The Real Jamaica on the Natural Rasta Way

Rappa Rasta Tours is a co-creation of Rappa Rasta and Sandra Smits (InspiringVibes). It all started in 2013 with an idea, and after writing an online travel guide, creating the face book page and website, we got serious requests for tours, starting from 2014. Since then we have only grown.

Most people who join our multiple day tours are curious, adventurous and want to see the real Jamaica; authentic and unique. Slow travelling; a peaceful way to explore.

How we work?

Our site has standard tours, in addition we make day and multi-day tours on request; specialized to your wishes. It’s your choice of going off the beaten path or visiting hot spots or having a mix of both. In any way you will have lots of fun!

Tours listed are based on a private tour of at least 2 persons with our 7-seater Pajero Jeep.
You will be picked up from your hotel.
Our local Rasta Tour Guide, Rappa, will share his knowledge about nature, herbs, culture and history.

Fair travelling

We support local businesses and care for the poor. Tipping is part of the deal and we encourage you to buy local food or arts and crafts along the way, directly from the craftsman.
