The Experience

Before You Go

Bring reef-safe sunscreen

Sun and salt combine on the catamaran—use reef-safe SPF to protect coral and your skin.

Secure valuables

Store phones and wallets in waterproof pouches for the boat and zipline platforms to avoid water or dust damage.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV tracks are rough and can be muddy—sturdy, closed-toe shoes will protect toes and improve control.

Hydrate before you start

The activities and Jamaican heat can dehydrate you quickly—drink water before boarding and use provided bottles during the tour.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Early-morning snorkeling near the Marine Park’s quieter reef edges for clearer water and fewer boats
  • Local jerk stands near the West End for quick, authentic post-tour bites away from the main strip

Wildlife

  • Parrotfish
  • Green sea turtle (occasionally)

Conservation Note

Respect reef boundaries, avoid touching coral, and use reef-safe sunscreen; the Marine Park relies on visitor compliance to maintain reef health.

Montego Bay’s coastline blends colonial-era plantation routes inland with long-standing fishing communities; the Marine Park was set aside in the early 1990s to protect nearshore reefs and mangroves.
