The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy shoes with good grip protect toes on ATVs and provide footing for horseback mounting, especially on dusty or rocky tracks.

Bring insect repellent

Forested canopy and early morning sections attract mosquitos and sandflies; apply repellent before the tour.

Hydrate and pace yourself

Tropical heat plus activity can dehydrate quickly; drink the bottled water provided and take breaks if you feel lightheaded.

Tell guides your experience level

If you’re new to ATVs or horses, let staff know so they can adjust speed, provide extra instruction, and choose gentler trails.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Stop at Croydon Plantation for a short coffee or fruit tasting if offered on route
  • A quick detour toward the Hip Strip gives access to local jerk stands and casual beach viewpoints

Wildlife

  • Jamaican streamertail (hummingbird)
  • Small lizards and introduced mongooses along trail edges

Conservation Note

Operators commonly limit group sizes and use established tracks to reduce erosion; visitors should avoid off-trail riding and pack out trash to protect fragile karst landscapes.

Montego Bay grew as a 18th–19th century export port for sugar; nearby plantations and limestone geology shaped local land use and trail corridors used today.
