Ocho Rios Triple-Action Adventure: ATV, Zipline & Blue Hole Combo

Ocho Rios Triple-Action Adventure: ATV, Zipline & Blue Hole Combo

Three signature Jamaica experiences in one half-day: throttle over coastal trails on an ATV, fly across the canopy on a zipline, then cool off at the Blue Hole’s turquoise pools. This combo is fast-paced, guide-led, and best for moderately fit travelers.

The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

ATV trails and river rocks are rough — sturdy shoes protect feet on land and in shallow river approaches.

Bring a quick-dry change

You’ll get wet at the Blue Hole; a dry top and towel make the drive back comfortable.

Know your limits on jumps

Cliff and rope swings are optional — follow guide height/depth guidance and don’t feel pressured to jump.

Hydrate and snack beforehand

High-energy sections, sun and humidity mean you’ll want water and a light snack before the ATV leg.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides for a quieter upstream plunge pool often used by locals for short swims
  • Small roadside jerk stands near the ATV start serve excellent fresh fruit and patties — great for a quick refuel

Wildlife

  • Green iguana basking on rocks
  • Tropical songbirds and occasional hummingbirds in the canopy

Conservation Note

Stay on marked trails, avoid stepping on aquatic vegetation and use reef-safe sunscreen to limit impact on freshwater and downstream coastal ecosystems.

Ocho Rios grew from a small fishing village into a port town; inland springs and rivers have long been sites for local gatherings and simple commerce.
