Your air-conditioned bus will transport you 2000 feet up into the hills of St. Ann, Jamaica's garden parish. From here you will be able to admire the spectacular views, along with the array of beautiful plants and trees on a photo stop. After about 30 minutes, you will reach your destination, and it is here amidst beautiful tropical surroundings that your adventure begins.

After receiving appropriate safety instructions, you will find yourself safely strapped into your harness, and whisked 500 feet across a spectacular valley from a platform 35 feet high. You may choose to use the stairs to the top or be an adventurer and climb up the outside of the pole!
The second zip wire will be a totally different experience as you freefall for 15 feet before the line catches and whisks you over to the other side - an experience not to be missed.
Then, experience the final two zip lines--and the longest! The third and fourth zips will take you 1100 feet across the valley. You will first travel 1100 feet across the valley on the third zip, at a height of 45 feet, and then return across on the fourth zip, at a height of 10 feet. It is nonstop exhiliration!
You may also want to check out the GIANT SWING while you are there, which soars 80 feet in the air. On this Superman-like swing, up to 3 people fly up to a height of approximately 60 feet--a ripcord is pulled, and you are sent flying 180 degrees over the valley! This is an unbelievable experience, and immensely popular! Talk about adrenaline.
After the thrill of the zip line, you'll move over to the ATV tracks for some serious off-road driving! There are 3 different tracks available to accommodate every level of expertise: Beginners, Challenging and Advanced. Our experienced instructors will help even first timers work their way up to the advanced track. Children ages 6 and up can ride the kid's ATVs, while grown up kids will ride 250cc Arctic Cats.
After all the action and adventure of the ATV's and zip wires, it's time to relax and unwind with a fresh juice and delicious home cooking at its best. Lie in a hammock or sit in a swinging chair and let the cool tropical breeze blow away all of life's stresses, or if you wish, take a nature walk through the lush landscape. Your guide will cut down fresh fruit, sugar cane, coconut or whatever else happens to be in season for your enjoyment.
After a relaxing time spent with us your driver will take you back to 'Ochi' for a bit of Duty Free shopping, or even perhaps a cocktail at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville.

From high upon the hill the views of Jamaica's North Coast are spectacular to say the least!

OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA...A Dugopolski |
We were whisked off the boat up the mountains to a garden in the mountain. We made it, but it was a wild ride! The garden was beautiful, and we met the owner which was nice. The staff were all extremely friendly and safety was ALWAYS the highest priority. All the equipment was new and we were never nervous on any of the zip lines. We rented the 4 wheelers as well and that was a blast. It was only the two of us on the 4-wheelers and my husband and I each had our own guide (so I could go slower). My guide was very nice and understanding of my limitations, LOL... and my husband's guide let him go crazy and fly all over the place. OVERALL - Shoretrips.com was perfect. We didn't have to wait in line on the cruise, or have limited selection because of availability. We knew our trips were secured and we didn't have to make any last minute decisions. We also knew that each company had been researched and checked out by shoretrips.com and we knew that we weren't accidentally going to end up on an excursion with questionable people. We asked other people on each of our 3 excursions how much they paid through the ship, and we paid less EVERY time! We will be cruising in 2010 and I will book all of our shore excursions through shoretrips.com! Thank you so much for a non-stressful, wonderful experience!
We were both really pleased with the whole trip. This place was AWESOME! |

OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA...Wenzel Family |
| Our family had a blast on the zipline and ATV excursion last week in Jamaica! There were only 11 of us in the group and the guides were great! Very upbeat and fun! Even though we were a little nervous to be climbing 45 feet up a phone pole and being whisked out over the rainforest it was worth it! And let me not forget the swing knicknamed, "the screamer"...there is a reason for that! Thanks so much Shore Trips, we would definitely recommend you! |

OCHO RIOS, JAMAICA...Jarrett - ShoreTrips Staff |
| This trip was fantastic ! We were greeted right off the ship and then enjoyed the leisurely ride up into the mountains to get to the facility. Once at the facility, we were warmly welcomed by the staff and then given the complete safety check down. The zips were great and the ATV track was exciting and very challenging in places. The location of the facility afforded some fabulous views of the Ocho Rios coastline. A great tour run by a great staff, this is highly recommended. |
