Go Bobsledding in the Rainforest at Mystic Mountain

If you grew up watching the movie “Cool Runnings”, you’ll understand why bobsledding in Jamaica is a bucket-list-worthy adventure. For those who haven’t seen the film, it’s about the unlikely tale of the Jamaica National Bobsled team that competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics. Located just 10 minutes west of downtown Ocho Rios, the bobsled track runs through Mystic Mountain, an outdoor adventure-themed park near Dunn’s River Falls. Hop into your sled and let the gravity take you on a speedy journey along the winding tracks through the forest—just make sure to pull on the break when you want to admire the gorgeous ocean views. For a real treat, ride the Sky Explorer, a chairlift that slowly carries you 700 feet above the canopy.
