Hooves is a family owned attraction in operation for over 20 years, committed to offering our guests a unique experience on horseback. Members of our staff have been with us for more than fourteen years, and are very experienced, and able to give you the best of care. Many of our horses are rescued and brought back to good health, happy to take you into the sea. We are located in St Ann's Bay on the north coast of Jamaica near to Ocho Rios hotels and cruise ship pier. Guests also come on special tours from the cruise shop pier in Falmouth which provides an opportunity to see other attractions au route. Located on a World Heritage Site and sanctioned by The Jamaica National Heritage Trust and the Jamaica Tourist Board we are humbled by the task we have to provide our guests with accurate information on well trained horses with modern equipment for a safe and wonderful experience. Hooves has many return guests, some who have come on our Honeymoon ride, returning years later with their children. Often we have guests asking for particular horses and guides and when asked if they had been with us before, they reply "Oh a friend recommended you" Trip Advisor has been a wonderful help to us with the many kind comments made, so please remember to add to those. We are continually striving to improve our service and you comments are taken seriously.

Great Historic Landmark to visit. I wish we could have gone in, the stop was very brief but it was still nice to visit the birthplace of this great man!

We spent a fantastic time (c90 mins) at Seville Great House in the company of our guide, Eldon. Eldon is a passionate, knowledgeable and extremely informative guide. He has a great depth of knowledge on Jamaican history (in which us Scots bear great responsibility!) plus the history of the house and surrounding estate. We also spent time at the end discussing contemporary Jamaica, some British history & politics. I would highly recommend this historical attraction if you want to learn about Jamaica. Thanks Eldon.

Aside from the spiritual experience of visiting Mr Marley’s birth- and final resting place, we particularly enjoyed the coolest guide ever, nicknamed “Barkey”, inspiring us with his great love for Bob and the positive message of Rastafarianism. RESPECT, man ❤️
10. Firewater Mineral Healing Spring

Reviewed By 189sharifag
On a recent visit to my homeland I attempted to locate Firewater and upon inquiry found out that it was situated in my very backyard not far away from Discovery Bay where I attended school as a young girl. I set off with my cousin and a friend and we found our way to the site without any difficulty in Windsor, St. Ann's Bay. Yes, the surrounding track over rough rugged terrain begs to be renovated as a community project; however, once under the power and spiritual awakening as one relaxes in the water and is gripped by the tingling pulsation of the healing waters vibratory frequency you quickly lose memory of the turbulence to the site and begs to continue this enamored sensation with the ebb and flow of the water from deep within the belly of 'Mother Earth'. No doubt, if you journey with the expectation of obtaining a miraculous fix to any internal ailment you will very well not benefit from this experience as nature has no quick fix irregardless of any promise made to the contrary by anyone; however, if you are able to open yourself to the tremendous spiritual healing that can only result from consecutive repeat visits of a week or more no doubt you might leave with a higher spiritual awakening and witness the start of optimal healing that continues therefrom. I visited the waters for seven (7) days after observing the improvement of my failing sight which continued to improve with each visit with an increased release of mucous from my eyes that at first was actually 'scary'; however, I realized with each visit I was only witnessing the healing power of 'Nature's Gift' to my sight and body. My one regret is that I had not discovered this 'divine' natural gift from earlier to have visited for at a minimum 21 days without interruption each morning. I am back in the States where the therapeutic healing of the pain to my wrist and ankle sustained from a severe fall continues to be almost all gone; except with any great twisting of the wrist; however, I continue to be pain free otherwise unlike prior to experiencing Nature's Gift of 'Firewater'. My experience and daily encounters with Keven and Police were extremely a great one and I was never pressured once whenever I was asked to participate in a massage which I only accepted once during my seven visits to the site. I openly witness Kevin sharing the facility to young and old from the immediate area free of charge and would like to see the power of community organization to beautify the area for the benefit of the entire community as truly this is a remarkable divine gift from 'nature' that ought to benefit the community and preserved for posterity for generations to come; however, only if organized and developed through community efforts. Do bring lots of 'natural body' conditioner as the mineral content of the water is extremely high and will require daily moisturizing if you visit for several days as I did for prolong periods beyond 15 minutes. I will definitely be back next visit to my beautiful homeland and have been spreading the word of this natural and divine gift to us situated in a rural village area of Windsor, St. Ann's Bay. It truly is not hidden as it is not far from the main highway once you get off at the St. Ann's Bay exit. Please give yourself a treat for a minimum immersion for wellness purpose of at least 30 minutes. I would immerse my head in its entirety beneath the flames just immediately above the source of the water into the bath with my eyes opened wide as the water bathe them. It only burn a bit for the first few seconds for me and thereafter my eyes adjusted as I would come up for air and immerse my head several more times to bathe my eyes, wrist or ankle at the source. I will definitely take my bath cap the next trip as luckily I have 'locs' and so wasn't too concern with my hair being wet; however, I did get much sand in my head from being so close to the bottom. A word of caution again, if one is open to receive healing, if that's the purpose of your visit, please remember that healing can only come when the conduits are open and the pathway is made clear to do so without any false expectation of 'quick-fix'. Nature will heal in her own time once one is willing to put the effort and work to obtain optimal wellness through consistency and patience. Then and only then will you begin to witness the healing power from her divine healing waters. I marvel as I welcome each new day and give thanks with gratitude that I continue to remain pain-free and witness my eyes, wrist and ankle increase in strength. This I can unequivocally attribute to the healing power of Nature's Firewater in Windsor, St. Ann's Bay. Asante Sana one and all who shared in this experience with me until the next time. I don't use mobile devices and so the friends with whom I initially visited took pictures that I have not yet gotten copies of since returning to the States; but, trust me, it's like nothing I have ever experienced in a total body, mind and spirit rejuvenation.
