Booking choice: The Rastasafari ATV day, from $165 per person. Check dates Tour details
You can ride an ATV as one activity in a park pass, on a dedicated countryside tour, or as part of a combo with rafting, horses or a waterfall. All of them pick you up at your hotel; all of them want to see a driver's licence.
The quick answer
For the best dedicated ATV day, pick Rastasafari (4.9 from 2,051 reviews, lunch and a swim included) or the small-group Trelawny safari (adults only, ten riders at most). Choose the Chukka pass if you want an ATV plus a zipline, horses and a catamaran. Drivers must be 16 or older with a valid licence.

Check dates for the Rastasafari ATV dayDo you need a driver's licence to ride an ATV in Jamaica?
To drive, yes: Chukka, Rastasafari and the Dunn's River combo all require a valid driver's licence, and Chukka sets the minimum driving age at 16.
Bring the physical licence, not a photo of it, and skip alcohol before you ride; Chukka does not let anyone who has been drinking drive. Damage caused by driver error can be charged to you under the waiver.
What is the Rastasafari ATV tour like?
A long, scenic countryside ride near Roaring River with a swim in a natural mineral pool, fruit from the trees and a fresh-cooked lunch at the base.
The day starts with coffee roasting and a fresh juice. Guests love the guides and the food (often a vegan dish they did not expect to enjoy). The itinerary includes a visit to a ganja field. The catch is distance: it is about 75 minutes each way, so plan on most of a day.
Which ATV tour is best for a small group?
The Trelawny small-group safari: groups are capped at ten, it is adults only (16 and over), and it rates 4.9 from 249 reviews.
Guests describe limestone hills, spring-fed ponds and banana groves, a riverside stop, and a route that passes Usain Bolt's primary school and family home in Trelawny.
Prefer a quieter trail? This safari keeps groups to ten adults.
Explore the small-group ATV safari Tour detailsIs the ATV at Chukka worth it on its own?
Only as part of the pass: at Chukka the ATV or dune buggy safari is one of several activities, and one guest found it a little disappointing next to the rest of the day.
If the ATV is the main event, a dedicated tour gives you more time on the trail. If you want variety, the pass adds the zipline, horses and catamaran. See the Chukka pass guide.
Want the ATV plus a zipline and a catamaran? The Chukka pass bundles them.
Check dates for the Chukka zipline and ATV passHow long is the drive from Montego Bay?
Roughly 40 to 60 minutes to Chukka at Sandy Bay and about 75 minutes to Roaring River; the St Ann and Ocho Rios combos start with pickups as early as 6 AM.
Ask for your pickup time when you book, and treat the drive as part of the tour: guests often mention drivers sharing history and local stories on the way. One combo guest wished they had known how much time would be spent in transport.
What should you wear on an ATV tour?
Closed-toe shoes, a full T-shirt and shorts or active pants that can get muddy, plus a swimsuit underneath if the tour includes a swim.
Bring sunglasses or a buff against the dust, sunscreen and a change of clothes. Our packing guide has the full list.
Can children come on an ATV tour?
Children cannot drive: Chukka, Rastasafari, the small-group safari and the Dunn's River combo all set the driving age at 16, and the last two are 16 and over only.
Rastasafari takes children 5 to 15 at half price, but only when they share with two paying adults, and they ride with an adult at the wheel. For families, see Montego Bay adventures with kids.
Riding as a family? Rastasafari's child rate applies with two paying adults.
