Mystic Mountain Adventure

Ocho Rios in Jamaica is blessed with a place where in one can view Ocho Rios or the country itself on a different view point. So if you’re tired of exploring the lowlands of Jamaica, why not try exploring it close to the sky? 

One significant aspect of Mystic Mountain is its location. It is in the heart of Ocho Rios and just five minutes away from the other popular tourist site in Jamaica, the Dunn’s River Falls. The Mystic Mountain, coming from its name is indeed a magical place for tourists of all walks of life. Consider the richness of the ecosystem you’ll get to observe, and take time to relax and be in one with nature as the views serenade you.

In Mystic Mountain are three nature trip adventures that you’ll surely desire to try:

Bobsledding in Jamaica. As you approach Mystic Mountain, you might first hear of this one that is their signature attraction. The idea of this ride is inspired by the Jamaican Bobsledding team that represents the country during competitions. This is a 100 meter high-tech sled that is completely controlled by gravity. The tour extends from the Mountain through the landscapes in Jamaica and up to the coastal views. What’s important to note is that the sled has a break on the side that will enable you to control the speed of your own sled.

Be lifted by the Sky Explorer. The Sky Explorer will be the one to welcome you as you enter the Mystic Mountain. It is a state-of-the-art chairlift that is tasked to bring the visitors 700 feet higher to the top of the Mountain. Consequently, this is the first ride that will give you a sneak peek of the nature’s abundance in Jamaica. The Sky Explorer is also a way for you to ride the Bobsled. Lastly, as you enjoy the view and the feeling being on top, you will be filled with knowledge of the culture and people of Jamaica.

Slide through the Zip line. This might probably be the most familiar rainforest adventure to you, but the way Mystic Mountain have it is different. The zip line tour is composed of a series of suspended lines that allow you to glide through the rainforest canopy with ease. Once you’re done, the Sky Explorer will bring you back to the mountain. 

This is that kind of adventure that will not let you walk with your feet on the ground. In Mystic Mountain, it always feels like flying.
