You need to review the travel agent you are partnered with in Jamaica. This is the 2ndtrip we had book and it was not value for money at all!! It was described as a full day tour by 13:00 we were on our way back. It was stated we would have lunch at a restaurant by the sea, this was a lie it was in a local food stall in an alley way. The actual maroon tour was not a tour just someone speaking to us for about 20 mins with no actual time to look around for ourselves. POOR!! I would like a refund!!
Your journey through Jamaica's north will unveil the culture and history of the island. You'll visit the Charles Town Maroon Museum to learn about the Maroons' struggle for freedom, enjoy a tasty lunch and stroll through Sun Valley farming estate to sample fresh fruits and vegetables. Jada, one of our expert local guides, says "the Jamaican Maroons have a proud and fascinating heritage. They are descendants of enslaved West Africans who escaped from plantations and created communities known as Maroon Towns. These communities preserved their African roots – the Maroon culture is known for vibrant music, dance, storytelling, herbal medicine, and cuisine."
Our first stop is at Sun Valley Plantation, a cute little farm where you'll stroll through gardens to look at tropical flowers and taste some of the fruits and vegetables that're grown here. You'll also see how the locals have farmed here for generations. Afterwards, you'll head to the Charles Town Basic School, a small school at the heart of the Charles Town Maroon community. Then, you'll visit the Charles Town Maroon Museum – home to a wealth of artifacts, including traditional clothing, weaponry, and musical instruments. You'll learn about the Maroons' long struggle for freedom and their important role in Jamaica's history.
Next, it's time to sit down for lunch, which will have you eating like a local thanks to all the traditional Jamaican dishes on the menu. You'll dine in a laidback spot overlooking the coast.
