The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy sneakers or light hiking shoes protect feet during ATV and river horseback sections.

Bring sun protection

Sunscreen and a brimmed hat for downtime at the facility—UV is strong even under intermittent cloud.

Secure small electronics

Use a zippered dry bag or chest pack; phones and cameras are vulnerable during ATVs and on the zipline.

Hydrate and pace

Start hydrated and sip regularly—tropical heat plus active segments can be deceptively tiring.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Riverside swim pockets downstream of horseback sections—quiet shallow pools ideal for cooling off.
  • Small roadside coffee and fruit stalls near the route where locals sell fresh juices and homemade patties.

Wildlife

  • Green iguanas basking on sunny rocks
  • Hummingbirds and small monarch butterflies near flowering shrubs

Conservation Note

Operators encourage staying on established trails to limit erosion from ATVs and horses; support local guides and on-site amenities to benefit community conservation efforts.

The inland trails cross land once part of small plantations and village farms; local guides often reference Afro‑Jamaican farming practices and Taino place names still used today.
