Throughout your journey of climbing, you’ll come across many areas where you can get a few photos in (ask your guide to help with that). You start at the bottom, and he/she directs you step by step to the top. Exploring the FallsĪfter doing all this, you may think the adventure is over, but there’s yet one thing left to be done – climb the falls! For this, you need a guide (it’s mandatory). Both looked so chill in the day and happily gave me the opportunity to take photos.
Aviary and Mini ZooĪnother draw to this attraction is the aviary and mini-zoo which provides you with the opportunity to take a few picture perfect moments.īe sure to let the guide know you’re interested in taking pictures with the resident parrot and Iguana. There’s also other artifacts such as a cassava grinder and information on people like Marcus Garvey and reggae music icon Bob Marley. There are slavery traps for example that date back to the 18th century which was used to capture escaping slaves. The MuseumĪfter the feeding station, you’ll come upon the museum filled with artifacts from the past to present day. They’re gentle and won’t bite you (trust me). Don’t be scared to give it a shot (it’s not uncommon for girls to freak out). With arms outstretched, the keeper will fill your hands with bird feed, and they’ll come flying in to have a snack.įeed bags cost $100 Jamaican dollars, and I assume you can get a few if there’s more than one person.
This is a unique experience for the kids and also the adults. Pure beauty!Īt the budgie feeding station, you get the chance to enter into a big bird cage with over 50 (my rough estimate) parakeets. You’ll also come across the natural flowing, purified spring river which adds that extra touch of awesome to the experience. There’s always a fact or two you can learn. Some Jamaicans, on the other hand often opt to skip this part. Plant lovers (especially tourists from European countries) will love this. The first part of the tour is a trek through the “rainforest.” You’ll be introduced to many of the plants and trees native to the island as well as a few which were imported. Upon arriving, you’ll be greeted by a staff member who will welcome you to the property and take you to the main office where you pay your entry fee.Īfter this, you’re assigned one of the fantastic tour guides whose duty it is to show you around. Some of the artifacts of the museum on the property are reminiscent of our history.īut enough about that for now, let’s talk about the tour and why I love it so much! The Konoko Tour and Experience The name “Konoko” itself means rainforest and is a word belonging to the Arawaks (the original inhabitants of Jamaica).
