Rainforest Bobsled in Ocho Rios is a 100-acre nature park that offers a bird's eye view of the surrounding countryside. A high-elevation restaurant tower lets you dine and gawk at the same time. You can travel around in "bobsleds," a kind of personal roller coaster, or chair lifts. A third option, the Tranopy, combines both the above and a zip line course.
The attraction is designed as eco-friendly, with designers and builders making great efforts to reduce emissions.
