Crave adventure? You're one cheap flight away from Jamaica
In your mind's eye, Jamaica might conjure images of lush tropical jungle and the pristine blue ocean. But for the adventurous soul, Jamaica is the backdrop for some of the best extreme activities that will leave you in speechless awe as your adrenaline pumps.
Jamaica vacations offer the best of many worlds, and adventure travelers continue to flock to this location for their next jaw dropping experience. Here are some of the island's best offerings for those who don't mind having their heart skip a beat:
1. Get closer to nature and camp in the wild
If you love nature and want to get up close and personal with the creatures of the jungle, consider a camping trip to a serene location in the Jamaican mountains. Hop on one of the cheap flights to Montego Bay and you'll be well on your way to seeing the jungle like you never have before. A guide can take you to the best camping locations and also provide you with some rental gear.
2. Zipline your way down the Jamaican mountainside
The zipline is a popular activity throughout Jamaica. You'll be able to zoom down the hillside, over a tropical valley, or around the lush jungle canopy as you dangle from a rope from point A to point B. The great thing about ziplining is it can be appropriate for the whole family. When you zip down the mountain with your kids right behind you, you're guaranteed to bond like you never have before.
3. Cliff jumping for a rush into the ocean
Don't be surprised if you are minding your own business only to look over to see a Jamaican local doing elaborate cliff dives for your entertainment. For the not-so-faint-of-heart, cliff jumping can be the ultimate thrill. Some pools in Jamaica are built right into the cliffs so jumping is as convenient as ever! Remember, cliff jumping can be dangerous and if you do decide to take the plunge, make sure someone with experience explains any rocks or other water concerns you should be aware of. Otherwise, prepare to feel your heart drop (and try to avoid a belly flop).
4. Ride the ravenous rapids
The sun is scorching and a river rafting adventure is just what you need to wake up and cool down. A variety of guided rafting tours is available for those that dare to ride the rough waters of the Jamaican rivers. Most tours start out slow as you enjoy the beautiful jungle surroundings. But before you know it, you'll be hit by the bumpy waves that toss your raft around like a ragdoll. Feel the rush as the water splashes from every angle.
5. ATV your way through a jungle safari
You thought your cheap flights to Jamaica were the way to travel, but ATVs are a great travel option for navigating through Jamaica once you are there. Experience the exotic jungle up close and personal with your own ATV that will roll through the rough terrain and even some rivers. You'll be able to discover the local flora and fauna, secret villages, remote waterfalls and crystal clear pools. You'll love having an ATV that can get you through just about anything to find the hidden treasures of Jamaica.
