Yaaman Adventure Park in Montego Bay

I completely enjoyed this experience and I think this is a must do whether visiting or living in Jamaica. The ATV experience is an adrenalin booster and the course though challenging is incredibly satisfying. The tractor ride was one of the highlights with our driver/tour guide Milton. Well be back .....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Daniel was a great tour guide, kept us organized, very good personality to keep the tourists intrigued while we ride towards the yaaman adventure park. Once there, he did great keeping us together and the rest of the crew kept us all together for a safe and fun experience 4 wheeling through the jungle. The food that ate after was good. Chicken was fantastic, the sides were meh...but i didnt go there for the food, so I wont dock points for it. Id definitely return.

I did the ATVs and the bird sanctuary at Yaaman. This was included with the package to Dunns Rivers Falls. I enjoyed myself. The food was good. The bathroom gave Third World country vibes. They have photographers on site to take pictures that you could download or receive printed out copies. I think it was about $180 per person for the day including transportation. The reservation was made at the concierge booth at the hotel. I’m almost sure the reservation had to be made 24 hours in advance

Went on the Time Traveler jitney tour. The tour guide/driver, Donavan, was a delight - Knowledgeable and funny. Tour offered interesting history tidbits and awesome views. Bumpy fun little ride. Time at the great house seemed rushed. The bird enclosure was cool - first time feeding birds. They provide the seeds and the birds perched and ate right out my hand.There was some waiting around at the start - checking in other guests and getting everyone situated but overall a I nice way to spend a couple hours.

If you like ATVriding, this is not for you and not worth the money as a skilled vacation ATV rider.  We specifically asked how long the ATV ride would be without safety instructions.   One rep said 45 to 55 the other said 55 to 60.  The ATV ride was less than 20minutes. And all that mud thats thats advertises non existent.  Then they hit you with the and additional $10 insurance  voucher and make you think there is a possibility. HOWEVER you dont go fast enough to hit anything and they slowe down during turns so you dont. You cant take your own pics.  And then want to charge $30 a rider for pics but no group pics. Imagine paying over over $130pp for 18mins of riding and it was a group of 7.  AND NO RUNNING WATER AND THEY SERVE FOOD.   We had to go find running water to wash our hands but there was a lot of ppl who didnt and when we mentioned it both times, no big deal.   if your a newbie this may work for you.

ATV - Ride time was only 25 mins. When tickets were purchased at Bahia Resorts they tell you 50mins-1hr.Insurance sold separately, when you get there.One mud puddle/hole, no splash. You ride slow (and I’m a girl 😝).Bathrooms had NO room Ning water.Long walk & hill to secret river!

Booked my rides days in advance and upon arrival I was advised that the bikes were not available. Mind you, again I booked days in advance. The girl ago tell mi seh the reservation agent should’ve informed me that it’s based upon availability. Where?! When I reserved it? Don’t waste your time reserving anything, a first come first serve dem deh pon.

They were all good to us - little man at the river was fun. We enjoyed it and everyone was very nice!

At first the visit was amazing. Our tour guide, Donovan who took us to the Secret River was hilarious and the journey there was a delight. He claimed he would pick us back up after 45 minutes at the River. Two hours later and there was no transportation. The group of us, hungry and soaked, waited an extra 20 minutes until Donovan came back. It was a quiet ride back to the restaurant where the food was not ready. Along with this the drinks were not included ($6 per drinkdespite the description of the trip including lunch (assuming drinks too). At this point, they wanted us to continue to the atv ride tour because they knew we were already behind and sunset was near. We voluntarily decided to go home early because we had enough. Despite this roller coaster of an excursion, they gave us a complimentary shot glass for the inconveniences. Would not recommend unless you and your family have a generous amount of patience, which my family does not.

After our call a week before my actual birthday to ask information to see what I can do and what I can’t do the Lady provide me with some information now I made a reservation for the Sunday the 14th after reach and it’s my birthday with my friends we leave from all the way from Montego Bay only to get disappointments on my birthday and I made a reservation with you guys a week when I reach I’m hearing different information you’ll need to fix that who’s giving out information to persons over the phone because that’s a big disappointment I end up have to go to dirt adventure which I enjoy myself thanks to you guys for your disappointment

My whole team from work went as a group withdraw anticipation for adventure. Thoroughly disappointed! We got the whole package, we could do anything- cooking tour, buggy, atv, zip, lunch, Avery, plantation tour, zip, river… after the official sign up that’s as it! No one excured our group into the activities outside of the atv. Cooking tour which was the best thing, started at 1pm inspite ofmit being scheduled for 9am to accommodate the3 groups we had. No one was there to be found. On top of that lunch was HORRIBLE! I had to eat the food prep water from the cooking tour and whatever chicken they had for lunch was inedible! They had the slowest snow cone and popcorn service.the buggy ride from the river was a ride to hell. Too fast and dangerous. Sigh!! To the tourism industry, customer service is key! If you do not invest in your workers Tourist and Jamaicans will deter from packages such as this!!! Regroup and get the training and pepper chefs to ensure your brand speaks volumes. I will give this company a few months and see what will happen. I am very passionate about tourism…. This cannot be what Jamaica represents. It will not be! Do some work and improving! What warned the 1 star is the exceptional beauty that exists… aside from that zero would be the rating. As I felt our monies went down the drain!

Good interaction with staff. The only issue was transitioning from one attraction/activity to the next. It took a little time.

Reservation was booked and paid for my family to enjoy the mud ride in ATVs. We drove over an hour from our hotel to experience this adventure. We were told that we were going to ride in 15 minutes. We waited over 90 minutes with many dishonest excuses for the long wait until they were forced to be honest. Truth was … there were not enough ATVs available because they overbooked and after ripping a hole in them, we got our money back and left. Greed, dishonesty, and inconsideration was what we received from that adventure.

Yaaman Adventure Park you owe my friends and I nothing. You were good to us. The CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCEPTIONAL. From the minute we got there Chandel at front desk ensured we were well informed, answered our questions, was extremely patient and polite. Then we had our tour organizer Niecey she was well informed, very organized and accommodate all our request and find a solution to our concerns. But special thanks to our tour guide Donovan. Donovan went all out to ensure we had the best time possible. He was funny, well informed about the history of the property and kept us laughing non stop. Shout outs to Shaquille our life guard at the Secret River and Mel who ensure we were fed and taken care off in the kitchen. Overall it was an amazing experience. The property is well maintained and again the Customer Service is excellent from every single staff we interact with.

The beginning of our day was horrible, there was a mixup with our reservation on the company end (not oursa service rep (Anneisiawas giving us a lot of attitude- “she was saying like there is nothing she can do period” rolling eyes etc. Like how can a customer be inconvenienced because it was an error on the company side. But after that A lady don’t remember her name came to assist us and from that it was a great day.Uptrain your staff on proper customer serviceI gave the 3 stars because of the rep who helps us. I would have given a 0 star if we didn’t get through on the weekend we went

Great excursion, with a tractor trailer ride, buggy and a trip down to the secret River. Bring a towel and use it on the tractor trailer ride as back support. Very informative ride around the plantation. The buggys/atv could of been better if there were different levels of tour, ours was pretty slow due to inexperienced party members. The river was nice and cool but if you wanna use the zipline you have to pay once you get to it and noone told use so we did not ring money to the river. You can still jump in and cool off. They also have a bird avery where you can feed the birds and a plate of food when you are done.

We came as a part of the cruise excursion from Harmony of the Seas and we had a blast with all the members of the tour.

25 minute buggy ride for $120 USD per person. The ride was less than 25 minutes which worked out to approximately $9.60 per person per minute of driving (the drivers switch at the midway point).Underwhelming course. Staff was rude and controlled the pace of the track in a way that made for a very pedestrian ride.Food was included as part of the experience. We were served a small portion of jerk chicken which was dry and cold, as it had been wrapped in food wrap and was sitting all morning.You are better off putting your money in another excursion. Avoid this adventure park if you are not a fan of being ripped off and treated rudely.

Dont book anything for Yaaman through TUI, youll end up very disappointed not being able to do what you were looking forward to. Staff are very friendly but cant fix mistakes or misselling by TUI. Wed have been better off staying at the resort today.

We had to wait for nearly an hour before we went on the dune buggies that was fun but only 45 mins on them , then we went on a tractor and trailer ride Donavan was great we were left too long at the secret river the lifeguards tried to get you to buy drinks at $10 no way was we paying that . We then we’re taken back to the main area where we were ment to have food and a drink this guy who had been peacocking most of the time we were there tried changing us $11 for a beer and the same for another drink up until then I had enjoyed my time there but he ruined it shame really I’m happy to tip if they deserve it ! Just be careful we’re ever you go shame there just after your money ☹️ But Donavan made my day had a great sense of humour shame about a few others .

Had a bomb time. Was treated with amazing hospitality. From the bus tour with Suzette and Edwin all the way to the bird sanctuary and the dune buggies tour!! It all was a great deal of fun. After our amazing adventure we were served rice, beans, Mac salad, and some chicken. Everything tasted great even the tropical juice. I would Def re-do this again!! The people overall were a good time by themselves. They were so energetic, I loved this!

Absolutely fantastic!! We did the mud buggy and the secret river. The mud buggys were the best Ive done so far, sample size is 2, but this one does not disappoint. The tractor pulled wagon ride to the secret river was on a whole different level... Saw more than one thing I didnt know tractors could do, and there will most likely be screaming... They might be screens of joy, they might be screams of terror. I loved it, stood the whole ride back. Lunch was free and provided and hit the spot perfectly. Would absolutely recommend, but its wild and not for everyone. People with disabilities be warned. And water shoes are required. I used my sneakers, theyll dry.

I enjoyed my day here, very good variety of activities to soothe family and friends need for.vacwtiin trip. Lush vegetable hill side land scape and beautiful water falls to add to nature appealing self.

Worst experience, very poor customer service. You can’t ask the tour guides questions, it’s like they’re annoyed or hate what they do. ATV tour lasted about 20 minutes NOT 45minutes. River was like a drop off and pick 10 minutes span. Life guards need training (along with the rest of the staff). Food was poorly cooked. Unable to get photos that I chose and was apart of my package as the dolphin memory app keep giving error “communication error” 100% would not recommend if I could leave 0 star I would.

For the amount of money we spent to ride….25ish minutes was not worth it. It was definitely fun, the birds were cool, but I think we waited longer than we actually got to ride.

10/10.The packages are well put together, each adventure is worth it all.Atvs/Dune buggies are the definition of offroad adventure. Mud and everything. The secret river is big vibes. Rich plantation history worth it all. Big up Donnovan for the Jimmy tour and Neil for the ATV tour.

Visited the park as a group and I must say it is very overrated. Let me start with the positives: 1. It was easy to locate and 2. the place was clean 3. The staff was friendly. Now to what was not so good: 1. The long wait to get handbands- the front desk wasnt as crowded and a rep attended to us in a timely manner but it took up to 30 minutes to get our handbands.2. After we got our handbands we had to wait for the tour guide to start us off, this took at least an hour. 3. The tour guide determined the flow of activity so we did the atv ride first. Despite us paying for the full package they told us we could not get a single buggy and as such some persons would have to share. After expressing that we were discontent they allowed us to get what we paid for. 4. The zip line did not meet expectation as it was a short line over the river that you could drop in, but it was really short , like less than a 1 minute short, more like a zip and splash kind of thing. 5. You cant carry food to the river or while doing the activities so expect to starve during the tour unless you decide to purchase from the snack bar. 6. The snack bar isnt cheap, one banana chips is like $350 JMD. 7. Lunch is included in our package but the park decides when you eat and that is at the end of your tour so if you are going please carry food as you can have food with you before you start the tour and while at the welcome area. 8. The food was horrible and there was no options, they served "jerk" chicken, rice and peas and literally 3 penny pastas. Can you imagine doing such a long tour to go to bad tasting food? Plus they didnt even allow you yo choose the part of the chicken that you fancied.All and all I wouldnt go back ,there are other great places in the country that offers the same experience for less or the same amount of money. Always read about them and wanted to go but wow it is so overrated.

Business is not done based on EMOTIONS!My experience was not good at all. Yaaman acts as though customers arent entitled to their opinion on the service they provide and cannot handle criticism. I was highly dissatisfied and stated same on their social media page and they blocked me.In my views, Locals arent treated the same as foreigners and that is very sad! Reservation for this park makes no sense. I made reservations weeks in advance and clearly stated that someone in my party doesnt eat meat and they started that x will be served. When it was time for lunch, we were advised that they only only have chicken and they were not made aware of same. I was given 10/11 am booking and I changed to 12:30 pm and this was not noted.After the muggy experience, there was no water. We had to wait awhile for the back up to come on for us to shower. I could go and on but it took me posting on their social media page to even be addressed any at all.

The children loved the mud buggying! Defo a must to do. Tractor ride down to the secret river was fantastic too.Only let down was the meal included, food was bland and not a reflection of the Caribbean cuisine.

Very disappointing!!!! I had high hopes for this excursion but it was a complete letdown. I purchased 2 packages for the mud buggy, jitney ride and secret river and only did the mud buggy because the river was too rough. They did not refund any portion of my money and gave me 1 t-shirt as compensation. Dispute the fact that there were two of us and we paid for two people. Very disorganized and would definitely not recommend!!

Disorganized operation here unfortunately. Waited for 2 hours after paying and still did not get to ride the buggy. They told us 3 pm and at 3:30 they were still organizing a large group who came in after us to ride. We understand that taking a large group makes more sense for the company but we had other things planned in our day to get done so we left. Also right before we left another large group came who rented 16, 4 wheelers but they didnt have enough to accommodate them after they already paid also. Nice looking place. Bad operations

We were looking forward to this excursion. The ATVs were in good condition, the guides were not overly controlling, there seemed to be decent trails, but our ride only lasted 25 minutes. They even boasted of 900 acres of land. We paid $99 for lunch and a 25 minute ride. I’d have to say of four excursions, our group liked this one the least, primarily due to the short duration.

I’ll start by saying that the actual riding of the mud buggies was a ton of fun and the guides were all really nice. The issue was that the ride was only about 30 minutes when it was advertised as a 2 hour experience. Super disappointing.

This attraction was above and beyond my expectations and I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND! The admin staff was quite receptive and accommodating and all the male tour guides were characters😂. The views of the estate were breathtaking, put PLEASE PEOPLE... DISCARD YOUR MASKS APPROPRIATELY!! Saw littered mask on the river tour, and that was the only negative note for me.

If you are an adventurous person then this is the place for you... honestly we were hesitant in staying on property as we had our 3 year old and thought there was nothing for him to do... haha! We were wrong. Firstly, all staff on board were amazing! Customer service at its best Im telling you. My baby got the opportunity to feed the birds at the bird avery in which he enjoyed doing... swimming at the secret river was also a blast for him... as for us adults we did the mud buggy which was superb... listen!!! after that we went to the river and because I came for an adventure I jumped off the rock into the 10ft deep water which was amazing... would definitely go back!!!

A little more organization is needed but otherwise great experience, and warm and friendly staff

I enjoyed the experienceThe food was disappointing but overall it was fun

I visited September 24,2021.Twelve of us including myself from work went to this attraction. As locals I realize that we are treated like were nobody. The only courtesy we received was from the guys who took us on the ATV and the young man who carried us to the river. I must however give special recommendations to Donavon the tour guide. I was both entertained and educated all at once and hes such a pleasant person. I cant say much about that guy in the photograph section who had us go through the pics and choose what we wanted, he was very rude from the very first hour we arrived. Yaaman adventure park has alot of potential but the staff needs to be thought what great customer service is whether visitors are local of international we should all be treated with the same great courtesy and respect.

1st off, this review is 8 months late. We visited in December 2019. My daughter and I had an INCREDIBLE time. I didnt male any reservations ahead so we were just walk ins for her birthday and they accommodated us very warmly. Funny enough it was very slow that day so we got the private VIP experience of having the resort to ourselves. We did all the attractions with the exception of riding the camels because they were already locked away because they had no more reservations🙄... Anyways, enough about my lack of preparation. I ended up tipping everyone we came in contact with because they were just that great. I recommend this place to EVERYONE I come across.One Love🖤💛💚

Stopped here as a shore excursion during a cruise back in February, right before COVID. We wanted to ride the camels. We also got to feed some birds, took a wagon tour, got some great local guide displays and info and tried some fresh coconut. Unfortunately our camel was a little uncooperative that day, so we didn’t get the full tour around their normal route, but we did get a nice ride anyway. And the camel trainer and handler was very friendly. The whole experience was pretty fun and a great way to spend part of the day. They also have a lot of other activities we didn’t try, but looked like a lot of fun. The only knock is the professional photo from our camel ride wasn’t the greatest quality, it was a bit oddly crunched and disproportionate, and was pretty expensive considering.

Activities were fun, but the tours need to be a bit more interactive and atmosphere could take some music for the added pump. Nice tour guides.

The Secret River was perfect. I loved it way more than the ATV ride I went there for. It was exactly what was needed-the water was cool, clean and refreshing. I was disappointed that the team at the ATV hub were not following covid protocols. They didnt wear masks and werent sanitizing the helmets and bikes as they should.. The buggy driver was kind and very friendly. He wore his mask for the entire ride and stopped to get mangoes for us on our way back from the river. I would have preferred more mud for the ATV ride though

Lots of fun! Theres something there for everyone to do. ATV and camel rides, a river to cool off in, a kid friendly aviary and a tour of the beautiful property. The food is good and the staff is friendly...ensure that you walk with some old clothes to ride/drive in!!!

We did zip line with 3 great guides. The climb up was a little tiring but the views are beautiful. Im 48 so it gets difficult to attach the line but the one guide had a trick where hed use his knee to give me a boost. Wish I could remember their names.Our tubing experience with Alan was also fun. He was a jokester and a singer and Jurassic park imitator. They sold drinks along the river but you could have brought your own.The mudding was with Orlando and they used john deer buggies. They were all about safety & using hand signals.They also included a jerk chicken lunch which was phenomenal and some punch, rum optional. The gift shop was not overpriced. Keep in mind $1 usd is equivalent to $120 Jamaican. We left our resort about 9am and were done by 1pm.

The side by side excursion was the best part! Sadly the UTVs kept dying so maybe get better with the maintenance, but it was so much fun. The jerk chicken cooking demo was delicious and the plantation tour was cool, though they didnt give any real history on the place nor explain what crops the plantation specialized in...maybe allspice? Still really great. Would definitely recommend.

The cooking class was amazing and a must do for any foodies and the ATV... beware of weight limits they wont tell you about during booking and will not refund any if you cant ride because of weight.... The tour of the property was Great the tour guide was Hilarious he made the whole trip better after the disappointment with the office staff. Overall a good experience, I would definitely go again but hand pick the activities to avoid drama and embarrassment... side note I was 262# at the time of travel. ProTip: Bring something to cover your face (bandanababy wipes a towel and an extra shirt if you do the ATV it gets real dirty and you will want to wipe off before heading back to your resort

The tour guide was amazing, the landscape was amazing and the animals were amazing. The tour guide really made the experience very enjoyable and worthwhile going. The food wasnt so great. There were limited choices and it tasted very bland. Plus flies were swarming around the food area and no one seemed to be monitoring it.The lady at the front desk, however was a complete turn-off. She almost made me cancel my family trip. I felt like I was a bother to her and not a paying-customer. Id ask a question and she would trail off and do something else without saying a word to me. She didnt give clear instructions and when I asked questions, she seemed annoyed and at times rude. She treated the tourists and groups with priority over the locals and it was quite obvious. She was not helpful at all and made the whole experience distasteful for me.Nonetheless, I was still polite and patient. I dont think Id want to go back to encounter her again and her lack of care. For such a promising place, its unfortunate that the first point of contact is such a turn-off. Serious work needs to be done there.

Excellence tour. Very memorable. Not at all boring. Tour guide is humorous and full of jokes. Camel trainers are great and knowledgeable as well.

The family had an awesome time. The tour was amazing, from the culinary at the great house to the camel and sedway rides. The tour guide was funny as well as very informative about the estate. The views were beautiful. However, the lunch was just okay and could have been better, and the prices of food items and storage locker were ridiculous.

If you wanna have fun dont take your kids cause not much kids activities there to do. PS The camel ride was cool
