Jamwest Push Kart Adventure in Negril — Half‑Mile Forest Sled Ride

The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed-toe shoes
The push kart platform and access trails are uneven; closed-toe shoes protect toes and provide better control.
Secure loose items
Use pockets or a small pack — phones and sunglasses can fly off during faster sections.
Check pickup window
Shuttle pickup is scheduled 30–90 minutes before your tour; confirm your pickup point to avoid missed departures.
Hydrate and sun-protect
Jamaica’s sun and humidity can drain energy fast—drink water and apply reef-safe sunscreen before the run.
