Discover - Jamaica

Discover Jamaica on our sustainable and culturally enlighting trip in March 2021, suitable for travellers from all walks of life. 
 
Join like-hearted travellers whose philosophy is simple: that authentic, enriching travel has transformative powers, and that everyone should be able to experience the spiritual and emotional growth it brings.  On this tour, we create safe, soulful, and story-worthy travel experiences and we want every journey to be blessed with social, spiritual, and sustainable stories. 
 
We do not stay in foreign-owned resorts, instead, we only support locally-owned businesses. Enjoy an exquisite 5-course farm-to-table meal at the 'Stush in the Bush' organic farm. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy Jamaica’s beautiful nature and swim in waterfalls, beaches, and lagoons. We’ll hike up the famous Blue Mountains, visit a humble and welcoming Rasta community and challenge all stereotypes one might have about the island and its beautiful people. 
 
This won’t be about all-day tanning, beachside braids, and gift shop Rasta hats (not that there’s anything wrong with that); we just want to rejuvenate you in a different way. After all, we travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us, right? We want to share the glory, struggles, and beauty of this island, an incredibly moving island, as you will find out!
