The surf tones down to a warm hiss as you climb into the saddle and a guide checks your stirrups. Palms lean toward the track, ocean wind threads through mane and bridle, and the trail unfurls through scrub, coconut stands and the low limestone ridges that edge Negril’s coastline. Within minutes you’re skirting shoreline where the sea dares you to follow—then the horses willingly step waist‑deep into turquoise water for a brief, unforgettable swim.

Negril’s coast sits on uplifted coral limestone; fishing villages like Salmon Point have long relied on reef fisheries and small‑scale agriculture tied to parish life.
Conservation
Respect local reef conditions—avoid wearing sunscreens with oxybenzone and stay off delicate corals; the operation limits riders per group to minimize trail erosion.
