We visited Sun Valley Plantation on a rainy morning in February 2012. Despite the less than perfect weather we had a fantastic time. Brian, our guide, was so enthusiastic about the fauna and flora of the plantation and led us around at a leisurely pace, letting us smell and taste the many plants and fruits of Jamaica. This plantation is... More

I loved my tour of Sun Valley Plantation! I was amazed at how much is growing on this plantation. It seems like anything that can grow in Jamaica is grown here at Sun Valley. The owner, Lorna, knows every blade of grass on the property. Lorna gives a very detailed tour and includes a lot of useful information about the... More

If you are looking for an un-touristy tourist attraction, this is it! A family-run plantation off the beaten track, about a 45 minute drive from Ochos Rios, just past the little town of Jacks River. We were met at the gate by Lorna and her son Brian who served us juice from their own garden, then took us around the... More

We went to the plantation as part of a day trip with Mark's Tours (highly recommended- we used him twice during our stay in Ocho Rios. He was wonderful and his prices far better than anything Sandals could offer). Lorna was an excellent host. Her knowledge of plants and fruits, and their medicinal properties was fascinating. We saw hummingbirds and... More

We (my wife and her parents) just completed a Western Caribbean Cruise on the Freedom of the Seas. Our second stop was Ocho Rios and we wanted to do something that would really let us understand Jamaican culture. We booked a tour of the Sun Valley Plantation with Mark Morris of Mark's Tours and were not disappointed. I contacted him... More

Our tour operator suggested this plantation tour and we are so glad that he did. The tour was a personal tour from the owner who is extremely knowledgable and so sweet and friendly. The road to the plantation is long, uphill, and extremely bumpy but it is worth every pothole. The plantation is beautiful. Lorna has a little bit of... More

My family had the pleasure of revisiting Sun Valley Plantation June 28, 2010. The trees, the view, the coconut water, the fruits, the education, and the hospitality. If you have not visited Sun Valley Plantation, your Jamaican vacation has been incomplete. More

We had a great time there. For us (comming from middle Europe) it was like a fairy tale. The great lady who knew so many things about the plants showed us all the fruits and told us all we wanted to know.(Even more.. :-) ). It was also very nice to move outside (garden-like) and stay in a nice shadow...... More

Had a great time at Sun Valley Plantation, it is not your average plantation tour with jitneys driving you around. They give you a very personal walking tour where you are able to see, touch and taste the fruits on the property. The owner, Lorna Binns is a wealth of knowledge on Jamaica as well as the plants, trees and... More
