Top Things to Do Near Riu Montego Bay: Why Ocean Outpost Is the #1 Adventure for Your Stay

If you’re enjoying sun and sea at Riu Montego Bay, there’s a world beyond the resort waiting just a short drive away — the one-of-a-kind seaside adventure hub: Chukka Ocean Outpost at Sandy Bay. This isn’t a typical excursion stop; it’s a full-scale island escape where you choose your vibe. From adrenaline rush to unwind-and-chill, all set against the Caribbean Sea.

What Makes Ocean Outpost Truly Unique

  • The Caribbean’s only zipline over and into the ocean. You’ll launch off from a 250-year-old Guango tree, zip across floating platforms above the waves, and finish with a splash in a hammock-led drop right into the sea. It’s not just a ride. It’s a memory.
  • One pass, all access — choose your adventure. Whether you want zipline thrills, coastal bamboo rafting, a sail/snorkel catamaran cruise, off-road ATV safari, or a relaxing infinity pool + swim-up bar, the “Ocean Outpost Pass” unlocks them all. Your day, your way.
  • Real Jamaica vibe: sea, nature, local culture. Ocean Outpost isn’t a theme park. It’s set among fishing villages, farmland, and coastal nature. Guides are local; the sea is real; the vibe is authentic. It’s where you meet Jamaica’s soul, not a tourist replica.

The blend of adventure + authenticity + flexibility makes Ocean Outpost a must-do for anyone staying at Riu who wants more than the resort experience.

Top Experiences You Shouldn’t Miss

Here are some standout adventures and chill-out moments that resonate especially well when you pair them with your resort stay:

  • Truck Safari — Go off the beaten path through rural Jamaica. Explore the countryside, spot historic ruins, and meet a local farmer. Immersive, scenic, and full of heart.
  • Horseback Ride ’n’ Swim — Ride along scenic coastal terrain and end with a swim in the Caribbean Sea on horseback. A rare blend of nature, serenity, and seaside magic.
  • ATV Coastal Safari — For those craving adrenaline and scenic exploration, the coastal terrain delivers. Every turn gives a different view, a new surprise.
  • Catamaran Party Cruise or Reef Snorkel Adventure — Sea lovers, this is your playground. Snorkel reefs or party on the Caribbean Sea — the coastline is your backdrop.
  • Chill Zones: Infinity Pool, Swim-up Bar, Oceanfront Gazebo & Swings — Not everything is about high energy. You can also opt for laid-back beach vibes, cocktails, hammocks, and ocean breezes. Perfect for couples, families, or anyone wanting balance.
