Top Jamaica Horseback Riding

This was truly one of the most beautiful experiences we had in Jamaica. The property itself is stunning—over 900 acres of land where the horses are free to roam, which made the entire experience feel natural, peaceful, and well cared for. My husband rode a horse for the very first time, and we both got to ride in the ocean for the first time—something we will never forget. (He was convinced he was a Jamaican cowboy by the end 😂) Our guide, Rashid, was absolutely amazing. He was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to teach us about Jamaican culture, the land, and the wildlife along the way. He also captured incredible photos and videos for us, which made the experience even more special. And as a bonus, we even saw peacocks on the property—which made my day! If you’re considering a horseback riding experience in Jamaica, I highly recommend Reggae Horseback Riding. It felt authentic, relaxed, and unforgettable.

This experience was a 10/10 during our time in Jamaica. Dwain was a wonderful guide. He got us where we needed to go, and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We started off with bamboo rafting which was very relaxing and scenic. The ATV tours were conveniently at the same site and the route was a lot of fun! We rode on multiple types of terrain including dirt, paved road, and in the water! The route had a good variety of beach views versus tree lined trails. On our way to horseback riding, Dwain pre-ordered jerk chicken for us at Chimney's Bar and Grill. It was delicious! The guides for horseback riding took a ton of pictures for us on the horses throughout the entire ride. The horses were well trained and well behaved. Riding horseback through the ocean was an experience I will never forget.

This trip is unforgettable! And if Copely is your driver, he will make it even more memorable. Very knowledgeable and engaging. I always ask tons of questions, and he was very open and happy to answer them. He knows a lot about the island and shared many stories along the way. Also very patient and nice. And of course, the Bob Marley tour itself is a must when you’re in Jamaica. 200 out of 100 🤩 Totally recommend!

Horse back riding has been on my bucket list for awhile. I did it and loved it. You don't have to know how to ride a horse. The horse knows the path and where to go which was nice. Bamboo rafting was amazing. I loved it. Our guide was very helpful and kind. He explained to us how the raft was made. We felt safe and special. Our transportation guide was awesome. He was patient with us. This excursion is a must do!!!

Really insightful tour to understand the origins and story of the great man, Bob Marley. We were lucky to have the legendary Captain Crazy as our guide who was an amazing character and storyteller – full of charm wit and endless jokes. Crazy by name, crazy by nature.

We had such an amazing time horseback riding! Suzette and the guides were absolutely wonderful—so kind, patient, and made us feel completely comfortable. The horses were gentle and clearly well cared for, which made the whole experience so relaxing and fun. The scenery was breathtaking—riding by the water and along the trails felt magical and unforgettable. Everything was well organized, and it truly ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Jamaica!

We booked the Jamaica Combo Tour: Dunn's River Falls and Bob Marley’s Nine Mile, including the optional Luminous Lagoon add-on, and overall, it was a fantastic experience! Hotel Pickup & Tour Overview: Our day started with a prompt hotel pickup around 8:30 AM—we were the second stop, and a few more guests were picked up after us. Mr. Washington, our bilingual tour guide, did an excellent job keeping everyone informed and comfortable throughout the day. He made the experience fun and seamless. Stop 1 – Souvenir & Rum Shop: Our first stop was a souvenir shop that also offered free alcohol samples. I highly recommend trying Sangster’s Coconut Jamaica Rum Cream—it's delicious on its own and even better over ice. Definitely worth purchasing a bottle to bring home! Stop 2 – Dunn’s River Falls: Next, we visited the famous Dunn’s River Falls—and it was truly amazing! When you first see the waterfall, it’s hard to imagine making it to the top, but the guides are so helpful and encouraging. There are plenty of rest stops and chances to swim or slide along the way, so don't worry about getting too tired. I wore water shoes for the entire tour, and they were perfect for this part. Stop 3 – Lunch at Mongoose Restaurant: After the falls, we stopped for lunch, which was included in the tour. The food was decent, but I wish there was an option to request white or dark meat, and personally would’ve preferred dark. Stop 4 – Bob Marley’s Nine Mile Tour: From there, we made our way to Nine Mile. The drive up into the mountains was beautiful, and the tour itself was very interesting. We got to walk through Bob Marley’s childhood home and final resting place, visit Mt. Zion Rock, and learn more about his life from our guide. Be prepared—this is a full-day experience, and by this point, we were definitely feeling it! Stop 5 – Dinner & Luminous Lagoon (Optional Add-On): Since we had added the Luminous Lagoon to our tour, we continued on after Nine Mile for dinner and the lagoon experience. Dinner was served family-style at Joe James Gallery. The setting by the sea was lovely, but again, I got white meat (lol) and overall, the food was just okay. The Luminous Lagoon was our final stop. The entrance area felt like a small nightclub that also sold food, but once you walk through to the dock, it becomes all about the lagoon experience. You don’t have to swim—it’s optional—but by that point, we were just too exhausted to get in, even though it looked really cool. We got back to our resort around 9:30 PM, making it a 13-hour day. Final Thoughts & Tips: This tour is packed with amazing stops and gives you a chance to experience the real Jamaica beyond the resort. I’d definitely recommend it to others—but keep in mind, it’s a long day. If you're staying at a nice resort and want some time to relax, consider skipping the lagoon add-on and doing it on a separate day. We wish we had, just so we could fully enjoy it. All in all, it was a great adventure—fun, informative, and a true highlight of our trip to Jamaica!
