The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a copy of your driver’s license

A valid driver’s license is required to ride ATVs — bring the original or a clear photocopy to avoid being unable to participate.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV tracks are dusty and uneven; closed-toe shoes protect feet on the quad and are required for zipline platforms.

Hydrate and use reef-safe sunscreen

Warm tropical sun and active exertion increase dehydration and sun exposure—pack water and zinc- or mineral-based sunscreen to protect reefs.

Mind the weight and health limits

This tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers, those with spinal or serious heart conditions, or anyone over the local weight limit (~230 lbs).

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • On-site infinity pool and hammock area for a quiet cooldown away from the main beach
  • A short climb to the local mountain viewpoint that reveals a sweep of coastline often missed by visitors

Wildlife

  • Jamaican hummingbirds (often at feeder plants)
  • Green iguanas and small lizards in the roadside scrub

Conservation Note

Stay on marked trails and avoid feeding wildlife; practice reef-safe sun protection and dispose of waste properly to protect coastal ecosystems and local farming land.

The west coast around Montego Bay reflects Jamaica’s plantation-era landscape—small farms and fields grew from former estate lands, and local communities retain strong agricultural traditions tied to bananas, sugar and coconut.
