MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA

Departing from the quayside, we shall begin our tour with a scenic bus journey along the coat, passing by the quaint town of Falmouth on our way to the Braco Stables.

Braco Great House was built in the mid 18th century and was originally a successful sugar plantation and refinery with numerous slaves. The original building still stands and currently houses a pimento leaf oil factory. Oil is extracted from the leaves, through a condensation process, this oil is then exported and used in the preservation of meat and also as a base for many perfumes.

Trail masters will pair us with a horse to match our riding ability, and then we’re off, weaving our way through the countryside! Meander back in time, to the sweet life on Braco Estate and its gardens brimming with pimento trees, bougainvillaea and fishtail palms. At a cove we shall prance bareback into the turquoise surf!

After a truly wonderful couple of hours or so, we’ll relax with a cool drink before returning to the pier in Montego Bay.
