Ocho Rios Multi-Adventure: ATV, Zipline, Horseback & Bamboo Rafting
Combine quads, canopy zips, shoreline horseback rides and gentle bamboo rafting on a single-day loop out of Ocho Rios. Expect dirt, warm Caribbean swims, and a mix of coastal and river scenery guided by local, safety-focused teams.
The Experience
Before You Go
Closed-toe footwear
ATV and horseback sections require sturdy, closed-toe shoes; flip-flops are not permitted on the quad or climb elements.
Sun & hydration
Bring a refillable water bottle and apply reef-safe sunscreen between activities to protect both skin and reef ecosystems.
Follow safety briefings
Guides provide harness, helmet and raft instructions — obey weight and positioning rules, especially for the bamboo raft.
Timing and motion
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take precautions before raft and ATV segments; rides can be bumpy and the raft sits low to the water.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Ask guides about small roadside jerk stands near estate roads for authentic local flavors.
- •Pause at low vantage points overlooking the reef line for unexpected views of offshore shoals and seabird activity.
Wildlife
- •Egrets and herons along river edges
- •Small lizards and the occasional green vervet monkey in forest patches
Conservation Note
Operators typically emphasize reef-safe sunscreen and limit river impact by using non-motorized bamboo rafts; follow guidance to minimize erosion and litter.
The route passes former colonial estates and farming parcels in St. Ann, an area influential in Jamaica's sugar and later citrus industries.

Common Questions
Do I need experience to ride an ATV or horse?
No prior experience required; guides give basic instruction for ATVs and horses and pair less-confident riders with suitable mounts or tandem options.
Is swimming on horseback safe for non-swimmers?
Rides into shallow, calm shoreline waters are supervised and horses remain in chest-deep zones, but non-swimmers should wear life vests and inform guides beforehand.
What are the weight or age limits?
Limits vary by operator: weight limits for zipline and ATVs and minimum ages for certain activities are set for safety — disclose height and weight when booking.
Are meals included?
Typical packages include bottled water and transport; meals are not guaranteed so plan for snacks or check the specific inclusion before booking.
