    jamman, It doesn't get more unique than taking the day trip up to Accompong town. Hire Linston , as he is experienced in the drive. The drive there is part of it all, stopping to grab a bite...then to proceed up the mountain, seeing wildlife, flowers, and awesome scenery . Once you get up to the town, it is interesting to learn about it all, the marroons, and all the history. My biggest suggestion is to bring a cooler of ice with beverages. Once you get up high, ice is hard to come by ! On the way back, we had Linston stop in Sav La Mar for a bit, ( we ate at KFC .. LOL )….A great full day, seeing a lot, and at a reasonable price. !!

    Thanks for the thread! It's 2 miles as John Crow fly from Zion Hill. 6 miles on roads.

    Abeokuta is a nice place to go, as long as the water situation is still nice there. We ordered lunch in advance and we were glad we did. There are lots of videos of the place on youtube to get the full idea of what it is like up there. Also, a day trip to the close by Halfmoon Beach in Green Island is nice. https://www.facebook.com/Abeokutajamaica/
