The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV and horseback require sturdy footwear; sandals are not allowed for safety reasons.

Bring a small dry bag

Keep phone, cash and a light change of clothes dry during rafting and potential splashes at the cliffs.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Tropical heat plus activity can sap energy—drink water before and between activities and eat the provided lunch.

Follow safety briefings

Guides provide specific handling tips for ATVs, harness checks for ziplines, and weight limits for horseback; follow them exactly.

Conservation Note

Operators typically limit group sizes on trails and follow established river corridors to reduce erosion; visitors should avoid single-use plastics and stay on marked paths.

The itinerary crosses land shaped by colonial agriculture and Maroon settlements; many trails follow old farm roads and river routes used for transport and irrigation.
