Detailed Description of Excursion:

Start the day with a lovely 1/2-hour drive through the mountainous interior west of Montego Bay. On arrival in village Lethe, board a 30-foot bamboo raft for a breathtaking ride down the Great River. The raft captain explains the flora and fauna while you glide gently down the river and through the valley with its awesome gorges. At the end of the raft trip, board a tractor-drawn jitney (hayride style) and travel to a small banana and pineapple plantation. Driver will give you a tour of the plantation and explain some amazing facts about the banana plant.

Then proceed to the "Green" to see the barefoot climbing of a 75-foot coconut tree. After watching this incredible sight and sampling the coconut water and jelly, you will be escorted to the liqueur shed liqueurs of Jamaica. You will also be offered a complimentary drink Pina Colada. The Pina Coada is made directly from the coconut meat and you will be shown how to make it at home. A hot country-style barbecue lunch with fruit drinks is served before you return to the ship.
