CROYDON IN THE MOUNTAINS

Our visit to Croydon Plantation gave us tremendous insight into the history and culture of Jamaica, as well as the challenges faced by rural residents. We were privileged to have the owner of the farm as our tour guide and learned a lot about the challenges of farming in the mountains. We also enjoyed many tasty samples, such as pineapple, coffee, and the chicken lunch. The bus ride into the mountains was an adventure in itself! I highly recommend if this is the type of thing you're interested in.

We stopped here on a carnival cruise excursion. Beautiful location in the mountains. Great presentation on growing pineapple, coffee and bees. He also showed us other local trees/plants and explained how they are used. On the short walk to the plantation building there were 4 or 5 snack stops. We had the opportunity to try the pineapple grown on site, we tried the pineapple juice made from the pineapple skin (along with rum for anyone who wants some). Proven sugar cane, cherries,. . . A great way to spend a day in the Montego Bay area. Educational and also very attractive. Beautiful location and great tour.

My husband and I with another couple stayed down the street. James Resort and they prepared our tour for us. Our guide and bus driver were very knowledgeable and were able to answer our questions. Once at the plantation we were able to walk and taste the pineapples and coffee. I would recommend this trip.

My husband and I came here because he is a plant and animal enthusiast. He loved it! The tour guides are amazing. Elisa and Shakira are fun and very knowledgeable. The drive was long and bumpy from our resort in Montego Bay, but the guide points out different landmarks along the way and it doesn't even seem that long!
