Ocho Rios Adventure: Zipline, Dunn's River Falls Climb, ATV & Horseback Swim
A single day in Ocho Rios packs ziplines, an iconic falls climb, ATVs and a horseback swim—plus lunch. Expect seven active hours, hotel pickup, and local guides who mix safety with island knowledge.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear grippy water shoes
The falls and shoreline are slippery—secure water shoes or reef shoes improve footing during the climb and the horse‑into‑sea section.
Bring a waterproof pouch
Protect your phone and documents during the falls climb and ATV dust—small dry bags work well for cameras and cash.
Know the weight limits
Activity weight limits (230–300 lbs depending on the segment) are enforced for safety—check them before booking to avoid surprises.
Start early and hydrate
This is a long day with sun exposure; begin early if your hotel allows pickup and carry a refillable bottle to keep electrolytes up.
