Horseback Ride 'N Swim

OVERVIEW

Ride horseback through the beautiful countryside surrounding the Chukka Ocean Outpost at Sandy Bay and then relax at the waterfront adventure center. After being paired with a horse suited to your riding abilities, you will mount up and trot off into the picturesque rural landscape. One of the highlights will be riding through the Blue Hole Estate, an 18th-century sugar plantation now mostly in ruins. The guide will likely point out a breadfruit tree on the estate that is supposedly a descendant of the ones that the notorious Captain Bligh brought to Jamaica in 1793. You will also ride past small villages, across a river bed and through a mangrove forest before returning to the Chukka outpost. There, you will be free to enjoy the generous amenities. You might swim in the sea, stretch out on the beach and relax around the infinity pool while listening to reggae, a music genre that originated in Jamaica.
