Sky Explorer at Mystic Mountain: Zipline, Bobsled & Waterpark in Ocho Rios
Rise above Ocho Rios on a chairlift, then whoosh down a 1,000-meter bobsled, fly through a canopy on ziplines, and cool off in an infinity pool. This half-day at Mystic Mountain packs adrenaline, panoramic forest-to-sea views, and local sports history into one accessible adventure.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers with good traction protect your feet on platforms, stairs, and the bobsled boarding area.
Hydrate and pace yourself
Bring a reusable water bottle and drink between activities—the tropical heat and physical exertion add up quickly.
Secure loose items
Use zip pockets or leave phones and sunglasses in lockers before ziplines to avoid losing gear.
Check weight/age limits
ATV/driving and some rides have age/weight and health restrictions—confirm at booking to avoid surprises.
