If you love nature and are looking for an adventure, then discover nature at its finest on a guided bicycle tour down the hills of the Blue Mountains.

The Blue Mountain Bicycle Tour is an all-day, all-inclusive bicycle ride down the famous Blue Mountains. The experience is a truly delightful one filled with great adventure and of course gorgeous scenery.

The expedition begins with a pick-up in Ocho Rios, St Ann or Montego Bay, St James usually from hotels or resorts. You will then be transported in a comfortable, air-conditioned bus, while on the bus you’ll receive a quick history lesson about Jamaica’s interesting past.

SHORT STOPS AT HISTORICAL SITES

On route to the Blue Mountains, the bus will make short stops at historical sites and the drive will take you past banana plantations and local outdoor markets.

The first stop in the mountains will be an open-air restaurant located at 2,600 feet above sea level, where you’ll enjoy a sumptuous Jamaican brunch served along with as much authentic Blue Mountain coffee as you can drink.

After brunch you’ll be fitted with protective gear in preparation for a thrilling downhill ride. You’ll be taken to an elevation of 5,600 feet, where you’ll select your bike and enjoy some great scenic landscapes.
