Although these jeeps are painted with zebra stripes, there haven't been any zebra sightings yet on this safari. The tour takes five hours and guests are taken to the world famous Fern Gully to look at indigenous flora and fauna. Then they are swept up 2,000 feet above sea level to Jamaica's highest peak, Mount Murphy. On a clear day, Cuba can be seen from this point as well as the cruise ports and the city of Ocho Rios. Refreshments and food are included into the tour's ticket price. Along the way to these locations, the tour will pass through small villages where guests are encouraged to pick and eat fruit from trees. Jamaica's rich history and culture are on display in this tour. The highlight of the tour is climbing 600 feet up the Dunn's River Falls, where guests can dip in the cool water.
