Itinerary
Good hope is a 2000-acre plantation paradise on the edge of Jamaica’s famous Cockpit Country. The ultimate chill-out spot with a shot of adrenaline! Immaculate grounds flank the Martha Brae river, amongst beautiful 18th C stone buildings. Walks, river tubing, ziplines and fascinating architecture are brought to life by excellent guides. Delicious Jamaican country-style food and Caribbean bars are found next to a vast zero-entry swimming pool, boasting 6 wading pools up to a 50ft waterfall with plunge pool. We have nurtured nature so you can experience it at its best.

Traveler reviews
Praises
Both Chevon and Jahiem were great. Honestly none of these guides get paid enough for what they do. They are out in the heat all day and have to deal with rude people all while having a smile and keeping guests safe. If Chukka valued their employees, they would get paid more. It's because of the work the employees do that guest keep coming. I can only speak on Chevon and Jahiem because they were my guides. But I'm sure the other guides are great too. I hope my ebike guide was Jahiem? I can't remember his name. He was a cute thing, wore black ski mask, short beared, and has braids.
Fun time
Fun way to see the island , the raft and zip line guys are great.
Had an amazing time ☺️
Exceptional staff! Although the weather was not at its best, our guide gave us an awesome experience.
Good day out
We did bamboo and rafting & tubing the 2 guides on tubing were Tareek & Nasheem Both were amazing and so funny but my partner was so scared of water they helped him and made him feel completely safe 10☆ for these 2 guys
Fun in the Jungle
Another great outing at Chukka - this time at the EcoOutpost at Good Hope - Transfers from/to Iberostar were on good...Great time ziplining with Fizz and Lady Gaga...relaxing cruise and massage down the Martha Brae with Captain Morgan (first time someone did a handstand on his raft!) and a pleasant lounge around the silky smooth fresh pool water. Nice to see my girl Sabrena in the gift shop...
