Looking to add a little more adventure to Jamaica weddings?  I recently returned from an unusual Jamaica familiarization trip where not only did we visit numerous hotels, but we also experienced two new attractions - Mystic Mountain and Chukka Cove.  Both attractions are considered "soft" adventure - ha!  I guess that my definition of soft adventure, a walk along the beach and maybe even horseback riding, is different from the definition in Jamaica.  Here, bobsledding, zip lining, ATVs, etc. are the norm.  

First, we went off to Mystic Mountain where a sky lift takes you 700 feet up the mountain.  The views from the top are spectacular!  It is here that the real adventure begins!  The choice is bobsledding or zip lining.  Being a bit of a coward, the bobsled look sort of tame.  So, I climbed in and found myself flying along the track at what felt like 150 miles per hour.  I am told that I was only going 25 miles per hour, but I am not sure that I believe that! 

Having survived the bobsled, my newly found adventurous spirit decided to try the zip lines.  I was sailing along quite nicely zipping from tree to tree until I came to the third zip line.  Looking out, I could not see it, so my gaze was directed straight down!  My first thought was "what are my other choices?"  Unfortunately, no choice but to take the line straight down! 

Having survived that, I felt invincible, as though I could now do anything.   So, when we were taken to Chukka Cove, I had no fear!  The choice of activities were numerous: ATV, dune buggies, dog sled, horseback riding, beach and of course, zip lining.  Now that I was an old hand at it, I decided to do the zip lines again.  However, this time we took a bus up to the top of the mountain.  Surviving the bus ride up the mountain was truly an adventure in itself!  We drove along a VERY narrow, gravel road twisting and turning along the edge of the mountain.  The site of many rusted out cars and vans that had obviously gone off the road added to the anxiety.  By the time we suited up and began the run on the zip lines, I knew that nothing could be as frightening as the bus ride up the mountain.   

All in all, I definitely recommend these two attractions to anyone that visits Jamaica, and they would be perfect for an adventure getaway with your Jamaica wedding guests before or after the big day.
