Montego Bay: ATV Ride in Unity Hall Hills with Pickup

Summary

ATV adventure through Jamaica’s muddy hills and countryside

You’ll feel every bump and splash as you ride your own ATV through Jamaica’s muddy Unity Hall hills with a local guide leading the way. Expect laughter, countryside views over Montego Bay, stories from your guide, and easy hotel pickup so all you need is some nerve (and clothes you don’t mind ruining).

What’s the experience like?

“If you get stuck, just laugh — it’s part of the fun,” our guide Devon grinned as he handed me a helmet that still smelled faintly like last week’s rain. I’d never ridden an ATV before, but Devon didn’t seem worried. He showed us how to work the throttle, then gave a thumbs-up that made me feel like maybe I could handle this. The air was thick and warm, and there was this low hum of crickets mixed with distant reggae from someone’s yard up the road.

The first few minutes were all nerves — my hands kept slipping on the handlebars because I was sweating so much (not sure if it was the weather or my own panic). But once we hit the muddy trails in Unity Hall, something clicked. The tires kicked up clumps of red earth and splattered my jeans, but honestly? It felt good not to care about staying clean for once. We passed kids waving from porches and goats chewing lazily under breadfruit trees. Devon pointed out little things — a mango tree here, a spot where he said his cousin tried (and failed) to build a treehouse as a kid.

There was one hill where I almost chickened out — it looked way steeper than I expected — but everyone cheered each other on and somehow we all made it up. At the top, you could see Montego Bay stretched out in the haze, roofs glinting between patches of green. I caught myself grinning like an idiot. We stopped for water and Devon told us how rainy season changes everything here; he said sometimes the mud gets so deep you can barely move (I kind of wanted to see that). The ride back felt easier somehow, maybe because we’d all loosened up or maybe because we just didn’t want it to end yet.

I still think about that view from the top — not perfect or postcard-pretty, but real. If you’re looking for something different than beach days in Montego Bay, this ATV ride is worth getting dirty for. Plus, they pick you up right at your hotel so you don’t have to worry about anything except showing up ready to try.
