Want to explore more of what Jamaica has to offer? There are a number of excursions available as well provided by the Hilton’s partners.
Ziplining is a popular activity for visitors to Montego Bay. Adrenaline-pumping, and an unforgettable way to experience the lush Jamaican scenery and landscape while soaring high atop the jungle canopy.
Ziplining is often packaged with other activities, such as a horseback ride- with a swim thrown in. You’ll horseback ride through the hills and possibly even into the ocean for a dip with your horse—just be sure to take your swimsuit. Most deals also include ATV tours to be able to better explore the infamously rugged and mountainous Jamaican terrain.
Combo tours will typically take you to the Dunns River Falls, a 180 ft (54 m) tall waterfall that was also featured in the James Bond movie “Dr. No”. At the bottom of the falls, you’ll find a white sand beach met by the Caribbean. Once you’ve climbed the Falls-–it’s possible to do a wet or dry climb—you can take a swim and enjoy the cool mountain water. Finally, end the day by ziplining across the falls for a different and thrilling perspective.
For corporate events and special occasions, the Hilton Rose Hall is fully prepared with 14,000sq ft (1300 sq m) of indoor meeting space and 30,000sq ft (2700 sq m) of outdoor space.
