The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes for transitions

ATV trails, zipline platforms, and beach approaches all benefit from sturdy footwear that can get wet and muddy.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

You’ll be in and out of the water — choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and avoid reapplying right before snorkeling.

Bring a small waterproof bag

A dry pouch keeps phones, IDs, and cash usable through boat and beach segments.

Time photos for afternoon light

The catamaran snorkel leg and sea-facing zipline look best after midday when the sun lifts the water color.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Swim-out hammocks and swings at the outpost for quiet views between activities
  • Small coral gardens near the catamaran route with calm shallow snorkeling for beginners

Wildlife

  • Brown pelican
  • Reef fish such as parrotfish

Conservation Note

The area’s coral reefs are sensitive; operators often encourage reef-safe products and guided snorkeling to reduce anchor and contact damage.

The Sandy Bay/Montego Bay coast was part of Jamaica’s colonial sugar economy; today small coastal settlements retain fishing and craft traditions that guides often highlight.
