Montego Bay: ATV, Horseback Ride, Zipline & Dunn’s River Falls

Summary

Thrill-packed day from Montego Bay with falls climb, zipline and horseback swim

You’ll climb Dunn’s River Falls with new friends, soar on ziplines through Jamaica’s rainforest canopy, ride horseback right into the Caribbean Sea, and bounce along muddy trails on an ATV — all with local guides who make you feel at home. Includes hotel pickup and lunch so you can just focus on living every wild moment.

What’s the experience like?

You know that feeling when you step off the minibus in Jamaica and the air just wraps around you — heavy, sweet, loud with birds? That’s how our day started outside Montego Bay. Our driver, Andre, greeted us like we were old friends (he even remembered my name by the second stop). I still had sleep in my eyes when we rolled up to Dunn’s River Falls. The water was colder than I’d guessed — not freezing, but enough to wake me up for real. We climbed hand-in-hand with strangers who became sort of a team by the end. There was this moment halfway up where the mist caught the sun and everything looked gold for a second. I didn’t expect that part.

After drying off (sort of), we zipped into harnesses for the zipline through the rainforest. I could hear someone laughing above me before I even saw them — turns out it was our guide, Marsha, giving pep talks to anyone who hesitated at the edge. The ride itself was over too fast but left my heart thumping. Then horses were waiting — mine was called Pepper and he kept trying to nibble my sleeve. Riding along the sand felt surreal; actually swimming on horseback in the Caribbean Sea? That’s something I keep replaying in my head whenever I need a smile.

I’ll admit: I was nervous about driving an ATV after all that, but it ended up being pure fun — mud splashes and all. The countryside around Montego Bay is wild and green and smells like earth after rain (even if it hadn’t rained). Lunch came just when we needed it most; jerk chicken for me, fish for my friend — both spicy enough to make us laugh through watery eyes. By then everyone at our table felt like we’d known each other longer than a single day trip from Montego Bay could explain. If you’re thinking about booking this tour… well, let’s just say I still think about that view from the top of Dunn’s River Falls.
