Do you have ice?

I so love everything I have seen and heard about Zimbali and will definitely plan a visit into my next trip--if I hadn't already done a hotel and air package for end of May I'd be coming even sooner. Is it possible to visit the farm and retreat as part of a day trip and check it out for future visits or maybe purchase an ital meal?

Yes we have ice, and it is made with natural spring water!

You are warmly welcome to visit our retreat. We offer a Farm Tour and a Rasta Safari Tour. Tour pricing is US$30.00 per person and is inclusive of a gourmet Ital lunch and non alcoholic beverages.

is there a natural body of water or a river there? i want to bring my 5 and 7 year old daughters .... will they like it for a day trip?

[irieworld]

also do you (or any other boardies) have ideas pf other things nearby or between Negril and Zimbali that I might want to combine with a trip?

[irieworld]

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.

We have a few lovely river spots to swim and a beautiful waterfall spot that runs when the springs are running hard during rainy season. We ourselves have a 10 year old boy and 2 year old girl and they to swim...your girls will love it.

The farm tour is located right here on our farm and is a great walk in the hills. Eat coconuts from the trees and taste everything that is growing and in season. The lunch is cooked here and served on our lovely back deck overlooking the mountain valley. The Rasta Safari is a hike into the higher hills to "Fire's Bush", a real Rasta Farm. Along the way you stop at the spring and fill your water bottles from the fresh mountain spring and then up you go along a stone river bed. The hike is lovely and not that hard. Once there, Fire prepares your lunch on the open wood fire as it been done forever. This is a traditional 'Ital" meal- usually a thick vegetable soup or stew- eaten from traditional calabash bowls. We send food along and Fire provides alot from his farm as well. The view is lovely and you are truly a world away... Either tour is only around 2-3 hours, but you can stay as long as you like We of course have a driver and you can call anytime...876-542-1556
