The experience
The ride begins on shaded trails across a 900-acre private property where your guide points out Jamaica's flora, fauna and the herbs and spices that go into jerk pork and jerk chicken. A 35-minute trail takes you past water birds, black olive trees and logwood trees, then through the red mangrove tunnel: an ecosystem the Jamaican government protects because it shields the beaches and wildlife. The mangrove ride alone shows you how the landscape works.
After the trail, you change to water saddles and head onto the private white sand beach. The ocean ride and swim is the centerpiece: you gallop into turquoise water with the mountainside and south coast in view behind you. Guides use your own camera to capture photos and video free of charge, so you leave with the moments recorded.
The whole experience runs 1.5 hours and suits riders of any level: children from age 6 can join, and the guides teach as you go. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Negril hotels is included in the booking, so you don't need a car to reach the property.
Is this one for you?Hotel pickup from Negril means you don't need a car or a ride to reach the property, so the whole experience (trail, beach and ocean) fits into a morning or afternoon without transport logistics.
