Horseback Ride and Swim At Braco

Explore the historic Braco plantation on horseback before experiencing the thrill of riding in the Caribbean surf.

After meeting your driver and small group at the pier, you will travel along the coast, passing the quaint town of Falmouth on your way to Braco Stables, approximately 45 minutes away.

Braco Great House was built in the mid-18th century and served as a successful sugar plantation and refinery. The original building still stands and currently houses a pimento leaf oil factory. Oil is extracted from the leaves through a condensation process. This oil is exported and used in the preservation of meat and also as a base for many perfumes.

Trail Masters will pair you with a horse to match your riding ability, and then you are off, weaving your way through the countryside, passing through the Braco estate as well as seeing smaller estates along the way. The trail ride meanders down to the north coast shoreline and a private and beautiful beach area. Here, guests are allowed to swim bareback and frolic with the horse in the magnificent Caribbean Sea. Crystal-clear waters and white sands make for great swimming and photo/video opportunities. Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience of swimming on your horse in paradise. With this experience, you will enjoy riding the horse for approximately 45 minutes, which includes the swim section of approximately 5 minutes.

The ride concludes by the gardens brimming with pimento trees, bougainvillea, and fishtail palms. Lounge with a cool drink from the gazebo and spy on the hummingbirds gossiping with the orchids. Come sample the famous beauty and hospitality of Trelawny, Jamaica!

Returning to the Montego Bay area, you will make a stop for approximately 40 minutes at the Shoppes at Rose Hall, where you can shop or relax with a cup of Blue Mountain coffee. You will then have a driving orientation along the "hip strip" of Montego Bay, the most popular area with visitors.
