You're gonna be met by our friendly driver/guide at your Cruise Ship Pier or resort and taken on a brief ride to the outpost area. This is where your adventure starts, you will be greeted and briefed by our guides and given gears.
Next you're taken on a trail into the interior of the Island to experience the Jamaican wilderness and natural beauty amidst dense woodlands and ferns. View the rugged terrain with endless mountainous vistas.
The tour continues up to Murphy Hill "Ochies" highest peak. You'll be overlooking Ocho Rios entire picturesque shoreline, with a view of 30-40 miles of incredible landscape, 1800 feet above sea level. Refreshing drinks will be provided to our guest at this point.
Horseback
Next, we will take you to the stables where you will be given a brief orientation. Then its time to mount up on your horse and visit all the places that we have learnt about, riding by ruins of castles and sugar factories dating back nearly 500 years.
Ride through wooded areas, where the Taino Indians used to hunt for food. Learn about the culture of these first Islanders, their beliefs, habits and existence, before Columbus landed and the island was colonized under the Spanish flag. Ride through a natural wetland, shaded by almond and coconut trees, and see the excavations carried out by archaeologists, keen to uncover the deep rooted history of this area.
On arrival at the beach, refreshments are served in our jungle beach hut, before we strip down to our bathing suits, for a dash through the waves on horseback. For your safety, we keep the saddles on, so you don't have to worry about staying on!!! Our return ride takes you along the deserted beach, where herons and other water birds fish in the shallow waters. Through the mangroves, which hide the remains of an eighteenth century warehouse, and by an ancient waterwheel which powered the old sugar mill on this former sugar plantation. A history lesson and beach ride in one. After you are finished riding, you will meet your driver at the back of the Great house. He will then take you back to Ocho Rios for some last minute shopping before you return to your cruise ship or resort.
