Last Resort

Montego Bay & Northwest Coast


The rustic house of archaeologist Ivor Connelly sits in a tranquil spot by the Martha Brae river. Stay in one of the basic dorms or rooms, camp by the house or swing your hammock from a tree outside, then join your host on trekking adventures in Cockpit Country. Take a right at Rasta Dango's hut and walk for 1.5km.

Dr Connelly does two guided treks: a three-hour roundtrip to the remains of the 1720s Guthries fort, and a shorter hike to a Taino petroglyph ($50 for two people per trek). The two treks can be combined (for $80 per person) and he can also arrange the adventurous hike across Cockpit Country from Troy to Windsor.
