Ocho rios zipline and atv excursion

This is an innovative eco-tourism experience that both adults and children can enjoy. Based 2000ft up into the hills of St Ann, the location affords breath taking views, exhilarating activities and down to earth homeliness.

 Upon arrival, each person is greeted with a natural fruit drink in a Bamboo or coconut cup.

Orientation then takes place, followed by a 10 minute chat with Mama TunTun - she knows all about herbs and their benefits. Most people in the surrounding communities go to her as an alternative to the doctor; she will explain that some things can be bought from your local health shop.

This is followed by reading and signing the disclaimer and health declaration forms. This just ensures that everyone takes responsibility for themselves and their actions.

Harnessing then takes place, and onto the first Zip. The climb is 30 feet up into the air, using the staircase or the outside staples whilst attached to a belay rope. From the platform you zip 440 feet across the valley, where catchers are waiting to remove you from the line.

Zip no 2 is a little bit more challenging; there are no stairs so you must climb up the staples on the outside of the pole whilst attached to a safety line. Then you free fall for 12 feet before you travel forward on the line for about 40 feet . The 3rd Zip is  1100 ft which is the longest of all.

From each of the zips you can take a leisurely walk back to base, via numerous tracks flanked by heliconias, crotons, plantains, and almond and coconut trees. You can dally awhile in one of the gazebos or lay back and relax in a hammock on route.

After doing the Zip wire, embarking on a ride of this nature only adds to the excitement for you as a visitor.

Then it is onto the 4 wheel bike ride. Our ATV track is a safe place to master your riding skills, and once proficient, you can attempt to beat the track time and pick up a certificate.

The briefing for everyone takes place around a bike similar to the one that you will be riding. Safety is of paramount importance and so even if you have ridden before you still go through the same procedure. This is a ride up and down hills, through the tall grass, past all the big trees until you eventually arrive at an area where the view of the coast line is so captivating it leaves you with a life time of memories. Far below is the beautiful blue of the Caribbean Sea, and the North Coast sprawls out into the distance. On the right you can see Hotels such as Rui and in the distance the coast of Ocho Rios - look to the left, and Runaway Bay and Discovery Bay beckons.

This is a must do and another challenge that everyone needs to face up to.  One hour later you will return to base camp exhilarated, informed, and feeling so much better from the experience.

This is a plantation ride with a difference - you are amongst the locals, you will be able to see many different food products being cultivated; from yams, bananas, plantains, coco, dasheen, lettuce, cabbage, guava, oranges and so much more.
