A Look at the Private Customized Parasailing and Jungle ATV Tour in Montego Bay
When we think of Jamaica, vibrant colors, lively music, and stunning coastlines quickly come to mind. This private tour offers a perfect blend of those iconic sights with an added adventure twist. For around $150.55 per person, you get approximately 3.5 hours of personalized fun — combining parasailing over the ocean with a jungle ATV ride in Mount Zion, a local community in St. James Parish.
What immediately stands out is the tour’s customized nature — it’s private, meaning only your group participates, and the transportation is included, making logistics quite smooth. Two things we love most? First, the stunning aerial views during parasailing, which let you see the sprawling coastline, Montego Bay, and beyond from a perspective only birds enjoy. Second, the local community visit adds an authentic flavor, giving a glimpse into Jamaican life beyond the usual tourist spots.
A possible consideration is that this is a full-day activity if you include the transport time, and the weather can impact the experience — especially the parasailing, which requires good conditions. But if you’re flexible and booked in advance, you’ll likely get the most out of this adventure.
This tour suits travelers who value personalized experiences, love adventure activities, and want a balanced mix of scenic views and local culture. It’s ideal for those who enjoy active outings but also want the comfort of private transportation and the opportunity to customize their day.
