Overview

If you want a treat that’s a bit different from the crowded usual attractions, then Firewater Pond is for you. A signal that you’re about to stumble upon a hidden gem known more to locals than tourists is the winding, rutted road leading up to the secluded grotto. On the way, I’ll share the history of the pond you’re about to discover. Once we arrive at a clearing, I’ll guide you to the bamboo- and tarpaulin-shielded enclosure that protects the pond, which is said to have healing properties due to the high concentration of minerals. But it’s the methane that seeps up into the water from the ground below that gives the pond its name. The pond “keeper” (grandson of the woman who discovered the pond’s “magic”) regularly sets the water on fire, allowing visitors the unique experience of bathing safely in flames. If requested, the keeper will give your legs a fire “massage,” using a towel soaked in the water. It’s like no other experience you’ve ever had.

Activity itinerary

I will pick you up at your requested meeting point (as long as it is in the general area of Ocho Rios). I'll have cold bottles water ready! We will drive about 30 minutes to our destination, getting to know each other as we drive. Once we arrive at the site parking area, I'll pay the entrance fees while you change clothes (if you weren't wearing your bathing suit when I picked you up). Then, for the next hour or so, you can immerse yourself in the soothing, naturally hot and bubbly water, "playing" in the flames when they shoot up. (And NO, you will not be burned.) If you pay the pond keeper a little extra (see below), he will give you his signature, 15-minute relaxation massage. Once you are relaxed and ready, change back into your dry clothes, buy a cold drink from the nearby stand, and we'll head back to your meeting point. NOTE: Bring or wear a swimsuit, and also bring water shoes (optional) and a towel. I'll collect the entry fee ($40 US) before we arrive. If you'd like the optional, 15-minute massage from the pond keeper, you'll need to pay him $80 US.
