More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The motorboat cuts a clean line across Montego Bay, spray spitting like a dare. You step onto the deck, the harness snug at your shoulders, and in minutes the canopy tugs you up; the island loosens beneath your feet and the reef-streaked water slides away. From 100–300 feet you’ll see the curve of the coastline, pale sand at Doctor’s Cave and the darker laces of offshore coral and seagrass beds.
