AMAZING ADVENTURES AT GOOD HOPE
The region’s major adventure tour provider, Chukka Caribbean offers a host of thrilling tours to island visitors and residents and many prestigious awards have been bestowed on the company. The Green Globe Certified company that operates 35 tours in Jamaica, Belize and the Turks & Caicos Islands, delivered over 400,000 adventure tours to cruise and hotel guests in 2010. With the February 2011 arrival of the first cruise ship into the newly constructed Falmouth Shipping Pier, Chukka Caribbean Adventures has launched another amazing attraction at the historic Good Hope Estate.
Located near the new port of Falmouth, 20 minutes from Montego Bay in the picturesque Cockpit Country, Chukka at Good Hope has certainly managed to showcase the important role this property played in Jamaica’s history. Everyone who was familiar with the stunning Good Hope Estate before its transformation will quickly acknowledge that its landscape and historic charm has in no way been disturbed. Says John Byles, Chukka’s Co-Managing Director, “True to our brand, we are keeping everything as natural as possible, all tours are designed to ensure that we minimize the footprint such as platforms for our zip lines are mounted with ropes, belts and suspension cables so no nails or bolts have to be driven in the trees.” Ropes for the zip lines are manufactured from special materials NASA uses in their space program, which reduce the noise when people go zipping through the jungle.
With buildings and ruins scattered around the 2,000 acre property, few spots offer so much to discover in one place and Chukka at Good Hope provides an endless option of adventures, history and culinary experiences. This site offers to everyone, regardless of tour taken, the viewing of a world class potter in residence, exhibitions of original sugar cane crushing technique, and the interesting incorporation of 250 year old buildings into the main amenities area. There is lots to do, adding value to the more adventuresome at heart.
The Chukka team has done an amazing job blending the old world charm of Good Hope with modern conveniences, making it the destination of 11 different adventures smacked into lush plant life, primary jungle and scenic views of the majestic Martha Brae river.
Chukka at Good Hope launched its adventures with the arrival of the first ever cruise ship; ‘The Voyager of the Seas’ into the newly constructed Falmouth Shipping Pier, a vessel carrying 3,500 passengers and 1,500 crew members. Conveniently located in the vicinity of the new pier, the new attraction provides a much needed adventure offer to day visitors. Chukka continues to improve and expand its experiences to meet the changing needs of visitors. The company has a history of developing new and unique adventure experiences in the Caribbean. In 2010, Chukka received the World Travel Award as the “Caribbean’s Leading Nature Adventure Excursion Operator” for the fourth consecutive year.
