Zip Over Negril: Jamwest Zipline & JamCulture Safari Combo Adventure
Launch from a 60-foot tower and fly 2,450 feet over forest toward the Caribbean, then trade speed for a safari through wetlands, rainforest and grassland on Jamwest’s 300-acre property. This combo pairs a racing zipline with guided habitat exploration—designed for first-timers and adrenaline seekers alike.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
Secure, flat-soled shoes will keep your feet stable on towers, ladders and when stepping into the harness.
Hydrate before arrival
Bring a water bottle and drink before your run—there’s sun and exertion on the course and limited shade between segments.
Book pickup in advance
Hotel pickup is offered from most Negril and Montego Bay hotels—call to confirm your pickup time the day before.
Tether small cameras
If you need photos, secure devices with a wrist or neck strap; guides can advise when it’s safe to use them.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Wetland boardwalks where tidal channels attract herons and snipes early morning
- •A quiet overlook near the clubhouse with sweeping views of the Caribbean—great for sunset photos
Wildlife
- •Green iguana
- •Great egret and other wading birds
Conservation Note
The park protects pockets of wetland and grassland; visitors are asked to stay on marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and follow guide instructions to minimize disturbance.
The Westmoreland coastal plain was historically a center of sugar cultivation; many ranch and property boundaries reflect former plantation parcels repurposed for tourism and conservation.
