The experience

You'll spend two to three hours in the saddle on this private guided adventure. Before the ride, you get a training course to build confidence on the machine, then helmet and riding vest to stay protected. The track itself is well-worn and designed for the activity, so you're following a path others have ridden, not blazing new ground, which means the focus stays on the ride itself rather than navigation.

The mountains around Ocho Rios reveal themselves as you move through them. You're not watching scenery pass from a vehicle. You're operating the ATV and steering your own line through the terrain. The ride is described as thrilling but still safe, built around what the machine can do and what the landscape offers. Private transportation to and from the meeting point is included, along with bottled water and an air-conditioned vehicle for the transfer.
