A light morning breeze pushes salt and green into the back of the throat as the van eases away from Negril. Twenty-five minutes later riders mount at a working ranch and thread a shaded trail that opens onto a private stretch of beach; horses step into the surf and the sea nudges at their flanks. The route then climbs into the island’s low mountains, where a ribbon of clear water pulls you toward Mayfield Falls.
