Jamaica Bobsled Adventure from Port Antonio: Mystic Mountain Sky Explorer, Waterslides & Nature Trail
Take a full-day outing from Port Antonio to Mystic Mountain for the Sky Explorer chairlift, the Jamaica-inspired bobsled track, a nature trail and waterslides. Expect dramatic coastal views, a quick adrenaline hit, and plenty of poolside downtime.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear swimwear under clothes
You’ll want to use the infinity pool and waterslide—wear your swimsuit under your outfit to save time and bring a towel.
Mind the limits
Minimum height is 46 in (1.17 m) and max weight per rider 300 lbs (136 kg); not recommended if pregnant or with spinal issues.
Arrive hydrated and sun-ready
Bring a refillable water bottle and reef-safe sunscreen—the chairlift and ridgeline are exposed to sun and wind.
Footwear for the trail
Sturdy closed-toe shoes are recommended for the nature trail; sandals are fine for pool areas but not for hikes.
