Wag Water at Prospect Estate is located on the dreamy Prospect Estate. It is a superb location, and the villa enjoys a superb waterfront location. It is just a short distance from the picturesque town of Ocho Rios, one mile east of the White River, which separates the parishes of St Ann and St Mary. The estate enjoys a fabulous history and is absolutely gorgeous.
Ocho Rios is a fabulous location enjoying stunning scenery, renowned attractions, world-class resorts, vast shopping options and a fantastic dining scene. The locals call it ‘the garden parish’ as abundance awaits in the forms of greenery, flavours and variety. You will discover stunning beaches, the roar of waterfalls flowing into the Caribbean Sea and lush forests. Its highlights include the popular Dunn’s River Falls, Mystic Mountain Rainforest, Margaritaville, the Goldeneye Estate of James Bond fame, its craft market and Port Maria with its national heritage sites. Ocho Rios means eight rivers, though there are actually only four rivers in the area: Cave River, Roaring River, Turtle River and Dunns River.
Though you may be tempted to relax and rejuvenate on the estate, Jamaica is an extraordinarily beautiful island where you can discover natural beauty, history and heritage. Its mountain range rises to almost seven thousand feet, there are incredible rivers that flow and tumble through verdant valleys, and some of the world’s most prized coffee is grown. You can book a four-wheel drive tour to discover this amazing landscape, drift down the Martha Brae on a bamboo raft, travel up the Black River to observe crocodiles made famous in the James Bond film Live and Let Die, take a dip in the bracing waters of YS Falls or climb the terraced waterfall at Dunn’s River Falls. Cascading water drops a dramatic six hundred feet within tropical greenery at the falls. You can join an organised climb up the limestone tiers and follow this with a swim at the beach below. Dunn’s River Falls is one of Jamaica’s national treasures. Deep sea sport fishing is also very popular, hunting for tuna, marlin and swordfish. Swimming with dolphins goes down a treat, and dune buggy safaris head off in the wilderness to explore some of Jamaica’s more remote areas.
The Prospect Estate Concierge Team can organise many trips for you. The Yaaman Adventure Park was known as Prospect Plantation in the 18th century. You will enjoy nature, wildlife, and so much more when taking a Yaaman Adventure Tour. You can take an open-air carriage, a camel safari, go horseback riding, visit the butterfly aviary and feed the ostriches. At Dolphin Cove, a very special excursion, you will swim with dolphins, interact with stingrays or visit a shark show. This natural cove is surrounded by five acres of lush rainforest. It is such a wonderful experience to swim with the dolphins in the natural Caribbean Sea plus enjoy the company of different fish, rays and other forms of sea life. When not swimming, you can stroll through the estate taking the Jungle Trail, where you will notice different wild animals, plants and trees.
You can tour one hundred acres of rainforest in the mountains, seven hundred foot above sea level at Mystic Mountain. Here, you can experience the SkyExplorer, Bobsled Ride, Canopy Zipline and Mystic Waterslide. The Bobsled Ride was inspired by the famous Jamaican bobsled Olympic team and is the park’s signature attraction. You will be strapped into a custom-designed sled and whooshed down a one thousand-metre-long track installed into the side of the mountain. Amazing!
Chukka Caribbean Adventures take you through the jungle rainforest on ziplines, on a catamaran cruise and to Dunn’s River Falls. There are also horseback ride and swim sessions, river tubing, visits to mysterious limestone caves, tours of Bob Marley, the King of Reggae’s home and food and rum tours.
Golf fans will be very happy. There are many excellent courses, including the closest at the Sandals Resort. Its rolling fairways enjoy sweeping views of the sea and mountains. This magnificent 18-hole course rises seven hundred feet above sea level in the lush hills of Ocho Rios with a practice range, putting and chipping greens, shop and restaurant.
