The morning opens on a sun-bright stretch of Jamaican roadway as your private van peels away from Montego Bay toward the Garden Parish. Palm fronds slap the air, the countryside unfolding in rolling green and the distant chatter of village life guiding you toward Ocho Rios. By midday you trade the hum of the highway for a bamboo raft’s slow push, a horseback walk through local lanes, and the raw throttle of an ATV on forest trails.
