The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe, sturdy shoes

ATV controls and trail sections are rough—sturdy footwear protects feet and improves control.

Bring a refillable water bottle

Six hours in tropical heat requires regular hydration; many operators allow you to refill on-site.

Apply insect repellent and sunscreen

Forest edges and river crossings expose you to sun and bugs—protect skin before the activity.

Declare medical conditions in advance

The tour isn’t recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal/cardiac issues—inform the operator when booking.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Quick roadside jerk stands near the trailhead for authentic snacks after the ride
  • Shallow rivers and natural pools along the trail that make for an informal photo stop

Wildlife

  • Hummingbirds and small tropical songbirds
  • Common Indian mongoose sighted along disturbed edges

Conservation Note

Stick to marked trails, avoid disturbing waterways, and pack out trash—local operators are increasingly focused on low-impact practices to protect riparian corridors and canopy habitat.

The Montego Bay hinterland was shaped by sugar plantations and colonial-era transport routes; many trails now pass rewilded or cultivated land once tied to that economy.
