Okay so if you have been to Mystic Mountain in Ocho Rios Jamaica, then you know it’s an amazing time! If not then keep on reading to find out how you can have the best time Mystic Mountain.

Mystic Mountain is located in Ocho Rios, Jamaica located 700 feet above sea level at the top of the mountain. I have been to Mystic Mountain twice. I love it there! The first time I went, I went with my mom, on a bus with a group of people from the hotel I was staying at, and from other hotels nearby. The second time I went with my fiance and we got a private driver. I would recommend getting a private driver because you are on your own time. Not that I mind traveling with other people but we got to talk to the driver and learn a little more about Jamaica but with a private driver, you don’t have to wait around for other people in your group to finish activities,and it was a more intimate experience. It very was nice.

We got the package where we did the did the sky lift, zipline,and bobsled. We also had lunch included. They have an option to do all four which would include Dunn’s River Falls where you climb waterfalls. The sky lift takes you up to where you will do your activities. While you ride up you have the most amazing view. They also have a water slide and pool. It’s nice to watch people on the slide while you grab a bite to eat. The views are amazing! The restaurant overlooks some of the water and mountains. It’s beautiful!

This is the view down while on the sky lift.

Beautiful view of Ocho Rios from the restaurant.

We did zip-lining first which was so fun! You are in the woods with the instructors and other people. It’s so fun because everyone is just there to have a good time.

Next we did bobsledding which is my fave! It’s like you are on a mini roller coaster. I love it. You have the option to purchase your pics from both activities.

I am afraid of heights but when I do the zip line I let it go and just have fun. The guides made it fun for us. Once we were done with our activities we had lunch in the restaurant which was jerk chicken with rice and peas. I’m sorry I didn’t get any pics of the food. I hope to go back and I would definitely recommend that you take a trip to Mystic Mountain it’s a blast!

Hey everyone! Here is my review for my excursion that I went to when I stayed in Jamaica a few weeks ago.

We stayed at Secrets Wild Orchid which is in Montego Bay so we had an hour and a half ride there. You can pick and choose the type of packages you would like to do which include, ATV, zipline, safari, and horseback riding. They also have a free mineral bath.

We chose the ATV zipline package. Our tour guides were super fun and energetic! I was a little nervous to do the zipline because we were up so high but it was an amazing experience. We ziplined from 8 different towers. They tell you not to take your camera or bring your phone. They do have people who take your picture on the zipline and atv.

Atv was so much fun! It rained the night before and was also raining a little during so it was muddy. We went through a tunnel and once we did that we stopped by the sea and just took it all in. It was so beautiful!

Once we were done with everything we had lunch. I got fish fingers with fries and fried bammy. It was so good! I also got a Ting to help wash it all down.
