We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
You'll ride at Braco Stables in Trelawny, often including a swim with the horses in calm sea, then pick one river activity on the Rio Bueno. Lunch and beach time at Bengal Bay wrap it up.
The day starts in the countryside at Braco Stables: a guided ride through Trelawny trails and, when the sea is calm, a controlled swim with the horses in shallow water. Helmets and a barn briefing come first. Plan on about two hours at the stables including that ocean bit.
Then you suit up at River Rapids Jamaica for one activity on your trip: jungle tubing, rafting, kayaking or river boarding on gentler class one and two water, with rope-swing stops when guides say yes. You finish at Bengal Beach for Jamaican lunch, drinks and a swim before we drive you back. Shared weekday departures are common, so ask if you need a private vehicle on your dates.
This loop stays in Trelawny: Braco near Duncans, the Rio Bueno put-in inland, then Bengal Beach where the river meets white sand. The valley roads make the day feel far from the hotel strip even when the drive is not that long.
Pickup covers Falmouth, Montego Bay, Runaway Bay and Grand Palladium on shared weekdays. Bengal Bay is a nice place to finish after saddle time and spray, with lunch on the sand before you head back.
You must be comfortable riding a horse on a guided trail, including a shallow sea swim when conditions allow, and handling moving water on your chosen river craft. The stables and river crew will ask about weight and age before you mount or launch.
Long trousers or shorts for the saddle and water shoes for the river keep both halves comfortable. Bring a change for the return after salt and fresh water, and tell us how much riding you have done so the trail and ocean swim can be paced properly.
Horseback plus a river activity plus lunch is a lot to line up yourself from the resort desk. We stitch barn time, river gear-up, beach lunch and the transfers into one inland loop.
Safety talks at the stables and on the water use the same calm tone so families know what is coming. Drivers who know weekday barn slots and river launches try not to cut the ocean swim short.
We collect you from your north-coast hotel, then the van turns toward Duncans while the driver explains the ride, the river choice and lunch at Bengal Bay. Closed-toe shoes should already be on for the stirrups.
Swimwear can sit under riding clothes or in the bag for a quick change before the ocean swim. This morning is more countryside than coast until the horses enter the shallows.
After helmets and a barn briefing you ride Trelawny trails, then, when conditions allow, slide into a controlled swim with the horses in calm shallow sea. The whole stable visit is about two hours, and guides stay close in the water.
Long shorts or trousers work better in the saddle than swimwear alone. Once you dismount there is time to change before the short transfer to the Rio Bueno put-in.
At River Rapids Jamaica the crew fits you for the one activity on your trip: tubing, kayaking, rafting or river boarding on gentler class one and two sections. Age and weight limits are checked at the base before anyone launches.
Rope-swing stops appear when the water and the group allow. Guides stay with you downstream until the river opens toward the coast and Bengal Beach.
White sand at the river mouth is where the Jamaican lunch and drinks show up, with time to swim off the last of the rapids. Reggae on the beach is part of the atmosphere rather than a separate show.
Rinse off river and salt water before the air-conditioned ride home. Drop-off is the same hotel, and the driver will confirm the entrance after a day that has included horses, rapids and sea.
We collect you from your hotel in Falmouth, Montego Bay, Runaway Bay or the Grand Palladium corridor. Share your property name when you book so the driver can confirm the morning pickup window.
Return drop-off uses the same hotel after Bengal Beach.
We collect guests from hotels in Falmouth, Montego Bay, Runaway Bay and along the Grand Palladium corridor. Tell us your property name when you reserve so we can confirm the morning pickup window.
Return drop-off is at the same hotel after beach time unless you arrange something different with your driver.
Your reservation bundles one river activity such as jungle tubing, kayaking, white-water rafting or river boarding on class one and two sections. Tell us your preference when you book so gear and guides are ready.
Each craft has age and weight guidance the crew will confirm at the river base. Message us before travel if you want any detail double-checked so pickup and timing feel clear on the day.
Plan around two hours at Braco Stables for trail riding through Trelawny countryside and the memorable bareback swim with horses in calm sea water. Helmets and a safety briefing are provided on site.
Long trousers or shorts and closed-toe shoes suit the saddle portion before you change for the ocean segment.
Authentic Jamaican lunch and drinks at Bengal Bay are included after the river segment finishes at the white sand beach where the Rio Bueno meets the sea. Allow time to swim and relax before the drive back.
Vegetarian options may be limited; mention dietary needs when you book. Message us before travel if you want any detail double-checked so pickup and timing feel clear on the day.
Riders should be comfortable mounting and following guide instructions on trails and in shallow surf. River sections need basic swimming confidence and ability to follow hand signals on rapids.
Share experience levels when you book so guides can pace the day. Message us before travel if you want any detail double-checked so pickup and timing feel clear on the day.
Shared departures may run on set weekdays while private groups can often choose other days. Ask when you reserve if your travel dates need a private vehicle.
Morning pickup times depend on your hotel corridor and stable scheduling. Message us before travel if you want any detail double-checked so pickup and timing feel clear on the day.
Water shoes or sneakers with grip help on river put-ins and the beach. Swimwear under riding clothes makes changing faster between stable, river and sea segments.
Bring sunblock, a towel and a dry change for the return drive. Message us before travel if you want any detail double-checked so pickup and timing feel clear on the day.
Families with older children often enjoy the combo when they meet height and weight rules for riding and the river craft selected. Younger guests may need to skip certain rapid options.
Let us know ages when you book so stable and river crews can advise. Message us before travel if you want any detail double-checked so pickup and timing feel clear on the day.
Heavy rain can raise river levels and stable operators may adjust riding or river routing for safety. Light showers often still allow riding with caution.
Keep your phone reachable on travel morning in case the driver sends an updated pickup time.
Horseback riding, one river rapid adventure, beach access and lunch covered by your reservation are included when you book this package. Your confirmation email lists exactly what is part of your day.
Optional extras on site are paid locally. Message us before travel if you want any detail double-checked so pickup and timing feel clear on the day.
About the centre
Trelawny
We run guided day trips and private excursions across Jamaica's north coast, from Montego Bay and Falmouth to Runaway Bay and the resort corridors guests know best. Whether you want waterfall climbs, lagoon evenings, safari boats on the Black River, or a mix of culture and coast, we keep pickup simple and the day moving at a relaxed island pace.
Our drivers and guides live and work in the communities we visit, so you get clear briefings, honest timing, and help choosing the right outing for your hotel base. We focus on safe transport, included admissions where the package allows, and time in the water and on the trails rather than rushed photo stops.
