Zipline and Boblsed Ride at Mystic Mountain, Jamaica

Arriving at the top of Mystic Mountain, Jamaica via the Skyride, we noticed that there was a more to experience than just the zipline and the bobsled ride…

But before checking the other attractions, we headed straight for the zipline!

After getting geared up, we headed down the path towards the first platform.

The zipline at Mystic Mountain offers:

  • Seven platforms
  • Six Zip lines averaging nearly 100 meters in length
  • One 10-meter vertical rappel descent
  • One 25-meter suspension walking bridge

The first 5 lines were a ton of fun! Our guides were great – very attentive and hilarious. Once we got to the 6th platform, we couldn’t locate the next line. Our guide told us that this was where we would be taking a vertical descent – a nicer way of saying a longggggg drop! Most were a little nervous about the drop, but it ended up being easier than it looked.

Vertical Rappel Descent (aka: big drop)

Next obstacle – the suspension bridge. A long bridge with a little play led to a little more nervous laughter and the final zip.

The last zip was the best with a fantastic view of the ocean.

Next stop – the Jamaican Bobsled.

An exhilarating ride through the rainforest! The only problem? It was over too soon!

Before heading back down on the Skyride, we headed to Mystic Dining to enjoy some refreshment and the amazing view of the port at Ocho Rios.

Mystic Mountain, Ocho Rios, Jamaica

The thought of zipping through the jungle on a Jamaican Bobsled hooked us into booking an excursion at Mystic Mountain near Ocho Rios during our recent trip to Jamaica. Apparently inspired by the movie Cool Runnings, Mystic Mountain offers not only a ride that hurtles you down the mountain in bobsled shaped cars, but a zipline, swimming pool with slide and a restaurant that offers a terrific view of Ocho Rios below.

We opted for the “Tranopy” ticket which covered the cost of the skyride through the jungle to get to the top, the zipline adventure and one ride on the bobsled.

Just past the ticket office, we boarded the skyride for a scenic 15 minute ride up the mountain.

Slow and smooth, the skyride gives an excellent view of lush foliage and as it moves higher, the cruise ship port of Ocho Rios.
