Overview
Your Horseback Ride and Swim Adventure starts with pickup from your hotel lobby or cruise port as you are driven in comfort on a scenic roadway to the Braco Estate.
Your group of experienced guides, who will be with you every step of the way, will provide an introductory session to ensure your safety and full enjoyment of the tour. The ride commences from the stables, from there you are taken through the scenic countryside, passing tranquil farmlands of locals living close by. The friendly and humorous guides give a narration of the scenery and area, telling the story of Jamaica. There is even an old abandoned airstrip, which was built during the Second World War and was later used for the smuggling of marijuana “ganja”.
The trail ride meanders down to the north coast shoreline and takes you to a private and beautiful beach area. Here guests are given the opportunity to swim bareback and frolic with the horse in the magnificent Caribbean Sea. The sea is crystal clear and white sands allow for great swimming and picture-taking opportunities. The ride concludes by the gardens brimming with pimento trees, bougainvillaea and fishtail palms. Lounge with a cool drink under the gazebo and spy on the hummingbirds gossiping with the orchids.
On the way back, have lunch (meals and drinks not included) at one of Jamaica’s famous jerk centres or local eateries, enjoying the delicious meal with an ice cold Red Stripe beer or tropical fruit drink before heading back to your hotel or cruise ship with a heart filled with Jamaica!
