Rhodes Hall Plantation is an unparalleled location for horseback riding. The enormous 550 acre range covers every type of terrain imaginable, creating an unforgettable experience for beginners and advanced riders alike. You will enjoy the individual attention that smaller group sizes allow, as this creates a more personalized and pleasurable experience.

This former plantation is a place to get away from the crowd and offers a variety of things to do. Visitors may choose to take a horseback ride down the beach to Crocodile Lake where they can view the crocodiles as well as many species of birds. Also, visitors may scuba dive on a virtually untouched reef, or just relax with a game of dominoes.

Visitors who tire of the beach can head for the countryside to a small estate, Rhodes Hall Plantation, a short distance east of Negril. Here guided horseback excursions give a glimpse of the magic and mystery of the Jamaican countryside, and you don't have to be an experienced rider to participate. Guides give some basic horsemanship tips and then take tourists off through the foothills, pointing out botanical wonders and regaling riders with stories and legends about local landmarks. The tours include riding through forests of banana and coconut palms and along a beach to Crocodile River (which really has crocodiles in residence). The riding tours last from half an hour to two hours, and are inclusive in the round-trip transportation from any hotel in the Negril area.

The one-hour beach ride includes time on the beach and along the crocodile lake on a floating platform. A swim with the horses is included. The two-hour trek includes a beach ride and ride though the mountains and a bamboo grove. That tour also takes in a fish pond and features free pickup from the surrounding areas. Tours begin at 8:30 am, last tour departs at 2:30 pm. US$50 for one-hour ride, US$60 for two-hour ride. (5 mi/8 km north of Negril).
