The Experience

Before You Go

Arrive hydrated and fueled

Bring water and a light snack; the tour is 6–8 hours with limited included food and Jamaica’s heat is deceptively dehydrating.

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATVs and zipline platforms require sturdy grip—no sandals; sneakers or trail shoes work best.

Protect electronics

Use a small dry bag or secure mount—the trails kick up dust and ziplines can jostle phones during action shots.

Confirm pickup time

Pickup windows vary widely by hotel; reconfirm the night before to avoid missed transfers.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Booby Cay boat stop for quick snorkeling near Negril’s west end
  • A roadside jerk stand behind the strip for authentic flavours away from tourist prices

Wildlife

  • frigatebirds and other seabirds
  • green iguanas sunning on limestone outcrops

Conservation Note

Stick to designated trails and avoid disturbing shorelines; supporting local vendors and parks that follow waste-management practices helps protect reefs and coastal habitat.

Negril evolved from a fishing and farming coast into a tourism hub in the 1960s; activity parks like Jamwest repurpose the island’s limestone terrain for adventure tourism.
