Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE WATER

Blue Hole’s Turquoise Pools

Start at the Blue Hole: deep turquoise pools framed by cascading falls, rope swings and pockets of hidden cave to explore—an immediate, splash-forward introduction to Jamaica’s limestone river country.

THE RIVER

Gentle Tubing Through Lush Rainforest

Float downstream on an inner tube amid rainforest canopy; the run balances calm currents with light rapids for a relaxing, scenic passage between the higher-energy stops.

THE RIDE

Horseback Ride Into the Caribbean

Finish on horseback—ride along scenic trails and into the warm, shallow Caribbean waters for a memorable seaside finale that contrasts the inland pools and river.
