The experience
What makes this different from a standard horseback tour is the ocean finish: you ride through the countryside and tropical trails around the former Seville Priory plantation, then take your horse directly into the Caribbean Sea for a swim. The ride suits all skill levels and the guide stays with your group throughout. Private rides require a minimum of two people.
After the ride, you head to the Original Blue Hole in the Cascade Rainforest, where the water is turquoise and the options are yours. Jump or dive from the rocks, swing on ropes into the pools, swim under the waterfalls, explore the hidden caves, or simply sit on the smooth rocks and let the water run over you. If you want to hike, a guided trail upstream reveals more pools and waterfalls. If you'd rather rest, the sun and the sound of the falls are enough.
The day wraps with a meal at one of Jamaica's jerk centers (Red Stripe beer or a tropical drink included) before the drive back to your hotel or cruise ship. Transportation is air-conditioned and pickup is from your accommodation or port.
Is this one for you?Choose the Ocho Rios departure if your hotel is in that area, or Runaway Bay if you're staying there. Both routes include the same ride and Blue Hole experience. The 3.5-hour timeframe works for cruise passengers with a few hours ashore and for hotel guests who want the full day back by early evening.
