The Experience

Before You Go

Closed‑toe footwear

Wear sturdy closed‑toe shoes for ATVs, ziplines and horseback sections to protect your feet and improve control.

Sun and reef protection

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen and a hat—sun is strong on open trails and the catamaran deck.

Stay hydrated and pack snacks

Carry a reusable water bottle and light snacks; the day runs long and refreshments between activities can be limited.

Motion sickness prep

If you’re prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding the catamaran and choose mid‑ship seating.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Quiet shoreline near the Sandy Bay outpost for low‑crowd sunset views
  • Small craft vendors on the Hip Strip offering discounted handmade souvenirs during the afternoon stop

Wildlife

  • Green sea turtles and reef fish (parrotfish) around nearshore reefs
  • Frigatebirds and brown pelicans scouting the coastline

Conservation Note

Respect reef areas by using reef‑safe sunscreen and avoiding anchoring on coral; operators often emphasize 'leave no trace' and support local craft sellers.

Montego Bay grew as a colonial port tied to sugar plantations; the coast reflects both coral reef formation and centuries of maritime trade.
