Kool Running Waterpark

So for the last event on my last day I went to Kool Running Waterpark.This waterpark had 10 waterslides the price of admission isnt as bad as you would first expect.Right next to the park is a go go-kart track and a bungee trampoline.The park has 4 really good authentic jamaican reastraunts.

Now to the waterslides,They like I said earlier have 10 waterslides.One of the biggest and best slides there is The Jamaican Bobsled.You sit on a inner tube and slide down a yellow slide periodically going through a dark tunnel.The waterpark was a good way to end my time here in Jamaica.So if you ever get the chance to come to Jamaica it is incredible.

Green Gotto Caves

Between Ochos Rios and Montengo Bays underground is the Green Gotto Caves.  I took the tour wanting to see the diffrent caves and what they looked like. The Green Gotto River runs throught he bowels of the cave. The cave is 1252 feet long and 12 meters deep.It is cool and calm inside the cave.

I was looking for adventure and I definatly found it inside the Green Gotto Caves. In the cave there is multiple rooms my group and me explored.One of the best parts about the cave is it is cool and you get out of the hot jamaican air.

Day:3 Shopping in Kingston

I heard from other tourists and locals that if you want to go get unique souviners you should go to Kingston.So that evening I walked the streets of Kingston looking at local craftsmens work everyonce in a while you would see the occasional street performer.Going to Kingston is a fun laid back time you will enjoy greatly.

Scuba Diving

Off the coast of Negril is a scuba diving site called Coral Gardens.Coral Gardens is always warm the water is a toasty 80 degrees.While scuba I saw some pretty cool stuff like diffrent kinds and colors of fish and alot of sea plant life. The water was crystal clear and you could see multicolored coral from the boat.A exciting part of scuba diving is finding and exploring underwater caves.I dont really like swimming in the ocean but this expirience wasnt that bad.

The tour guides there give you plenty of chances to see and take pictures and see the driffrent kinds of fishes.You can touch the coral reefs or just simply take your pictures and leave.Thats the cool part of this expirience you can do and see almost anything you want.











Horseback Riding

Along the Papillion Cove you can ride horses throug the water and even swim in the water if you dont feel like riding your horse.The trip is about 2.5 hours but time will fly since your having fun.Your tour guide will make a couple of stops along the way to explain or tell you what some of the landmarks or sea life is.Horse back riding is just a short fun event to kind of help you relax but trust me if you go on this tour dont forget to wear or bring sun tan lotion.

Day:2 Dolphinn Cove

Dolphin Cove is located in Ochos Rios but runs through St.Anns, Jamaica.They had so much stuff for us guest to participate in.My personal favorite was the interactive stingray exihbit were you dive into a aquarium with stingrays and you get to pet and feed them.Swimming with the dolphins was fun because you could get in the pool with them and swim around.

.The last big attraction at Dolohin Cove is swimming and feeding the sharks.You get to swim in their pool and touch them feed them and really just do anything you want.So the Dolphin Cove is a nice family friendly location for anyone to visit.

Animal Farm

The last attraction for the day is a Animal Farm in Copse,Hanover,Jamaica.  At the animal farm they show exotic or endangered birds.They also have many other animals like pigs,goats,sheep and a donkey named Boxer.At the farm they are very green they use solar panals and bio gas for cooking oil.Although I dont have any the Animal Farm is a great place for kids.
