You climb into an air‑conditioned van at first light and the guide steers inland, away from Negril’s beaches toward green hills where sugar cane rows slope into limestone gullies. The engine hum of the brand‑new side-by‑side ATVs fades into birdsong as the vehicles ease onto dirt lanes, the landscape opening to a roaring river that dares you to wade into mineral pools warmed by the sun.
