Negril Zipline and Beach Horseback Riding Adventure — Zip, Ride & Rappel

Negril Zipline and Beach Horseback Riding Adventure — Zip, Ride & Rappel

Race a friend across parallel 60-foot towers, then swap adrenaline for the gentle gait of a horse along a tropical trail and beach. This half-day Negril combo pairs zip-lines, a rappel option, and a shore-side ride for a compact island adventure.

The Experience

Before You Go

Close-toed shoes only

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes for both zipline platforms and horseback stability; flip-flops aren’t allowed.

Hydrate before you go

Bring at least 1 liter of water and sip regularly—tropical heat and adrenaline dehydrate quickly.

Follow the handler’s cues

Listen to guides during mounting, dismounting and on the zip platforms to avoid falls or rope burn.

Check weight & age limits

Confirm you meet the 50–250 lb range and that children have signed waivers to avoid surprises at check-in.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Rocky Water Village crossing — opt for the zip across if offered for close-up coastal views
  • A quiet off-route beach entrance near the ride’s endpoint where early morning light is best for photos

Wildlife

  • frigatebirds and terns over the coastline
  • green iguanas and small tropical lizards along trail edges

Conservation Note

Stick to marked trails and avoid letting sunscreen rinse into nearshore waters; the area’s coastal reefs and dune vegetation are sensitive to erosion and pollutants.

Negril evolved from small fishing villages into a beach destination in the mid-20th century; much of the shoreline sits on fossilized reef and limestone formations.
