Hello from Zimbali Retreats

[Zimbali Retreats]

can you describe what the difference between the farm and rasta safari tour and how long they might take? I would love to come for a tour and lunch. Do you have recommendations of a driver who is familiar with your location? I am in Negril May 28 through June 5th and would love to check it out sometime during that week.

I replied to this question yesterday, but I dont see the reply and so will post again. Zimbali is very easy to get to, about 20 minutes from Negril and you will feel like you are in a whole different world. The tours includung the lunch last somewhere between 2-3 hours depending on the individuals touring and can last as long as you like- no problem.
The Farm Tour is a tour of our 7 acre organic farm and seeing and tasting everything that is growing and in season. there are always fresh coconuts on the trees to drink etc. its very lovely and educational. Lunch is then served on the back porch overlooking the mountain valley. Lunch is a gourmet 'Ital' meal and fresh fruit juices from the farm.
The Rasta Tour is a hike into the hills above Zimbali to "Fire's Bush" a real Rasta Farm. Along the way you fill your water bottle from the fresh mountain spring and then up you hike along a stone river run off- it very beautiful and you are truly on your way to another world. The hike is not that hard, but it is worth it for the view. Once there, Fire cooks your meal on the open wood fire the way its been done forever. This is a real Rastamans Ital meal and is prepared from food from our farm we send up and from things Fire has on his farm- fresh and amazing! You eat from traditional calabash bowls etc...there is no more real expeience than this.
Tours are 30$/ person and just call ahead for your reservation 876-542-1556...transportation is also available from Negril

I thinks it's relatively close to Roaring River, as both locations are east of Negril.
