The experience
The day starts with pickup from your hotel or cruise port in Ocho Rios. Your driver takes you about 20 minutes inland to the bamboo rafting site, where you board a hand-made raft and spend an hour on the water. Your guide shares what the area looks like and how it works while you float on the clear water and feel the sun.
At 10:20 am, the driver brings you back toward the coast for the horseback riding. You ride on the beach for about 45 minutes with trained guides, moving into the water so the horses can splash alongside you. By 11:30 am you're heading back to your ship or hotel. If you want to add time, you can stop for souvenirs or lunch on the way.
The private format means your group moves on your own schedule without waiting for other travelers. Transportation is air-conditioned, entrance to both activities is covered, and your guide speaks English and knows the route. The whole experience runs three to four hours from pickup to drop-off.
