The Experience

Before You Go

Bring closed-toe shoes

ATV and zipline sections require secure footwear for grip and protection—no flip-flops.

Carry ID and weight awareness

A driver's license is required to operate ATVs and several activities have a ~230 lb limit—confirm before booking.

Hydrate and sun-protect

Tropical sun and active segments make sunscreen, a hat, and water essential—drink between activities.

Pack a small dry bag

A compact dry sack keeps phone, wallet, and a light change of clothes safe during the catamaran and shore stops.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Small roadside jerk stands en route offering real local flavors
  • A beach entry used by guides for a quiet horse-into-sea photo stop

Wildlife

  • Brown pelicans and frigatebirds over coastal waters
  • Small lizard species and tree frogs in the inland scrub

Conservation Note

Operators often limit group sizes and use marked trails to reduce erosion; social and marine areas benefit from reef-safe sunscreen and careful snorkeling to protect coral.

This region reflects Jamaica’s plantation-era roads and Maroon settlement history; many guides reference local stories passed down through generations.
