Croydon In The Mountains

This was the best part of our Jamaican trip. The ride here was a bit bumpy but so worth it. Along the way there was a natural waterfall on the road which was really cool to see. Croydon is a huge pineapple farm along with many other different types of fruits. The best part was trying all the fruits. The view of the mountains was also gorgeous. There is a lunch served after your long walk. Make sure you try the organic ginger tea, I've never tasted a drink that good before.

If you are looking for an incredible experience off the beaten track, and want to see the real rural Jamaica, do not miss this amazing place.
The ride from MoBay takes about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on your resort, and while the road can be a little bumpy, it already offers amazing views. Once you arrive at Croydon, prepare to be amazed! You will get a very informational speech about the country and the plantation, home to one of the National Heroes of Jamaica, Sam Sharpe. Then you'll learn about coffee and honey, and observe some gorgeous hummingbirds. At this point you will move through the stunning property observing all sorts of trees and sampling so many varieties of pineapple and tasty fruits, juices and ginger beer. You will meet knowledgeable, friendly and passionate people that make the experience even more pleasant, and conclude the tour with one of the best Jamaican lunches you could dream of. Don't forget to drink the coconut water and to eat the jelly!!!
I recommend the experience to groups, couples, families with children, even young ones: this attraction is definitely eco and family friendly. Excellent for nature and animal lovers. One of the best, truly authentic excursions in the country, that you don't want to miss.

This was the Best place ever. We got to try 10 different pineapples. They were all awesome. I wish we had them in America. Our trip also came with an authentic Jamaican meal. It was great. I highly recommend. Make sure you book with the ride because it's a 2 hour drive up the mountains. They also have awesome bananas. I assumed because it was green it would not be ripe. Best banana ever. The tour requires a lot of walking. I wouldn't recommend if you cannot walk in high humidity for 2 hours. You will stop and go but it's still all outdoors.

Loved this place! I took a tour with Winston and he was the best ever! The property and views from the hills were breathtaking. You get to try local produce from the plantation along with delicious drinks. Food was provided at the end of the tour. The plantation is a must see. I didnt know it was so many varieties of fruits such as bananas, pineapple, and mango.

Great tour with wonderful tour guide, who met our group shortly after we arrived. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. One of the best spots I have visited while my Jamaican gateway.

If you are in Jamaica and planning to go on any trips, this is the one you have to do. Forget all the other excursions, this experience was by far the best we have ever had. The tour of the plantation, the fruits, the tasting. You don't get these chances often.

The history of the original founder its breathtaking

What a lovely plantation and tour presentation! After touring the plantation, we were shown the process of coffee making, from plant to cup. We then sat down and enjoyed a wonderfully smooth cup of 100% Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. Of course we bought some beans to bring back home.

I have to agree this is the best part of Jamaica. The variety of fruits and flowers on the plantation is unbelievable. The experience of walking through the farm, seeing and most importantly tasting all the fruits is amazing. You also get a better understanding of the country, it's history and how important Jamaica was to the british empire. There is so much to see and do. You can honestly just spend days here instead of just a one day trip. It was also great for our kids, to see and learn, I thought they would complain and not enjoy it but they did. If you are in Jamaica I would say take this trip over all the others. I have done Dunns river, dolphin cove, horse back, lagoon etc, and this was my best experience in Jamaica.

The best tour for nature lovers. Alecia our tour guide was so knowledgeable and the sweetest person ever! The journey up and down the mountain was bumpy but allowed us to see some beautiful scenery and proper country living. We drove through a waterfall just before entering the property. The views from Croydon are breathtaking and there are so many plants/fruits growing there. Everything was delicious and I may have overdone it sampling the pineapples and fruits that I barely had room for lunch. There is moderate walking with some small hills, my 10 year old has some mobility issues but still managed the walk. If you want to experience the real countryside in Jamaica, sample delicious fruits and food and spend time with the most welcoming tour guide in Jamaica I recommend a trip to Croydon in the mountains

This was a great experience. The atmosphere was pure and cool. The tour guide Alicia was very knowledgeable and her personality was welcoming. I enjoyed every step of the way. There was so much about my own country I didnt know. 🤭I enjoyed learning about the bees, the coffee process, the different trees and plants. I didnt know there were so many types of pineapples. The food was great too.

The drive was a little bit rough to the plantation but it was worth the experience. The team was exceptional! I recommend.

Amazing! Definitely worth your time! Our tour guide, Alicia, was great! You see and taste lots of fruit!

The drive to the plantation from Montego Bay was long but it was worth the experience.

The Croydon family was very welcoming. The tour guide Alicia was truly knowledgeable and fun to be around.

It was about an hour, 30 minutes walk, where the tour guide shared her knowledge of the trees and plants on the property. We had breaks on the walk where we'd sample the fruits on the property.

The journey ended with an authentic Jamaican lunch and we sampled coffee.

Overall, the trip was very rewarding, a walk in the cool hills of Catadupa, in fresh air, great staff and good tasting food. If you are ever in Jamaica, this will be an experience worth doing.

A very welcoming place to visit with amazing views. The tour was very imformative and to be able to sample the foods grown here was amazing.

Exceptional.tour be able.to walk for at least 20 mins..Alicia was sooo knowledgeable...great food and info..couldn't ask for anything more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this tour and especially our tour guide Alicia! We learned so much about Jamaica on this tour, the staff and owners at Croydon were so welcoming. The grounds were beautiful and are well cared for. It was very clear that this is a gem in Jamaica. We will definitely spread the word.

Well worth the scarey drive up into the rainforest. The guide was so informative. Fruits were tastes of heaven. Lunch was delicious. Cocktails lethal.

Great tour you learn about the owner and all the things planted at the location tour guides are friendly and answer all your questions you also get to try 9 different types of pineapples

Beautiful location for nature lovers.

We there on a cruise way back in 2006. Can’t wait to go back!! Best fruits that I’ve ever tasted. 10 different types of pineapples! And those green tangerines? The sweetest ever!!
