Located in the community of York Street, Linstead is a lovely adventure park, Bush Trails. It’s a little bit off the beaten path and is a stone through from Bog walk. The journey gives a nice community experience, as kareemsquest.com saw a lot of trucks carrying sugar cane and eggs. 

The company made things easy for finding it by having signs at every major post. Also the Google map direction is quite accurate. Once you approach the Bush Trails property, there will be several feather banners outside,  however there is no noticeable sign on the entrance gate.

The attraction prides itself on providing an immense Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTV) ride. These are large and powerful vehicles that are commonly used to haul things in places that are hard for a traditional truck to navigate. 

Firstly, it is advised that you set an appointment, and try to reach about 10 minutes early. Once you have gone through the registration process there is a safety briefing and you are given a cool Bush Trails branded ski mask. 

Now the fun begins! 

The property spans over 20 acres and the excitement starts after driving down the initial pathway. This is followed by a Steep hill, that is layered with rocks and loose dirt, which pushes the UTV and tests the drivers capability, and KareemsQuest.com was up for this challenge.  

Throughout this journey, you are looking at the lush vegetation of rural Jamaica which is predominantly filled with mango trees. Next is a gully that is followed by another Hill. 

However, the biggest challenge along the trail is a s-turn, which is on an incline that requires the vehicle to move at a fast pace. Most persons end up doing the second turn as slowly as possible, which is very wise. 

After this there is a short stop for those who want to take photos. The Bush Trails’ team is very accommodating at this point, as they allow the drivers to be very creative poses and even alone customers to go on top of the vehicles, to take their shots.

It’s all about a splash

Then comes the biggest attraction on the tour which is the water area. This is where participants are taken through a series of water holes. It is impossible to avoid staying dry, as the water is splashing in from every area. 

It creates a great adrenaline rush, as there are at least three water pits to go through. When this is finished, persons park at an area and then cross a rope bridge to go to the dining space. This is where jerk chicken and fish is served. It also provides an opportunity for persons to cool down as it is the penultimate stop off the tour.

For those persons who are not big on driving these UTVs there is a comfortable lounge area where they can sit and relax and the good thing is, it provides shade from the sun. 

Being mindful that kids will also visit, there is a play area adjacent to the parking lot, that is equipped with multiple activities. For the teenagers who do not have a driver’s licence, but want to be a part of the adventure, there are smaller ATVs and a more manageable course that is available for them.

And of course when you are finished, you can go inside their office and purchase a cd with all your special moments. This includes both video and stills that were captured while you were on the trail. There are also high quality Bush Trails memorabilia on sale, such as shirts and hats. 

Bush Trails is a full concept and KareemsQuest.com believes that the owner has taken great pride in building something that is both reputable and fun.
