! Everyone was so friendly. I had a great time.

Not as expected

KATHARINA_E, Apr 2026
Honestly, I’m disappointed with the tour. I expected more-especially given the very high price. The guides were really nice and friendly, BUT the main focus was on ATV riding. Contrary to what was stated in the description, there was NO Blue Mountain coffee tasting. In addition, the weed plantation was very disappointing. It wasn’t a proper field as shown in the first photo, but rather just a few plants (most of them dried out) in pots. These two points (coffee and plantation) were actually the main reasons I booked this expensive tour, and unfortunately I was very disappointed. I wouldn’t book it again.

Chris_S, Apr 2026
We did this experience on our trip March 18th and it was the highlight of the vacation. The countryside was beautiful and our guides Ali and Skello gave a great tour. Be sure to stop by the centuries old cotton tree by the river.

Great experience

RichardCraig_C, Apr 2026
Great way to see the country side of Jamaica! Every one was very friendly. It was a fun experience….

Rastafari

Aleksandra_L, Mar 2026
This is culture at it’s finest and fun to ride a buggy in the heart of Jamaican land! Strongly recommend! Needles to day Jamicans are simply the best!

Exceptionally amazing adventure!!!! This was by far my favourite excursion! You’re totally immersed!

Chris_W, Mar 2026
It was more than just an experience! The drive up the mountain to the excursion was phenomenal! You see a lot of the outer city, you are in the mountains! I loved the staff, they were friendly, welcoming and had a great sense of humour! I recommend this trip by far!!! The ATV tour and the cave were both epic! I strongly suggest doing the cave at the end of the Rastafari tour! It’s $30 USD, well worth it!

This was the best ride...

leah_p, Mar 2026
This was the best ride experience I’ve had so far and I’ve been to Jamaica 5 times. Highly recommend you book this tour

Rasta Safari Tour— Amazing Experience

R_J, Mar 2026
Amazing experience. The entire trip was a great adventure to say the least. “Junior” was our driver, very hospitable and engaging the entire trip. Our tour guides Colwayne and Daniel were very cool and helpful through the entire ATV experience. The stop at the farm was a highlight and very informative. It was raining which made us enjoy the ATV driving even better! So much culture and history shared with us during our trip. I highly recommend you do this excursion, you won’t regret it.

Recommend!!

Tyliah_S, Mar 2026
Book with them before going with anyone else!! They show you the real Jamaica and how they live day to day! I appreciate both of our tour guides because they were very informative, showed us things that not many people get to see! They are so generous and this isn’t the average tour, its more so yeah, book with them!

Just book it

Melanie_H, Mar 2026
This was my 2nd time going on this excursion. Knowing what the village and country looked like prior to Hurricane Melissa and then seeing what it looks like now was truly heart breaking. We still had a great time seeing the countryside, sampling some plants (allspice, garlic, lemongrass, etc), seeing the ganja farm, swimming in a local waterhole, and eating a delicious vegan meal. The guides are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and only want for you to have the best experience. Of course driving around on the atvs was awesome! If youre someone who wants to get to know the real Jamaican culture and rasta people, dont hesitate in booking this. One thing to add, this is essentially an all day experience. We booked the 1245 tour and got back to our resort around 730pm. Trust me, the length of it is worth it! Shout out to Colwayne and Shevon who were our guides, thank you!!

Book the trip

Lisa_J, Mar 2026
Super fun trip and very educational. It’s fun to see more of the countryside in Jamaica. Kenneth the bus driver is fantastic too!

Great experience

Alexa_W, Mar 2026
This experience was great from the time of pickup to drop off. We had great conversation with our driver as he told us all about our surroundings and about where he grew up. Once we got to the tour, they welcomed us and told us about the local plants as we walked up to meet our guides. The guides were great, very encouraging even though it was my first time driving an atv/utv and i felt comfortable after a few minutes. The scenery was great and we got to stop and take pictures and see animals on our way to the swimming spot. The water was perfect and we even picked up a little souvenir while we were there. Then we headed back, toured the ganja farm and had a few samples. Once we got back we got a great vegan lunch, which was a pleasant surprise since i dont eat meat and didnt specify my dietary needs. Then our driver kenneth took us home and seemed to know we were sleepy and put on some reggae to soothe us to sleep. Would def do this again!

Ella_T, Feb 2026
We had such a great experience. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We learned a lot of new things and really enjoyed driving around in the ATV’s. Driving through local communities was an amazing experience and we got to swim in nice water. The food was also amazing.

Hurricane destroyed these...

Joseemmanuel_L, Feb 2026
Hurricane destroyed these lands so do not expect vast fields of luscious greens... Do expect a very nice experience with very knowledgeable guides keen on sharing their knowledge of the land and culture. It was a great time, service and communication was tip top. Bring tip and tip the people who are welcoming you on their land.
