Mystic Mountain Tour from Montego Bay: Zipline, Chairlift & Bobsled in Ocho Rios
Leave Montego Bay for a 2–3 hour rainforest escape above Ocho Rios: chairlift, zipline and a guided bobsled combine coastal views with treetop adrenaline. This practical guide explains what to expect, how active it is, and tips for making the most of the visit.
The Experience
Before You Go
Plan pickup logistics
Confirm your Montego Bay pickup point and allow extra travel time for coastal traffic; the operator provides hotel pickup and drop-off.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Trails have stairs and uneven roots—sturdy shoes with grip make zipline launches and short walks safer.
Bring water and sun protection
Carry a refillable bottle and reef-safe sunscreen—the exposure on viewing platforms is strong even when shaded.
Secure loose items
Use a tether or leave loose electronics in a locker when doing ziplines and the bobsled to avoid loss or damage.

Conservation Note
Stick to marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and use refillable bottles—these small actions reduce erosion and plastic waste in the sensitive rainforest above Ocho Rios.
Ocho Rios evolved from a fishing port into a tourism hub; Mystic Mountain was developed to showcase the coastal rainforest above the town and offer engineered canopy experiences.
