Jamwest Zipline, Cultural Safari & ATV: Negril Adventure on a 300‑Acre Estate
Fly 2,000 feet off a 60‑ft tower, then drift through wetlands with botanists and race ATVs across mangrove trails on a 300‑acre Jamwest property near Negril. This one‑day combo balances adrenaline with cultural and natural interpretation.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed‑toe shoes
ATV trails are uneven and the zipline platform requires secure footing—sturdy trail or hiking shoes reduce slip risk.
Bring water and sun protection
Jamaican sun is strong; carry at least 1–2 liters and SPF to avoid dehydration and sunburn during the 5–7 hour outing.
Listen to safety briefings
Guides provide crucial instructions for zipline harnessing and ATV handling—following them keeps the day fun and safe.
Pack a small waterproof bag
Wet springs and possible splash zones on the safari make a waterproof pouch useful for phones and documents.

Conservation Note
Mangrove and wetland areas here are ecologically sensitive—staying on marked trails, not disturbing wildlife, and following guide instructions helps protect habitat and nesting birds.
The west‑coast around Negril has long been a fishing and small‑farm landscape, later shaped by colonial plantation roads; local guides often link place names and community stories to that maritime and agricultural past.
