Zipline Canopy 5-in-1 Adventure: ATV, Horseback & Blue Hole from Ocho Rios
A single half-day circuit from Ocho Rios stitches together canopy ziplines, an ATV safari, a horseback swim, cliff jumps at Blue Hole, and the climb up Dunn’s River Falls. It’s a compact, high-energy way to taste Jamaica’s jungle, coast, and freshwater caves with guided safety and local flavor.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear quick-dry layers
Swimwear under quick-dry shorts and a light rashguard keep you comfortable for both the falls and the horseback swim.
Secure small valuables
Use a small waterproof pouch for your phone and cash—most activities require empty hands or lockers.
Footwear for wet rock
Sturdy sandals or reef shoes with good grip are better than flip-flops for the waterfall and river pools.
Start early
Morning departures avoid peak heat and crowded platforms at Dunn’s River and Blue Hole.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Drive through Fern Gully for a short scenic canyon of ferns and shaded roadcut
- •Shaw Park Gardens—quiet botanical gardens with coastal viewpoints a short drive from town
Wildlife
- •Jamaican streamertail (hummingbird)

Conservation Note
Blue Hole and the rivers are fragile freshwater systems—guides limit group sizes and discourage soaps or lotions in the water to protect aquatic life.
Ocho Rios transformed from fishing village to tourist hub in the 20th century; nearby paths and springs trace older Maroon and plantation-era routes.
