After meeting your driver and small group, you will drive from Ocho Rios to the stables, you will follow your trained tour guide and no more than 20 guests, through the scenic country side, on a ride that combines history with fun.

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.

Set out on your approximately 90 minute 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 a jungle beach hut, before you strip down to your bathing suits, for a dash through the waves on horseback. For your safety, the saddles are kept on, so you don’t have to worry about staying on!!!

Your 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.

You will then drive to the river where you will be given a tube for a lazy float down the river with your guide.

The float portion lasts between 45 and 55 minutes depending on the current and time spent at the midway stop. At the end of the river, your driver will meet you for the return drive to Ocho Rios.
