The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a valid driver’s license

Drivers are required to operate ATVs; bring the physical license used in your home country.

Wear closed‑toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect your feet on ziplines and over rough ATV tracks.

Hydrate and pack sun protection

Tropical sun and physical activity mean you should drink regularly and use SPF and a brimmed hat.

Expect slick spots after rain

Trails include limestone and laterite that can become slippery — follow guides’ instructions and reduce speed.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Mountain viewpoint above the ATV route for unobstructed coastline views
  • Roadside citrus groves and small farm stands offering fresh fruit and local snacks

Wildlife

  • Jamaican hummingbird species
  • Anolis lizards (greenbacks)

Conservation Note

Stay on marked platforms and trails, avoid disturbing vegetation or wildlife, and pack out all trash — these practices help protect regrowing forest and freshwater crossings.

The routes pass land shaped by centuries of agriculture and small farming communities; guides often share stories about Maroon heritage and island farming traditions.
