This tour includes an escape to two, lesser-known spots near Ocho Rios that will allow you to relax in exotic ways. Firewater Pond is found at the end of a winding, rutted road leading up to a secluded grotto. The pond is said to have healing properties due to the high concentration of minerals. But it’s the methane that seeps up into the water from the ground below that gives the pond its name.
The second stop, Bamboo Beach, offers loungers set up right at the ocean’s edge, where the water will lap at your toes. Walk into the crystal-clear turquoise water, and chances are, you’ll see a few tiger-striped fish darting just beneath the surface. The temperature of the water? Like bath water, set to suit you.
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. Suitable for all physical fitness levels. We will plan to spend about 45 minutes to an hour at firewater pond, and two hours at the beach. With travel time, the entire excursion will require about 4 hours.
Look for a black Nissan Serena, with an Up 'N Active logo on the side. Pick-up will be at 9 a.m. to assure we arrive at the beach at the most uncrowded time, unless we discuss a different time in advance.
