Chukka Caribbean Updating Falmouth’s Good Hope

By: - April 17th, 2017

Tour company Chukka Caribbean Adventures is upgrading its famous Good Hope property in Falmouth, Jamaica.

The company will be embarking on a $4 million enhancement project.

“The Chukka Good Hope property is the kind of facility that will certainly be a pull factor in bringing more visitors to the island,” said Paul Pennicook, Jamaica’s Director of Tourism. “I was accompanied by some key members of the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association on a visit to the property and we were all blown away. It is truly another piece of jewellery in Chukka’s growing collection.”

The Good Hope tour includes a zip line canopy, ATV and dune buggy adventures, jungle river tubing and kayaking and Appleton Rum tastings, along with a great house tour and a bird aviary, all set across 17 buildings.

“The addition of the Adventure Falls has created an even more family fun atmosphere, which features a six pool terraced playground, a 50-foot cascading waterfall, and a 300-foot slide that spills into a 14,000 square feet pool,” said John Byles, CEO of Chukka Caribbean Adventures.

“There is a wow factor on arrival here at the facility, which is very difficult if not impossible to duplicate. There is also something for everyone to gravitate towards. We believe in giving our guests a wide variety of options where they will always remember this experience. Whenever we put a memory into something, it usually last for a lifetime,” he said.

Chukka offers 60 tours in Belize, Jamaica and Turks and Caicos.
