This experience was AMAZING! My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the service, hospitality, and kindness of everyone we came across. Our driver Jenieve set up the ambience by playing upbeat Jamaican music the whole time and led us to the beginning of our excursion, where we met Bobby who provided us a delicious cocktail and were led by Ella - who took some very cute pictures of us - to the main event. Then we met Nick and Shevon who were simply fabulous the entire time. They made my husband feel comfortable with understanding the vehicle and did a great job of guiding him while I relaxed and enjoyed the views. They brought us to a beautiful river in a quaint part of town where we were offered the opportunity to do some diving and swimming. There we got some snacks and beverages, mingled with the other visitors, and purchased a beautiful dress that the employee threw in a free bracelet with! We also got to try some samples of different concoctions and see the wildlife as well as the plant life of Jamaica. Then we had the most scrumptious vegan meal I’ve EVER had in my entire life and finally got to go back to the resort. Overall this was a wonderful time that we would absolutely recommend to anyone who comes to Westmoreland. Thank you to RastaSafari for providing us with such a fun first excursion during our time here!

This is definitely for adventure seekers. Our guides Chris and Andre was amazing. Swimming in the river was amazing
Our journey took an hour to get to from the hotel. Our driver Claude was a lovely guy he told us about the area we were visiting and was very chatty and good with knowledge and tips. We had a tour through Rolling river which was beautiful and high up in the hills, as it suggests there is a river rolling through, which we were able to have a dip in. We had various tour guides who were lovely and very knowledgeable. Then we had a drive through the area on small ATV’s which was so much fun. We ended up with the lovely Jimmy who gave us a tour of his healing plants. Considering that this area had been in the storm Melissa the community had done a great job rebuilding and making the area habitable again. They rely greatly on farming and tourism so give generously when you visit. The only reason didn’t give full stars is our hotel was not an option for pick up up, so had to pay extra to get to a hotel they did.There was no way of talking to someone as communication was automated. I asked later to be dropped to our hotel by Claude which was no problem.. Thank you for a magnificent tour.
This trip was a gift for my niece for her honeymoon - this was their review.
Nick and Nico (ATV tour guides): amazing tour guides! They drove us all around the Jamaican country side, showed us around in the village, checked in periodically, etc. very kind people. They showed us a flowing river and helped me do my jump off the bridge into the water (I was terrified but they were very kind) lol.
Alecia (guide): very kind and helpful. She showed us some of the flora of Jamaica as she led us up to where the ATV’s are.
Clinton (driver) was one of the kindest, most intelligent people we have ever met. We spoke extensively about the political climate of Jamaica, the problems that the youth face, economics, the aftermath of hurricane Melissa… he provided so many valuable insights and words of wisdom. The car ride was an experience in and of itself. We learned so much and are so grateful for him sharing his knowledge and his views of the world. Clinton also told us that the owner of RastaSafari sent 7 kids to university and didn’t let them stop until they reached their masters. The money made here is very beneficial to the people of Jamaica.
Overall, it was a marvellous experience worth every penny!
Our experience was amazing!! We had so much fun! Probably one of the best experiences of any of our trips here. Neiko and Shevon were the best guides! And Owen the driver also! The food was delicious! We will definitely do the tour everytime we come back! Was also very educational and the best vibes!
My sister and I really enjoyed this excursion. We made several stops along the way and everyone was so welcoming and chill. I highly recommend if you want to experience Jamaica off the beaten path. I would book again!
Callaway and Andrea's were the coolest guides and very knowledgeable about things in Jamaica that you have to meet these 2 guys to learn. You get to see the real Jamaica off the path country side.
A real cultural experience! friendly guides and good vibes. You won’t see this part of Jamaica in normal tours. Would highly recommend.
The ATV ride was great. We had to travel 2 1/2 hours one-way to get to the ATV place. The roads are very bumpy and if you have back problems do not take this tour. Our tour guide Owen was great.
An off the beaten path experience of Jamaica like no other. Many thanks to our excellent Rasta Safari tour guides, Gilbert and Nick. Many blessings to you and your families. Thank you Nicholas in the medicinal farm for educating us on the benefits of the plants they cultivate. Also, many thanks to Owen. our driver to and from our hotel. These people are extremely knowledgeable and treated us with great care. "An experience like no other"
Overall a great experience from the welcome drink to the lunch meal. Had a wonderful time with Daniel as my co driver; very nice!
Perfect from start to finish. Good vibes, good food, beautiful landscapes, nice people. Everything was on time as promised. Totally recommend!
Excellent tour of the hills and up close view of the culture. Nick and Stelo were outstanding guides along the routes.
From the pictures of other reviewers, I knew I had to experience rastasafari. Andre was the driver and picked me up from papaya beach. (quite a few excursions didn’t include pickup from there) he was timely and kind. We chatted a little bit but I also got to enjoy the drive through the towns and see the hills. Upon arrival to the safari, Alicia greeted me with a welcome beverage. Everybody there was so smiley and happy, it was a nice warm welcome. Alicia introduced me to the tour guide, Bigga. Bigga was extremely knowledgeable about the land which was nice to chat about while riding around. The cows and goats are so exciting to see, many babies!! Bigga helped me take as many pictures as I wanted which was amazing as I’m solo traveling. The tour was at my own pace which was very relaxing. We stopped to swim at the bridge and watch people jump in. The water is heavenly and refreshing. Good for the soul. Many shared smiles from locals in the area. After the atv tour finished, I was sat down with a delicious vegan meal. The rice was perfectly moist, cabbage was steamed in flavor and the curry was otherworldly. I thank all of you for opening your home to me and allowing others to experience it. Thank you for the kindness. I can’t wait to come back and experience the cave!!!!
We had such an amazing experience driving the ATVs around the countryside of Jamaica! We felt fully immersed in the culture and beauty of the island. My entire family had a blast! After driving the ATVs through the jungle, we stopped at a little local spot with food, souvenirs, and a natural pool. We were given the option to look around, jump in the water, and/or buy some things to bring back home. A local named, “The Woodpecker” was awesome and we bought some really cool hand carved souvenirs from him! Great pricing too. We ended the tour with a home cooked meal. Delicious & much needed after the fun adventure! If you are looking for something less touristy, I would 100% recommend this. We truly felt that we experienced the “real
Jamaica” and not just a park or amusement attraction made for tourists. Overall, great experience and one of my family’s favorite excursions!
This was one of the most authentic experiences I’ve ever had and definitely lthe best experience we had in Jamaica.
Everything felt genuine and authentic. It truly felt like we were being welcomed into a local community with great respect.
Our guides were outstanding: friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and incredibly welcoming. They explained Rastafarian culture, local traditions, farming, and everyday life while giving us plenty of time to explore at our own pace.
Driving the ATVs through the countryside was a lot of fun and a big part of the experience. One of the highlights was stopping at the local river, where members of the community were also enjoying their day. It felt completely natural and authentic, not like a tourist attraction.
The homemade vegan lunch at the end was another highlight. It was fresh, delicious, and one of the best meals we had during our entire trip to Jamaica.
My entire family loved it—my wife, my two kids (15 and 19), and I all agreed that this was the best experience of our trip. If you’re looking to understand the real Jamaica beyond the resorts and beaches, this tour is an absolute must.
Our RastaSafari ATV tour was hands down one of the best experiences of our trip to Jamaica! From the moment we arrived Carlos and our tour guides Gilbert, Kenna made us feel so welcome. They were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe while still having an amazing time.
This wasn't just an ATV ride—it was the full Jamaican experience. We got to explore beautiful scenery, learn about the local culture, and even meet a talented local artist known as the WoodPecker and purchased a hand carved wooden piece and even engraved our names right on the spot which made the experience even more special and authentic. The guides' energy, humor, and genuine passion made the tour unforgettable.
If you're visiting Jamaica, I can't recommend RastaSafari enough. Thank you, Gilbert, Kenna, Carlos, the Wood Pecker and the entire staff for making this such a memorable adventure. We can't wait to come back!
Such a fun experience! We were with Andre and Calloway. Loved visiting the town, meeting locals and purchasing from the woodpecker. Our vegan lunch was great too. I’d suggest wearing water shoes instead of tennis shoes.
One of the best tours I've experienced thus far. Very informative information about Jamaica. Definitely recommend this excursion
It’s not a crazy ATV tour, if you’re not interested in culture, don’t do this. I was hesitant at first, but this tour was great. The people were very well organized. Gilbert was informative. I wish I remembered everyone else’s name. The food at the end was amazing (and I am not vegan/vegetarian).
We loved it me and my husband enjoyed everything about it the people were so welcoming and got to enjoy some authentic Jamaican things 10/10 we will definitely be back our driver was so friendly after the activity we purchased food in the community and it was delicious we also loved the meal that came with the excursion I didn’t think I would like it but I did and getting to swim and just be around locals it was very beautiful
You absolutely need to book this experience! My wife and I are honeymooning in Jamaica and wanted to do something that would be fun and also show us the real Jamaica. This tour is a 10/10. Our driver, Owen, picked us up right on time and basically gave us a tour before the tour! When we got there, we were greeted by Bobby, and Freddy brought us out some drinks to try before a short trek up to the ATV start point. From then on, we stayed with our guides, Daniel and Ali, as they showed us around their community, Roaring River. Seriously cannot say enough good things about this tour. We stopped to jump in the river with some locals, grabbed some jerk chicken, and were treated to an amazing lunch after our last stop on the tour. Book the tour, you won’t regret it!
Fantastic time. Extra shout out to our driver. He was very informative. He gave us the history and stopped at key points to show us the culture!
This was an amazing experience. Locals were very friendly. Gilbert, Carlos and Carl Wayne were so knowledgeable and accommodating. Support the local business like the Woodpeckers shop. You won’t be disappointed. Would definitely come back!
This was a great experience! Our tour guides Keneil (sp?) and Gilbert were fantastic. From the guided ATV tour to swimming in mineral springs to the farm tour followed by a delicious lunch, it was well worth leaving the resort and seeing what this beautiful country is all about. Highly recommend.
I Had an excellent experience. Gilbert was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable of the Jamaican culture. I would recommend this tour 10 out of 10.
Cannot rave enough about Rastasafari from Owen our driver to our guides Carlos, Daniel and Baga aka Tommy who were all great. A fun and informative day learned a lot about the country and the area, as well as local plants. And massive thanks to the people we met and who provided lunch. Brilliant day out. Highly recommend
Great history and cultural lessons. The tour guide was friendly and honest. The dip in the mineral water is a MUST!
A wonderful trip through the beautiful Jamaican countryside. We had such a great time and my 6 year old loved it. Big shout out to the guides and staff who made this tour extra special
Learning the culture is always amazing and the tour guides are super nice. Ali and Skilla were the best.
An absolute must do. Great way to see this beautiful country and the amazing folks that live here. Andre and Sevon were amazing and the tour allowed us the chance to spend some time at sports day with the early childhood school. Views were incredible, food was delicious, swimming in the crystal clear river was a core memory. I cannot recommend this tour enough- my girls learned so much about the Jamaican culture today and we were welcomed with love and happiness. A must do and we will be back to do it again!
