Yardy Fully Rushed: Saddle, Rapids and the Roaring River—A Full-Day Loop in Westmoreland.
Yardy Fully Rushed is a full-day adventure in Westmoreland that pairs a scenic horseback ride through trails shaded by bamboo and native trees with an exploration of the Roaring River—where limestone beds, the confluence of two rivers and a powerful waterfall meet. The day concludes with a guided river-tubing run that threads rapids, mineral springs and hidden underwater caves while guides share local history, including narratives about sugar plantations and community land ownership.
