This was a terrible experience. First they did not tell us they didn’t accept card and when we were trying to to figure things out “queen” locked the gates and wouldn’t let us move until we figured out how to pay. It was very uncomfortable and made me feel unsafe and unwelcome. We were able to get cash and then we began.
We walked in. Saw 6-10 plants with minimal explanation then sat with “king” who told us about drumming for a few minutes.
Then we sat in the sun for an hour until other guests arrived. Very unorganized. We cooked one tiny pot of coconut milk and vegetables and fired some bammy to make a snack—no respectable person could call it a meal. Then listened to a gentleman speak about the community history for about 20 minutes—he was nice and good, in contrast to “queen.”
Overall this was an overpriced poorly done experience. Would NOT recommended. $150 per person for this is a joke. It should be $25 dollars. I would rather donate $150 to a community than get scammed into it and waste 4 hours of our vacation. We initially wanted to go to Stush In The Bush and I deeply regret not going there instead. My friend went there instead and really enjoyed it.
This felt like a scam. “Queen’s” energy was arrogant and unkind. Especially when they tried to make us buy her soaps. It hurt my heart because this was for my mom’s 70th birthday and they may have put me off of the island all together. I won’t be back to Jamaica for a while and this will be one of the main reasons. Buyer beware.

Greetings Overseas community:
We deeply apologise for this very negative experience you had of our Rastafari Indigenous Village community last October. This is not our standard as you can see. Unfortunately, we are not in control of what happens in our human family at all times. In conducting the RIV tour there are many variables, including the weather, access, community members and the expectations of our travelers as presented by the external Tour Guide.
That said, however, we are not making excuses, just following up - with shock and some sadness at your review.
In October we experienced the devastating life transition, of one of our Master Drummers - Queen's partner actually. This may have created negative energy with Queen, (who normally is very shy and introspective but personable). Our entire community and not just one person was devastated.
We certainly are not 'scammers', this is insulting and hurtful based on the amount of work we do.
We are a community of people who are passionate about education, culture, heritage and our creative industries. We share our time and energies with travellers for free! we have volunteers, students and all kinds of mentorship programmes in which we are involved.
Our participation and sharing is not motivated by money, so it is difficult for us to understand why one would have interpreted that the gate was locked by Queen and your group held hostage for payment. Our gate is never locked, sometimes shut if there is a perceived intrusion., but never locked. This is a total misinterpretation.
This is a most unfortunate experience that hurts our hearts also.
Should you return to the island we are more than prepared to offer you and your family our welcoming, community, experience.
Walk Good as you travel the earth.
Blessings

My partner and I enjoyed an engaging and insightful visit to the living Rastafarian Indigenous Village in October 2023. Mid-morning, we were greeted by village resident, Queen I, on the edge of the property. She was ever-present for the remainder of the day, guiding us throughout, tailoring aspects of the visit to our interests and understanding. Her enthusiasm and articulation made her an excellent ambassador for the community. She personalised the stories and information shared, and delivered everything with grace, poise and a glowing smile. Queen I explained the origins of the community, the vision for the future and the Rastafi belief system. We toured the community garden and orchid, the bush bath and, Queen I's personal project, organic soap manufacture (a true delight for the senses, you can purchase on the community's website if interested). We were also fortunate to enjoy a private sit-down conversation with King Toto, one of the community's founders and principle drum maker, about his life and perspectives. And, after participating in the preparation of and relishing a delicious ital (Rastafi Vegan) meal, we spoke with First Man on the evolution of Rastafarianism in Jamaica since the 1930s and the return to Zion. Finally, we savoured an opportunity to participate in a drumming/chanting ceremony in the tabernacle as those willing enjoyed the sacrament (ganja). Unlike many sights in Jamaica, this is not commercialised or mass market. As such, to book this intimate experience contact the community over email or WhatsApp with at least a few days notice and be grateful for the opportunity to engage with an often misunderstood yet influential part of Jamaica's identity, past, present and future. A real treat!

We did the rastafari rhythyms tour and had a great time. Queen I was an amazing guide and teacher about the village life and beliefs. Was so cool looking at all the different plants growing in the garden and how they're used. We especially loved making ital stew with cardolisa and of course spending some time with firstman and learning more about the rastafari community. Do yourself a favor and break out of the hotel for a day and trek to the RIV. The second you slip off your shoes and cross the river you will know you made the right choice.

Words cannot express my experience at RIV. It was outstanding. This tucked away community embodies One Love. The community is passionate about Rasta culture and philosophy including harmony with nature. Everything was a blessing for me: purchasing a drum from King Totto, exposure to Tebah's kindness and dance and drum skills and eating Cardolisa's food (absolutely amazing ital food! Wow! Cardo, please bring your Ital restaurant to Kingston! I am not vegan/vegetarian and I did not miss meat one tiny bit). Stephanie's kindness and hosting came from her heart and Firstman and Queen I's skillful facilitation of my first enagagements with plant medicine was an experience I will never forget. The children were also so sweet. It will take me many months to process and overstand the deep blessing of my experience here. Many months! If you are attracted to the idea of going to RIV, please go. You will not regret it. My hope is that more Jamaicans like myself will enagage with RIV, because I left with such deep pride in my culture and deep desire for the healing of our nation. "Rasta will liberate the people".

We visited in July 2022. This place and above all the people there are absolutely amazing. From the moment First Man picked us up from my father in law's house I felt comfortable and at home. These people have created an amazing space to protect, preserve, and promote their culture. We learnt about healing herbs and potions, Rastafari drumming, crafts, farming, ital food and the Rastafari philosophy. It wasn't cheap but I can honestly say it was money well spent.
I lost my phone in the car on the way back and only realised later. They'd found it and made another long trip back to return it to me without any hesitation. I will never forget about this place or these amazing people

Of course the village experience itself is awesome and so are all the friendly faces that you’ll see, the tasty Ital food you’ll get to eat (and even cook yourself), and all the amazing art and craftwork that you’ll have the opportunity to observe and learn about. But by far the best aspect of this experience is the insights into Rasta culture, beliefs, and history that you’ll receive from all the knowledgeable folks at the village. Everyone was an absolute delight to talk to and interact with and were ready to answer any questions you had about their way of life. The gardens, the soap factory, the kitchen, the village Center, the drum house, and the drum service that you’ll get to hear really make this village feel alive and lived in. Finally, I have to give a special shout-out to First Man, who helped us with transport, booking, pricing and even offered us discounts on our rides to and from the village. More importantly, he gave my girlfriend and I one of the most engaging, introspective, and eye opening car rides ever. We talked about all manners of spiritual and metaphysical topics and concepts that don’t often get discussed in everyday life. He is a deeply wise, warm, and intelligent man who excels at storytelling and breaking difficult concepts down into digestible bits. All in all, if Rastafarianism is about peace with the earth and all it’s inhabitants, then these folks embody that ethos. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested and make sure to grab some friends and family to go along as the price is more manageable in larger groups. To all my friends at the village, I’ll be seeing you again very soon!

I am very interested in staying a few days in your village. I would love to eat ital food, and smoke a bit of ganja. I am not a heavy smoker of ganja, but I do partake. I visited your village on a day trip about 5 years ago. It was so peaceful. Please let me know when you are offering overnight visits again.

Greetings, my sincerest apologies, I am just seeing this question and another...I hope you were able to make your visit to the Village without hitches. for the future however, persons trying to visit should book in advance as the Village is not always accessible for a number of reasons. turning up would not be advisable. bookings can be made 24 hours in advance, or in fact the night before if there is a tour the next day. Tours are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with exceptions in the high season.

Greetings Erick,
Thank you so much for checking us out at the Village. Can I ask you to call to confirm which day you would like to visit with us and share. As you will appreciate we are very busy at this time, not with tons of people but more with very personalized experiences which gives us time to consider the relationships we are building and the space in which interactions take place.
Our number is 876 2854750 you will speak with either Firstman or Queen Berhan...explain exactly what you are thinking of and we start from there.
give thanks once again and I hope that we will meet to meet
one love

Greetings,
Thank you for your interest in the Rastafari Indigenous Village.
We really do not have a pick up for the Village unless it is a pre-arranged group, in which case we can put them in touch with a driver. We usually recommend that persons travel into Montego Bay by the Knutsford Express Coach and then take a taxi to the Village from the bus station or let us know and we will arrange a pick up from the bus station. If you want to do this please let us know and we will do our very best to assist.
One love
