Why book horseback riding with Island Gully Transfer
We are a locally-owned Ocho Rios transportation company. Instead of paying resort mark-ups, you get a private, licensed driver, a fixed fare, and direct access to the best north-coast stable — the same one used by leading Jamaica horseback ride and swim excursions.
What to bring
Wear swimwear under quick-dry clothes, closed-toe shoes for riding, sunscreen and a small waterproof bag for your phone. Guides supply helmets and take photos during the sea swim.
