A warm morning light filters through tall mahogany and bamboo at Good Hope Eco-Adventure Park, where the Martha Brae meanders like a slow-moving argument with gravity. Guests step onto hand-built bamboo rafts and let a practiced captain guide the craft downstream, the river nudging and teasing as it moves past limestone banks and shaded pools. The foot massage, a local custom using a heritage scrub, feels like a handshake from the estate itself.
