Trelawny: Blue Hole, Horseback Riding & River Tubing ComboYou get three separate adventures — cliff jumping and cave swimming at Blue Hole, a peaceful float down the White River on a tube, and a 45-minute horseback ride that ends in the ocean — all in one day with transport and meals included.

Expect laughter, salty air, muddy shoes, and that easy feeling that comes from letting someone else steer for a while.

ATV Riding & Horseback Swim in Ocho Rios: Both AdventuresATV Safari & Horseback Ride 'n' Swim in Ocho Rios combines two separate adventures—an ATV safari through rolling coastal plains and a horseback swim in the Caribbean—in a single 3-hour outing with hotel pickup and a professional guide.

Minimum age is 6 for horseback riding and 16 with a valid driver's license for ATV operation; weight limits apply (230 lbs for horseback, 300 lbs for ATV).Is it for me?You operate both the ATV and the horse yourself, which means this suits riders who want hands-on control over the day rather than watching from a seat. Book both activities if you want variety and adrenaline in one outing; pick just the horseback swim if water and a slower pace appeal more, or the ATV alone if you want pure speed and terrain. The fixed 3-hour window and included pickup make it work for cruise passengers and hotel guests on a tight schedule.

The whole experience fits into four hours, with flexible timing based on when your ship arrives.Is it for me?Right for cruise passengers with a few hours between arrival and departure, or hotel guests wanting both waterfalls without arranging separate transport. Plan for moderate hiking and swimming — the physical demands are what make the cliff jumping and rope swing possible.
Montego Bay Airport Transfer: Private Ride & Local DriverYou’ll step off your flight in Montego Bay and spot your driver waiting with your name card — no guesswork or stress.
