More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll away from Ocho Rios in a private van, sea breeze teasing the windows and the road opening into scrubby limestone ridges. The ride is part of the day: two custom stops—maybe a seaside café or a roadside fruit stall—set the tone before helmets and saddles. On the trail the island changes rhythm: engines grumble over coral-rock tracks, then clip-clop leather as horses pick their way down to the surf where the ocean seems to dare you closer.
