Negril Combo Adventure: ATV, Zipline, Horseback Swim, Bamboo Raft & Catamaran Cruise
One long, activity-packed day around Negril: ATVs through the countryside, ziplines over treetops, a horseback swim into warm Caribbean waters, gentle bamboo rafting, and a sunset catamaran cruise. Read on for what to expect and how to prepare.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the day
Tropical sun and physical activity add up — carry a refillable bottle and drink regularly between activities.
Bring secure footwear
Closed-toe shoes for ATVs and rugged trails; water shoes help for the horseback swim and rocky shore entries.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
If you plan to snorkel or swim, choose reef-safe sunscreen to protect coral and marine life.
Keep valuables dry and strapped
Use a small dry bag and secure camera straps — boats and shallow swims can jostle loose items into the water.

Conservation Note
Coral reefs and seagrass beds are vulnerable; choose operators that practice reef-safe snorkeling, avoid single-use plastics, and support local conservation or beach-cleanup efforts.
The coastal communities here grew from colonial-era plantations and fishing hamlets; modern local culture blends Maroon, African, and British influences with Jamaica’s famous music and culinary traditions.
