Anytime! During the rainy season, from June to November each year, we recommend choosing a morning tour to escape the afternoon rains.

Our tours last approximately 1.5 hours at minimum.

You can stay as long as you like after your your tour(s) to picnic and explore as long as your presence does not interfere with any other activity taking place on the farm at that time. We close at 5 p.m.

Yes, we charge approximately $40 USD round trip from central Montego Bay for up to 2 persons.

No, toddlers up to 3 years of age are free of charge!

School tours are our specialty! From tiny animal-loving tots to curious teenagers, we ensure that our tours are both educational and fun!

The farm is mainly dedicated to aviculture, so birds are predominant, but we have a cow, a sheep, a goat, rabbits, and guinea pigs as well. We also have the Jamaican Boa or Yellow Snake and the American Crocodile, both of which are protected species and kept with permission of the Natural Resources and Conservation Authority of Jamaica.

We have drinks and snacks on sale and lunch can be arranged at the time of booking. Your other options are to a) bring your own food and drink and/or b) rent our grilling kit and have a cookout.

You do not have to get wet when rafting but it's a good idea to wear shorts and canvas or rubber shoes (all the better to enjoy a relaxing limestone foot massage). Some visitors choose to wear swimwear and coverups to truly shine in their personal photoshoots! The best case scenario is having a change of clothes and shoes if you book a rafting tour.

You may cancel a reservation without penalty up to 24 hours beforehand.

Expect comfort and simplicity from our solar-powered, wooden eco-cottages. The cottages are clean and simply furnished with double to queen size beds, small tables, indoor and outdoor chairs, and books. With the exception of the purple Cottage by the River, our cottages are designed with the kitchens on separate floors than the bedrooms. Our eco-duplex is outfitted with modern showers, fridges, stoves, ceiling fans, and kitchen essentials so that you can comfortably cook. All windows are meshed but insects and lizards do sometimes join in on short-term rentals; mosquito nets are available. A shared outdoor washing tub and line are also available. Hot water, parking, access to the Great River and nature trails... what more do you need. Luxury views and atmosphere guaranteed plus the quirky bonus of sometimes noisy farm animals (cue the guinea fowl chorus) to really turn up the charm of an experience at Animal Farm & Nature Reserve.

The nearest shops, attractions and restaurants are 2 miles away. The farm is located in a small rural district with limited public transportation. As such, we will be available to assist our guests in acquiring meals and in arranging transportation when needed.

Cottages are rented with soap, toilet paper, and towels. Other toiletries are available on sale in our gift shop.

We are off the beaten track where there is no vehicular traffic and can be peaceful and quiet, but can also get quite noisy with the sounds of the numerous chickens, guinea fowl, and other birds on the farm, including at night.

No one is allowed entry to your room without your knowledge and permission.

You may cancel a reservation on Airbnb without penalty up to 24 hours beforehand.

Copse Valley Organic Produce is available for purchase at the farm. We also facilitate purchases from Freeport Shopping Centre in Montego Bay. Delivery is available for bulk orders.
