The first ackee tree in Jamaica was planted from a seed brought to the island by the captain of a slave ship in 1778. The fruit is not widely eaten but in Ghana the flowers are used to make a perfume and the seeds are used as a narcotic to catch fish. The seedling was taken to England by Captain Bligh and there the plant was given the botanical name, Blighia sapida. Its original name was ‘akye’ from Twi language of West Africa.


Away from the beach, there is an entire world waiting to be discovered. Jamaica’s past is rich with legends alive in our countless great houses, churches, forts and old homes…

Chukka Caribbean Adventure's Zion Bus Line
Total Tour time – 5 hours This tour is exclusive and limited to 25 passengers This tour is for adults only – 18 years and older Complimentary refreshments (Rum Punch, Fruit Punch and Water) are served at each scheduled stop. Snack Stop with tasty Jamaican Patties along the way. Authentic Jamaican Country Bus Features: State of the art DVD Stereo System, Cooling Fans and Chrome Air Horns. Our authentic Jamaican Country Bus, the “Zion Bus Line”, will take you on a unique tour from Island Village in Ocho Rios, via Claremont to the Birthplace and final resting place of the King of Reggae, Bob Marley. This tour has been specifically designed for Reggae Enthusiasts and hardcore Bob Marley fans, who would like to visit the “Graceland” of Reggae. The bus ride is a virtual tour of scenic, rural St. Ann. Rock to the rhythm of Bob’s greatest hits as your “dreadlock” driver negotiates the narrow winding country roads to the Mountain village of Nine Miles. Level the vibes with an IRIE Rum Punch and listen carefully as your “ductor” (guide) tells tales of the life and times of young Bob and how he grew up in the hills of St. Ann. On the return trip via Higgin Town and St. Ann’s Bay, stop at the local Jerk Centre for an authentic Jamaican lunch treat of Jerk Pork & Chicken, Rice & Peas, Festival and “Belly Wash” Lemonade . After lunch we will return to Island Village Shopping and Entertainment Centre for half an hour (30 Minutes) where you can visit: Reggae Xplosion (at an additional cost), Eight Rivers Slots, Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville or the Duty Free Shops before being transferred back to your hotel. If you are a baby boomer who was hip to the 60’s & 70’s music of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Jimmy Cliff or if you are now a fan of Shaggy, Beenie Man and the Dance Hall phenomenon, this is a Reggae experience you can’t miss. A MUST FOR EVERY REGGAE ENTHUSIAST ! ! !
