This was a wild 3 hour shuttle ride from our hotel and when we got there at about 1 pm or so they took our lunch orders and said we do both excursions (each 1 hr a piece) then after those 2 hours we come back to eat. The meal for two people was like $35, very limited options (chicken wings, chicken fingers etc) but it was good food. We did the zip line first. Michael and his partner were good instructors and it was a fun time. Tbh I have done better zip line tours when I was in TN and The Dominican Republic. Where you actually go up a mountain and zip line your way down. This one you climb a tower and then zip line down to some other ones. The cost other times was about the same as this one, but for what it was it was a cool experience for someone who hasn’t done them before. Next we did the ATVs which was why I rated it 3 stars. They didn’t have face coverings to give out for the dust and when I went to buy some they were all out. After you watch the instructional video and demonstration then you get to pick what vehicle you want. After that you ride around the practice track for like 20 minutes. During this phase it looked like they were looking at the vehicles as they passed and inspecting them while waiting to see if any had problems and needed to be switched out. After you do like 8 laps on the practice course then we finally hit the trail. It was such a short ride compared to the one I did in the Dominican Republic. You are only on this trail for like 30 minutes or So. They stop once on the way back at a rest stop. A small make shift stand where you can sign your name on the wood and purchase refreshments ( money grab) because the excursion isn’t that long. Once we finished this excursion we went back to the main building and waited for lunch. They don’t start prepping it until you sit down and give them your ticket number. The wait took forever, almost an hour to make some wings and fries. Then a 3 hour ride back. If you have time get some pastries from the cafe they had in there. The lemon cake I got was bomb, I wish I got some of the other options. Overall a decent experience, I wish the atv ride was an actual hour on the trail and not eaten up with practice rounds. They also have some parrots and other animals you can look at. My other family said the horseback ride was really cool. But beware there is a 240 lb limit for the horses. Which they didn’t mention at the hotel when we booked the excursion so 1 of our group had to sit out.

We booked our excursion through our hotel. We were well aware of the travel time to get there but that was perfectly fine with us. We had different drivers for our shuttle bus each way, both were awesome. We had great conversation and learned alot about the Jamaican culture. On the way there we stopped and the driver took some pictures of us on our phone, on the way back our driver stopped at a local souvenir shop and allowed us to shop. We chose 4 adventures; ATV riding, horseback riding, ziplining, & the jam culture safari ride. For the ATV tour we had Cash as our guide, he was amazing. We rode down to the beach where he took some pictures of us then we stopped by Roger at his little bar. Both Roger and Cash were super friendly and inviting. Next we went horseback riding with Shine & Ian. They guiding us down to the beach where we got to ride the horses in the ocean. We had great conversation and learned alot about their culture. Then we were off to ziplining with Extra Fiya & Ryan, two amazing guides that really enjoy their job and make you feel safe and confident. They were so much fun, very thankful we got to expirence this with them. And finally we did the safari tour with Jessica. She is so knowledgeable about Jamaican history and culture. She answered all our questions and was so friendly. We sampled some traditional Jamaican desserts and Rum, also got to see some crocodile, turtles, snakes, and iguanas. Then we stopped at a bird sanctuary where we got to feed the birds. I can't forget the wonderful cashier Petrenia. We were some of the first guest to arrive that morning and we were greeted with her beautiful singing. She was a delight to talk to and made us feel so welcomed. Overall our whole experience was 10 out of 10. Even though the journey was long, we would absolutely visit this place again.

So we did the ATV and Safari tour the ATV was okay at best you had to follow a group that was usually lagging behind doing 17mph on a ATV I'm paying top dollar for some excitement and was left behind a group of slow riders which quickly turned a decent tour into a much rather boring 😴 one! Couldn't speed wasn't aloud to pass other riders couldn't fishtail or drive erratically, of course, due to safety BORING!!! the Safari was good the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. We did enjoy that, and learning about the history of the island. After our tours we had went and relaxed in the mineral bath another nice addition to the tour but after that all things positive came to a hault and went down hill quickly. Are departure time was 12:30 we were at our location to head back to our resort at 12:30 the guide told us they were going to gather 6 more people and we would be on our way he told us to grab our things and wait for him in the waiting area we did for 20 minutes we heard an announcement for us to load onto the bus we were leaving.My wife and I loaded onto the bus and we sat there just the two of us for over 1 hour the driver comes and says thanks for your patience I'm waiting for dispatch to tell me when to leave reminder departure times are every hour from 10:30am until 5:30pm our departure time was to leave @ 12:30pm long story short they pulled us from the bus we sat on for 1.5 hours unto another bus that didn't end up leaving until 2:15pm there was no applogy no explanation then have the audacity to expect a tip. How about a particial refund for the inconvenience or a complimentary meal or something.

We booked the ATV and zip line with the hotel. Hotel did not make us aware that this is 1hr and 45 minutes away without traffic. In addition food nor drinks are included in the tour and as person whose done all day tours in the caribbean they usually feed you. We did ATV first and started off real bad. We were a group of 12 (split 6, 4 and 2) we were assured by hotel and Jamwest that there are ATVs for 6 ppl and 4 ppl avaliable. When we got to the ATVs the one for 6 ppl was the same for 4. They blamed us for having adults that can't drive and they suggested either group of 6 goes first or the group of 4 which is dumb as the point is for all of us to ride together. They kept saying to one of our group memeber well you don't drive on multiple occasions. Eventually one of the 2 adults drove a 2 person car. You get a test quick instruction to ATV and then you go for a test run. They don't go fast so all you do is get dirt on you no mud. There is a stop for items to be purchased. We have don le ATVs before this by far was the most disappointing. Now to Zip lining, this was great and fun. You go through 7 ropes the staff is amazing. We had a 6 year old with us and she did amazing. This made the experience much better. Bandanna cost $8.00 usd they highly recommend and so do I so bring your own. Restaurant is busy and we did get our food but no water. Coconuts are $3.00 usd and really full buy yourself one. Food is the right amount were is not to much nor to little. The pictures were mot working so couldn't buy none.

This place simply put is a tourist money grab. Expect to sit around unnecessarily. All events can be done quickly but it seems as if the coordinators delay intentionally to get thirsty tourists to buy drinks at bar. We waited two hours for our push kart activity. Brought our concerns to management and asked for a partial refund on our unused activity. They would not offer a refund because they claimed "the activity is open". The park was not that busy. This tells me that they care more about profit than the customers happiness. So this is why I'm posting this review to warn others. ATV ride was waaay too short at only like 30min tops. Super slow, boring and highly monitored follow-the-leader. The advertisement mentioned more like 60-90minutes and maybe that was true years ago before they shortened the trail. Safari was just ok, not many animals. Bird sanctuary lacked parrots and other exotics. Mostly ducks, pigeons and chickens. Overall just a terrible experience and wasted money and really soured me on the last day of our otherwise amazing trip. If you're a tourist reading this, please save your cash and avoid. The best part of this excursion was sitting in the front seat of the bus for the 2hr drive to/from resort and seeing the sights, sounds, and scenery of Jamaica off the beaten paths and away from the manicured resorts.

So were arrived around 12:15 or 12:30. We came from our resort in Montego Bay. We did the zipline and atv combo. We signed a waiver and did the zipline first. It was a lot of fun. Our guides were so energetic and fun. I'm sorry I only remember one out of the three and his name was Jimmy. We did the zipline from about eight towers and they were high up which made me a little nervous but I still enjoyed it. They tell you not to take pictures or bring your camera. The pictures that they take for you to buy are just okay. The atv was the best! It was muddy because it rained the day before and a little while we were there. We rode through a tunnel and we stopped by the sea where we got the see the best view. It was nice to just take it all in. There was also a place to grab lunch and drinks. Our package also included a stop at Rick's Cafe. I have been wanting to go there for years! The sunset was beautiful from here. Here's a tip: We went with a group so when we were done we waited for what seemed like forever for everyone else in our group to finish. I would say go with a private driver so you can be on your own time. We only got to spend 20 mins at Rick's Cafe, which is not enough. I wanted to see more the the cliff diving, eat the food, and see more of the entertainment. I would definitely recommend doing this excursion.
