ATV Tour from Montego Bay: Rastafari Village & Ganja Field

You drive the ATVs yourself through farms, forests and a 500-person village deep in the Jamaican countryside.

A guided ATV tour from Montego Bay where you drive side-by-side vehicles (two riders per machine) through the rural community of Roaring River, including a hike to learn local history, swimming in natural mineral pools, a ganja field visit, fruit tasting and a home-cooked lunch. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and a live English-speaking guide leads the experience. Children from age 5 are welcome.

The experience

Hotel pickup arrives in a private shuttle, and locals greet you at the village with hand-roasted Blue Mountains coffee. A guide leads a short hike to the main location, where you learn the history and culture of Roaring River and its surroundings. You'll get a fresh fruit and vegetable juice and a briefing on the ATVs before the driving begins.

The second guide teaches you how to operate the side-by-side machines, then you head uphill into lush forestry and farmland. The route includes multiple stops: a swim in natural mineral pools, a ganja field discovery, and fruit tasting straight from the trees. The pace is built around what you want to see and photograph, not a fixed schedule rushing through stops.

After the drive, you return to the main location for lunch: a home-cooked meal the chef prepared that morning using fresh, hand-picked market ingredients. Your first guide then leads you back down to the arrival point, where your driver takes you back to your hotel. The whole experience runs between two and three hours.
