The Experience

Before You Go

Bring closed-toe shoes

ATVs and some zipline platforms require sturdy footwear — sandals aren’t recommended.

Wear quick-dry layers

A swimsuit under light clothes makes the transition from ride to swim seamless.

Hydrate before you start

Jamaican heat and physical activity add up; drink water ahead and use provided bottles.

Check age/weight limits

Zipline lines and ATVs have restrictions — confirm with the operator during booking to avoid surprises.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sandy Bay shoreline walk — quieter stretches of beach near ATV exit points
  • Hilltop lookout near Jamwest for late-afternoon light and coastal views

Wildlife

  • green iguanas
  • shore and mangrove birds (eg, herons, kingfishers)

Conservation Note

Operators increasingly emphasize reef-safe sunscreen and responsible riding to limit erosion on limestone trails and protect sensitive coastal habitats.

Negril evolved from a fishing and market port to a tourist hub in the mid-20th century; many tour routes follow old plantation and cattle paths repurposed for recreation.
