Beach Horseback Ride and Tubing
Take our Beach Horseback Riding and River Tubing Tour in Ocho Rios and two things are certain: you'll have the time of your life, and you'll never want to return to civilization!
Embark on your Beach Horseback Ride and Swim adventure as you're welcomed by your driver/tour guide. Upon your arrival at the Horseback Ride facility, you'll be greeted by friendly staff members who will warmly welcome you and ensure you're ready for an enjoyable experience.
Prior to commencing your journey, you'll receive a safety briefing to ensure a secure and enjoyable experience. Helmets will be provided for your safety. All participants will be riding in a single file formation. Since most participants are inexperienced, the ride will proceed at a slow pace along the trail.
The horses will have the opportunity to trot briefly at certain spots along the route. Embark on a ride through the woodland areas where the Taino Indians once hunted for food. While passing through a natural wetland shaded by almond, coconut, and various other tree species, take note of the ongoing excavations being carried out by archaeologists eager to uncover the region's rich past. Seize this unique opportunity to swim with your horse in paradise, an experience of a lifetime. You will enjoy riding the horse for around 70 minutes during this excursion, which also includes a swim portion in the water for at least 10 minutes.
You will then drive to the White River, where you will greeted by one of your river guides upon arrival. Your tour guide will direct you to the registration office for check in and mandatory signing of a waiver form. After signing the waiver form, receive a tube, then you will be directed down the many steps to the starting point for your lazy float down the river with your guide. Now it's time to jump into the cool water and begin your exciting journey downstream! A stop will be made where you can swing on a rope and fall in the river before continuing on. The float usually takes between 45 and 55 minutes. Your driver will safeguard your belongings during the trip, and will meet you at the end of the river for the return drive to Falmouth.
