DaCosta Farm and Attraction
minutes to get there if you are driving from the heart of Kingston. Once you are at Ferry, take the first toll road on your left, then look for the first exit. After that, follow the directions on the DaCosta Farm signs for about five minutes.
“It is a lovely place for the family to visit, especially on Saturdays and Sundays. A lot of persons usually come in any time after noon,” DaCosta said.
The adventure park, which has been in existence since 2016, has now expanded its activities to include off-road options such as trail biking and dune buggy riding. “The bike trail is a favourite for fathers and their sons. It’s interesting because now I am seeing mothers participating with their kids. Ultimately, I want them to know that it is all about having fun.”
The terrain for the bike trail is very interesting with a lot of hills, valleys and corners. All of this requires your total attention and some form of agility to manoeuvre the bike on the dusty surface.
Access to the track costs $1,000, and persons can use it for the entire day once they have their own bikes. There is also the option of renting a bike for $2,000, which allows you access to the track for two hours. In addition, they provide participants with the relevant safety equipment that comes with the various Honda and Kawasaki trail bikes.
While persons are expending their energy racing around the track, food can be ordered from the bar and delivered to them. A good option is to ask the bartender to place an igloo under the kiosk overlooking the terrain. A dust mask or handkerchief for the track.
WHO IT IS FOR:
Groups of four persons or more will definitely enjoy these activities.
BE MINDFUL:
The sun can take a toll on the body, so wear a hat and carry water.
WHAT TO TRY:
Order the fried fish or the slider burger. 1-876-463-3752 1-876-381-4603 1-876-293-3499

Open WednesdaysSundays, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
For those who prefer to play it safer, they can choose to ride a four-wheel ATV on the track or go to the other side of the property to access the dune buggy track. The 150cc dune buggies are very nippy, with some that can go up to 60mph. The suspensions, along with the padded seats, make the ride very comfortable. However, keep in mind that they are manually steered, which means that at slow speeds, they will be hard to turn.
Overall, the experience is memorable, and it’s a great group activity for families and companies that want to have fun, while being competitive.
