The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes protect your feet during ATV sections and on platform approaches for the zipline.

Bring a small dry bag

Use the ATV’s rear equipment box for phones and sunscreen; a dry bag keeps belongings safe from dust and splash.

Hydrate and sun-protect

Carry a reusable water bottle and apply reef-safe sunscreen before departure—the sun and salt air intensify exposure.

Listen to the safety briefing

Guides coach first-time drivers through practice laps—follow instructions to build confidence before heading onto open trails.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Quiet stretch of Salmon Point beach about 20 minutes from the park for low-key swimming and local fishing activity
  • Small roadside jerk stands near the trailhead serving fresh, informal meals and rum punches

Wildlife

  • Migratory shorebirds along sandy washes
  • Small iguanas and anole lizards sunning on rocks

Conservation Note

Stay on designated trails to protect mangrove roots and coastal vegetation; operators typically limit group sizes to reduce erosion and disturbance.

Negril developed as a fishing and coconut-producing area before tourism grew in the 20th century; nearby settlements still preserve fishing practices that predate resort development.
