Good Hope Jungle Zipline & Appleton Rum Tasting — Montego Bay Adventure
Soar through a tropical canopy, take in river-carved views and finish with a guided Appleton rum tasting on historic Good Hope Estate. This four-hour outing pairs adrenaline with local culture and practical comforts.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or trail shoes protect toes during short walks between platforms and provide grip on wet wood.
Bring a refillable water bottle
Hydration is important in tropical heat — guides often have water but carrying your own is faster between activities.
Check age and weight limits
Zipline minimum age is 6; rum tasting is 18+; zipline weight limit is 265 lbs — disclose any medical issues on booking.
Protect from sun and insects
Use reef-safe sunscreen and insect repellent; a lightweight long-sleeve or buff helps at dawn/evening.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems

Conservation Note
The outpost emphasizes low-impact trails and seasonal river-flow awareness; visitors are encouraged to stay on marked routes and avoid disturbing wildlife.
Good Hope occupies land that was part of Jamaica’s plantation economy; preserved stone buildings and estate layout reflect 18th‑ and 19th‑century agricultural history.
