Bike Tours

Rusty's X-cellent Adventures, Hilton Avenue, P.O. Box 104, choreographs some of Jamaica's most hair-raising and best-conceived bike tours. The outfit was founded by Ohio-born Rusty Jones. Tours begin and end at his house, on a side road (Hilton Ave.) just west of Negril's lighthouse. He's the region's expert on the dozens of relatively dry-that is, not muddy- single-track goat and cow paths that provide aerobic exercise and drama for all levels of bike riders. Customized tours last between 3 and 4 hours, cost US$35 per person, and never include more than four riders at a time. Tours are primarily geared to "hard-core mountain bikers," even though there are ample opportunities for newcomers to the sport, as well. There's a running commentary on cultural and horticultural diversions en route. Bikes, helmets, water canteens, and accessories are included in the price as part of the experience; advance reservations are essential.

You can also rent a bike and explore at will, although you're not likely to find as dramatic scenery as you will on a guided tour.
