A SEGWAY INTO LIFE

History meets modern technology as you explore an 18th century estate on a clean, green, eco-friendly machine.  The Segway PT (Personal Transporter) is the next generation in clean, personal mobility.  Stepping on to your Segway will give you a glimpse into the future as you feel as though this intelligent machine is actually reading your mind, taking you in any direction your touch guides it.

After a brief orientation, helmet fitting and Segway lesson you will embark on a fascinating adventure as you begin your exploration of one Jamaica’s oldest Estates.
Your experienced Segway guide will lead you throughout this tour, stopping to allow for photo opportunities and giving you historic tails of this amazing plantation and those that once inhabited it.

Be amazed as you ride along a path surrounded by wooded forest.  Your guide will point out many plants and trees along the way, whose secret medicinal powers are still being used today.

Your adventure will take you to the beautiful great house gardens.  Here you will dismount your Segway and enjoy a refreshing bottle of water as you marvel at the beautiful flora that makes this garden so breathtaking.  Be amazed at the panoramic view of the tropical forest as it descends to meet the glistening Caribbean Sea below.

Continue your unique journey as you mount your Segway and head to “Farmer Joe” who will amaze you as he effortlessly climbs a 30 foot coconut tree.  Enjoy sampling Farmer Joe’s fresh fruits of the season, before journeying to the Estates Chapel.

This non-denominational chapel was partially built by cadets in 1969.  Its paneling, chairs and furnishing were all made from a wide range of Jamaican woods found on the Estate grounds.  

Then Segway back to the tour center where you can enjoy a stroll through the secret gardens or browse the estates gift shop for unique souvenirs.

Return to your hotel in air conditioned comfort as you savor the memories of this unique journey through time.
