You'll start this great day by meeting your driver/guide right inside the cruise ship terminal. Then it will be just about 6 minutes to the base of Mystic Mountain, the Sky Explorer. This is a chair lift ride that slowly goes up the mountain to the park. You will see views of Ocho Rios and Dunn's River Falls along the way. The ride is approximately 20 minutes.
Once at the top of Mystic Mountain there is so much to do. You will head off to the Bobsled Ride, which was inspired by the 1988 Olympic Bobsled Team from Jamaica. You'll travel 1,000 meters (almost a mile long) on a track that was built into the side of a mountain. With gravity and the rollers on the bottom of the "bobsled" doing all the work, you can choose to slow down to see the sights or take it at full speed the whole way. The ride typically takes 10 minutes.
Finally, you're off to the zip-line course. You'll be given safety instructions and all the gear you need. Enjoy flying over the treetops on 6 platforms and 5 zip lines that average 100 meters (328 feet) each. One experienced staff member will hook your harness onto the zipline, then gravity will take you over to the next platform where another staff member is waiting for you. Also included is a suspension bridge that is 25 meters (82 feet) and lots of fun to walk across. Mystic Mountain uses double lines for added safety!
After all these thrilling experiences, it's time to slow down a bit and enjoy the many other attractions at Mystic Mountain. There is a butterfly garden that is open-aired but designed with specific plants to attract the region's colorful, tropical butterflies. You can visit the hummingbird garden where again it is designed with specific flowers and artfully placed feeders to attract the region's hummingbirds.
You can take a stroll along a nature trail, or learn about Jamaican history in the Mystic Pavilion. Maybe you'd like to cool off on the seamless waterslide or sit alongside an infinity pool while taking in the views. There are lots of choices on Mystic Mountain during your 2.25 hours at the top.
But, all days must end sometime. After you take the chairlift back down, your transportation will return you to the meeting point at your cruise ship pier.
A fun combo adventure at Mystic Mountain. Ride a chairlift up a mountain through a rainforest, then go on a Bobsled Ride, and end with a zip-line experience to top it off!
