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, you will be given a helmet and led outside to be fitted with your life jacket and propulsion gloves. You'll receive some final safety instructions from your guide and then you will be on your way, as you're led across the IRIE Bridge and into the rainforest. Your 10 minute walk along the jungle path leads you to the launching point of your river adventure. Now it's time to jump into the cool water and begin your exciting journey downstream! You tube over various areas of splashing rapids as you paddle your way through the many twists and turns of the river. As you pass under the old stone bridge, the river currents carry you on a relaxing ride towards the Caribbean Sea. Once you reach the river delta, paddle over some small waves that will carry you to the sandy shores of Bengal Bay. You walk along the shore for about 5 minutes before arriving at Bengal Beach for some time to relax, or swim in the sea.
