The Experience

Before You Go

Closed-toe shoes only

Sturdy shoes with grip protect your feet on ATVs and during short hikes to zipline platforms.

Bring a change of clothes

You’ll likely get muddy on the trail and wet at Rick’s Cafe — a towel and spare set are useful.

Hydrate and snack

Carry water and a light snack; the trip is 5–6 hours and includes a lunch but you’ll want fluids between activities.

Follow the safety brief

Instructors will cover ATV handling and zipline procedures — staying attentive reduces risk and improves your experience.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short walk to a nearby sugarcane field edge for unobstructed views of rural Jamaica
  • Ask your guide about small roadside stands for fresh coconut water or patties en route

Wildlife

  • Green heron
  • Mango hummingbird species (common around flowering shrubs)

Conservation Note

Stay on designated tracks to avoid erosion; local operators often limit group sizes and brief visitors on minimizing litter at coastal and forested stops.

The route crosses landscapes shaped by Jamaica’s agricultural past — once dominated by sugarcane plantations — and coastal limestone formations carved by ancient seas.
