You will start this adventure by meeting with your guide inside your Ocho Rios cruise ship terminal. You'll be shown the transportation, and the ride to the Sky Explorer will only take about 6-minutes. Then board the roomy chairlift, safe for children too, seatbelts will be provided, and get ready for some photo-worthy sights as you head up Mystic Mountain. You'll be right in the middle of a rainforest surrounded by lush, tropical foliage. Keep an eye out for the birds and check out the city of Ocho Rios from a stunning height. The ride up to the top takes about 20 minutes.
Once you arrive at the top, you'll enjoy an hour of free time to just wander around Mystic Mountain Park. There is a specifically designed butterfly garden that is open, not caged. They did the same with a hummingbird garden; designed with feeders and specific flowers to attract the attention of the little guys. Learn about the history of Jamaica and the ecosystem preservation techniques in the Mystic Pavilion, or grab a photo on top of the Lookout Tower where you can see for miles. Time permitting, there is also a swimming pool with a great water slide and an infinity pool with quite a view.
The Mystic Pavilion has a high ceiling and includes lots of the history of Jamaica, and the techniques being used to preserve the ecosystem. Small shops, interesting displays, and a lookout tower where you can get some amazing photos of the beauty of Jamaica. If time allows, there is also a swimming pool with a waterslide, but bring your own towel.
When the time comes to an end you'll ride the Sky Explorer back down the mountain and board your transportation for the ride back to your Ocho Rios cruise ship terminal. Then you can decide what to do next, and you'll still have plenty of time in your day.
Want to take in the beauty of Ocho Rios, but not spend the whole day on one excursion? Then this is perfect for you. Ride the Sky Explorer to the top of Mystic Mountain for some incredible views and other activities.
