    This garden is a well-hidden treasure of biodiversity and humanity. It's an entire experience. The owners and their son together taught us the history of the place and their interactions with the people of Montego Bay, the different plants, how to behave in nature (with a touch of spirituality). There are plenty of pieces of art spread out inside the garden, and so much creativity it makes you want to become an artist. If you want to purchase the owners' work, there is a gallery at the end of the tour. Both of the owners are very talented. The place is suitable for children too. I will let the owners tell you why :) The lovely humming birds accompany you during your journey, and they don't hesitate to perch on your hand (you won't ever forget the sensation). The place is so quiet and relaxing, you will return refreshed. The garden is very well maintained and the diversity of it is exceptional. If you come to Jamaica, you should definitely go there!

    This was an incredible experience! I highly recommend this tour to EVERYONE. The family was exceptionally accommodating and welcoming. Mrs. Williams gave an incredible tour of the gardens and is very knowledgeable about the area. She taught us a lot about the history of Jamaica while incorporating her knowledge of medicinal plants. The gardens are very impressive with gorgeous views and art everywhere. There was something about this tour that is so spiritual and grounding. At one point Mrs. Williams gave us a moment to reflect over looking the ocean - this was a life changing experience. I came back from that tour with a new outlook on life. Please DO NOT skip out on the gift shop, the art is beautiful. This is a must do for all photographers and nature enthusiasts. I’m planning on coming back to Jamaica next year and I will definitely be returning! See you soon! Note: please wear sneakers lol. I did the tour in sandals but should have worn more sensible shoes.

    It's was a wonderful tour of a beautiful garden, an enlightened experience and story behind every area of the garden. The wonderful flora and fauna. Feeding the hummingbirds as a great experience. Each art 🎨🎭 piece having their own story, a picture is worth a 1000 words but these pieces maybe worth 10,000. We loved it

    Ras Natango Gallery & Gardens is a hidden gem you can't miss when in Jamaica. Stunningly beautiful and so peaceful. The owners have created the most colorful gardens. And be prepared for the hummingbirds! They will drink right out of your hand. I came in a stranger, and left feeling like family. This property is 34 years worth a passion and dedication. You don't just see it, you feel it. We couldn't leave without purchasing a beautiful & unique piece of artwork. If you want to experience the heart of Jamaica, you'll find it here.

    My husband and I went here just a couple of days ago. When I read the reviews here on Google, I didn’t think that it was that magical of a place. However, I really wanted to feed the hummingbirds, so I got the tickets. This is such a beautiful and peaceful experience. The family is truly so caring and genuine, they’re all very talented artists and have created an incredible nature walk through their garden. And the hummingbirds! They are so cute and I felt like a Disney princess when one perched on my finger to drink the sugar water. I would absolutely recommend anyone to go there and experience magic and serenity for a bit. You won’t regret it!

    Had an amazing time touring this beautiful cliff side home. The garden and gallery were absolutely enchanting. Everything we passed by and looked at had meaning and I loved learning so much about it!! The hand painted canvas pages were beautiful, especially the one with the lotus 🥰 I can’t wait to return in spring/summer!

    I found out about this location from Trip Advisor. I was amazed to learn there was no review for this on Google Maps. Well here is my Five Stars just to confirm what the guys over on Trip Advisor have written about Ahh....Ras Nantango!. The garden is a botanical wonder. The land itself serves as the canvas for this family of artist and the plants, painted rock formations, and landscapes are the brush-strokes of paint. But you don't need to know the first thing about plants to appreciate the artistry. If you are planning a trip to Jamaica and want to do something different put this one on your list of must-dos.

    This is definitely worth a visit for nature enthusiasts. The property is beautiful and lush, with a wide variety of flora, and the creativity and work that went into it all is simply awe-inspiring. There is also a gallery here with original artwork and craft pieces for sale, so that is worth checking out too. The owners and tour guides are quite knowledgeable and made the tour very interactive and fun.

    A breathtaking garden and gallery created by a beautiful family. Inspiring and idyllic. Make sure you visit to hear their story & experience the blissful views, flora, fauna and art. Can’t recommend highly enough. A highlight of all the time I’ve ever spent in Jamaica.

    I wanted a Montego Bay cruise ship excursion that would be enjoyable for my 5 year old grandson. Ahh...Ras Natango Gallery and Garden was very ideal selection. This is a private residence where the owners really make you feel welcome. What they have built here over the last 30 years is remarkable. As you see in my uploaded pictures, my grandson got to feed hummingbirds that were perched on his finger with a little help from mom and dad. How many kids can say they have done that?? A very enjoyable day. Best to bring cash USD and be prepared to pay for your visit and travel to/from Monntego Bay. Try it!!

    I enjoyed my 2+ hour tour with Ras, Tamika, and their family very much. There’s a cliff side garden filled with a variety of intriguing plant life and small animals that the guides tell you about. You see a small waterfall and can relax in a hammock at one point. The highlight though is feeding the hummingbirds and turquoise lizards that perch right on your hand to drink red sugar water from a bottle. Rudy the hummingbird followed us around the whole time. At the end there is an art gallery with items for sale. It’s $35 per person for the tour and $25 for a round trip shuttle transfer to and from your hotel. They made booking easy and were reachable the previous evening. This is a half-day activity including the transfers.

    Tamika and Ras have created their own little piece of heaven that is more than worth a visit. Fantastic story to be heard here and you can even visit with the hummingbirds. Took my family of 13 there on last minute notice and they welcomed us with open arms for a beautiful afternoon. Best way to book is to call them directly.

    What an amazing experience!! Everyone there was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. We went in just expecting to see some wildlife up in the mountains; we were pleasantly surprised by such a personalized and knowledgeable tour. If beautiful views, kind people, and hummingbirds are your thing, this is the place for you! Many thanks to the family and staff here for such a wonderful time.

    "Ahhhhh" sums it up. Relaxing atmosphere, informative tour, beautiful views. Our guides at Ahh were fun and friendly, we enjoyed the garden tour so much, not to mention hand feeding the humming birds. Heads-up though, that last mile or so of road just before you get to Ahhh isn't for the faint of heart buuut no worries just take it slow, and pay attention. Those few minutes of driving anxiety will be quickly erased by your time at Ahhh. Also parking is limited (ie on the side of the road just outside Ahhh) but was adequate for us and our vehicle are safe. All in all we enjoyed our visit, will very likely be back, and definitely recommend. Go see!!

    A piece of heaven near Montago Bay. The garden is beautiful with all the plants, flowers, hummingbirds and many other birds flying around. The hummingbirds are not shy at all, they fly around you and we were able to feed them many times, when they were sitting on our fingers. It was an incredible feeling! The owners told us the whole story about the location and how they transformed it to such a wonderful place. They are also a very talented artists and you can buy a piece of art from them if you want. I bought a small hummingbird painting and can't wait to hang it on the wall when I am at home.

    I recently booked this tour through Airbnb Experiences at $35 USD per person. The Airbnb platform made payment and communication easy, and Tamika was prompt and responsive to any questions we had. We even ended up rescheduling our tour due to heavy rains, and she handled it smoothly. Upon arrival, we drove up a steep and narrow road to reach the property. The view was breathtaking, making the journey well worth it. We found parking on the main road at the base of the driveway to the property. Parking on the driveway is not permitted. We walked up the steep driveway and Tamika welcomed us into the gate, as we joined other guests in the sitting area to hear Ras regale us with captivating stories about the property's growth and his artistic journey, leaving us inspired. Tamika guided us through the property, sharing her extensive knowledge about the flora and fauna. We were greeted by friendly hummingbirds and had the opportunity to feed them out of our hands. The property was teeming with dozens of these remarkable creatures, some with the most gorgeous, long tails we’d ever seen. You haven’t lived until you’ve felt a hummingbird land on your finger! After the guided tour of the lush and vibrant property, Ras welcomed us into the gallery/gift shop. His artwork and crafts were on display and available for purchase. After visiting the gift shop, we took our time exploring the diverse plant and tree life, admiring Ras' whimsical painted rocks, sculptures, and natural benches carved from stone and wood. The vibrant colors of the flowers and the peaceful ambiance awakened all our senses. We found the hammocks to be a perfect haven for contemplation and relaxation. The view from the hammocks has to be seen to be believed. Throughout the experience, Tamika and Ras provided excellent hospitality. They offered nature-safe bug repellent and umbrellas for shade. Overall, this 2–3-hour excursion provides a memorable experience for all ages. This property is romantic for couples, educational for families, and safe for singles. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for walking and climbing stairs. Consider using your voice memo app to record ambient sound to enjoy later. And of course, take lots and lots of photos!

    This is a hidden gem of Jamaika! It was so nice to hear about the story of the house, learn about the flowers in the garden and even have a look at Ras' and his sons artworks there.

    (Translated by Google) In the heart of nature! Excellent family welcome that will tell you its story about hummingbirds. A visit to the gardens will follow, with the possibility of feeling and tasting many plants. Finally, a passage in the art gallery. The site is not frequent. We were treated to the visit just for both of us. The price is quite expensive 35 €, but the visit will depaysera you. Note, the winding road to access the site. (Original) Au cœur de la nature ! Excellent accueil de la famille qui vous racontera son histoire autour des colibris. S'en suivra une visite des jardins avec possibilité de sentir et goûter de nombreuses plantes. Pour finir, un passage dans la galerie d'art. Le site est peu frequenter. Nous avons eu droit à la visite rien que pour nous deux. Le tarif est assez chère 35€, mais la visite vous depaysera. À noter, la route assez sinueuse pour accéder au site.

    Excellent! The story, amazing gardens! It was a joyous experience. The Art wasn't my style, but very colorful! The view from the site is worth the trip alone.

I planned this visit because I love gardens and wanted to see the hummingbirds..When we got there it was soooo much more than just a botanical garden and enjoyed the lessons learned..Thank you Mrs Tamika for opening your home to us! Love the Jefferson Family!
