We had a great time at Bambuza!
Bambuza ATV, Zipline & Horseback Adventure from Negril的点评
点评：High marks for Dean Wallis and his team @bambuzajamaica! Whenever we travel, we try to get a feel for local culture and we try to support small businesses whenever possible. Bambuza Jamaica (BJ) came to our attention through the recommendation of some locals whom we met while staying at our resort in Green Island, just down the road. (We were in Jamaica for a long overdue and much needed holiday vacation.) The more established tour operators at the hotel were offering larger packages at higher rates and further distances, and we weren’t interested. Dean is a successful business man and Jamaican native. He’s also a relatively new player in the eco-adventure space, and offered something that felt better suited for our needs: Horseback riding and learning a bit more about the local flora and fauna without a multi-hour commitment and costly transportation. Additionally, he provided door-to-door service at a time of our convenience, not his. Basically, he removed a lot of the friction and concerns that often come with making decisions about day excursions from the relative safety of an all inclusive.
Jamaica has seen a recent boom in tourism and Mr. Wallis has literally planted his stake in the ground at this ecologically rich location. This is a brand new venture and, as such, they are still building out their infrastructure and their offerings. As a business, they employ mostly locals from the area (more on that in a moment) and Mr. Wallis has invested heavily back into the community by offering good jobs, helping to repair roads and to support educational needs in the local schools. BJ embodies the ethos of “one love” that permeates Jamaican spirit.
We remember smiling and feeling good about our decision as soon as we turned on to his property. The ranch is set in a bit of a valley with the surrounding forest cutback to showcase the lovely, well maintained grounds. The facilities were clean. Arrival consisted of a warm greeting by a uniformed member of his team (who also handles BJ social media) and then a quick review of the services offered and a reading/signing of a posted, standard waiver/release. Refreshments were readily available and there’s a little gift shop off the lobby if memory serves correctly. The horses are numerous (and well cared for) and easy to ride. There were goats (or maybe sheep) and a smattering of other typical animals one might find roaming around a ranch.
I’m not an adventure guy, per se, and I had planned to just chillax in the lobby, but when the teen and the wife went riding, I was invited to experience a walking tour of their property — well, just a small portion of it. My guide was a friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic man named André. He grew up just over the hill (where he still lives) and spent his youth roaming the property where he now works. He proudly shared the history of the land with me and was quick to crack open a pod, dig up a root, peel off a vine or pinch a flower to explain its value and what it meant to the locals. He was spry and energetic as he navigated the hilly terrain as a local would, offering a steadying hand to me as I occasionally slipped on the trail. (If you plan to walk, I might suggest wearing hiking boots, not sneakers or water shoes.) It wasn’t a long walk, but it was a satisfying one in many ways. I suppose that sentiment also applies to the horseback riding and zip-lining experience. We left happy and content and eager to spread the word with other guests and staff once we were back in the “castle” (my nickname for our all-inclusive resort). It was a full circle moment for us, hoping that the next family to contact BJ would say they heard about it as we had — through word of mouth. As I shared with Mr. Wallis on our ride back, our experience with Bambuza was one of the best parts of our trip, because he made it easy and fun, and there was something for my wife and teen (the thrill seekers), and me (the nature enthusiast). A solid return on our investment, I’d say. And we were back in time to catch a late lunch!
Thanks for reading. And thank you Bambuza!

翻译：高度赞扬 Dean Wallis 和他的团队 @bambuzajamaica！每当我们旅行时，我们都会尝试感受当地文化，并尽可能支持小企业。我们注意到 Bambuza Jamaica (BJ) 是通过一些当地人的推荐，我们在路边的绿岛度假村住宿时遇到了他们。（我们来牙买加度过了一个期待已久且非常需要的假期。）酒店里更成熟的旅行社提供更大的套餐，价格更高，距离更远，但我们不感兴趣。Dean 是一位成功的商人，也是牙买加人。他也是生态探险领域的新手，他提供了一些感觉更适合我们需求的东西：骑马和了解当地的动植物，而不需要花费数小时和昂贵的交通费用。此外，他还在我们方便的时候提供上门服务，而不是他方便的时候。基本上，他消除了很多摩擦和担忧，而这些摩擦和担忧往往与在相对安全的全包式一日游中做出决定有关。
牙买加最近旅游业蓬勃发展，沃利斯先生在这个生态丰富的地区扎下了根。这是一个全新的企业，因此，他们仍在建设基础设施和产品。作为一家企业，他们主要雇用当地人（稍后会详细介绍），沃利斯先生通过提供好工作、帮助修路和支持当地学校的教育需求，为社区做出了巨大投资。BJ 体现了牙买加精神中渗透的“一种爱”的精神。
我们记得，一转身走进他的农场，我们就面带微笑，对自己的决定感到很满意。牧场坐落在一个山谷中，周围的森林被砍伐，以展示美丽、维护良好的土地。设施很干净。抵达后，他的团队中一名身穿制服的成员（也负责 BJ 社交媒体）热情地迎接了我们，然后快速回顾了所提供的服务，并阅读/签署了张贴的标准豁免/释放书。茶点随时可用，如果我没记错的话，大堂外有一个小礼品店。马匹很多（而且照顾得很好），骑起来很容易。有山羊（也可能是绵羊）和一些其他在牧场周围游荡的典型动物。
我本身并不是一个冒险家，我原本打算只是在大堂里放松一下，但当青少年和妻子去骑马时，我被邀请体验一次步行游览他们的房产——好吧，只是一小部分。我的导游是一个友好、知识渊博、热情的人，名叫安德烈。他在山上长大（他现在还住在那里），年轻时就在他现在工作的房产上漫游。他自豪地与我分享了这片土地的历史，并迅速打开豆荚、挖出根部、剥下藤蔓或摘下花朵，向我解释其价值以及对当地人的意义。他像当地人一样在丘陵地带穿行，精神抖擞，在我偶尔在路上滑倒时伸出手扶住我。（如果您打算步行，我建议您穿登山靴，而不是运动鞋或水鞋。）这段步行路程不长，但在很多方面都很令人满意。我想这种感觉也适用于骑马和高空滑索的体验。我们离开时心情愉快，心满意足，回到“城堡”（我为我们全包式度假村起的昵称）后，渴望与其他客人和工作人员分享这个消息。对我们来说，这是一个圆满的时刻，希望下一个联系 BJ 的家庭会说他们像我们一样听说过这个消息——通过口口相传。正如我在回程途中与 Wallis 先生分享的那样，与 Bambuza 的相处是我们旅行中最美好的部分之一，因为他让整个过程变得轻松有趣，而且我的妻子和孩子（寻求刺激的人）和我（自然爱好者）都能从中获得乐趣。我想说，我们的投资获得了丰厚的回报。而且我们及时赶回来吃一顿迟来的午餐！
感谢您的阅读。也谢谢 Bambuza！
