The Jamaica Reggae Ride has been in operation since 2009 and is operated by the 36 year old company Holiday Services Ltd, a covid certified and licensed tour operator.
The ride is now part of an all-inclusive vacation package. This way cyclists can come with their families and spouses, go off their their morning ride whilst their families relax in the resort and the cyclist can rejoin them by lunchtime. Its the perfect combination.
The Reggae ride is based out of Montego Bay.

What is so very unique about our ride is the customized service and the fact that
NO ONE IS EVER ALONE ON THE ROAD BY THEMSELVES ! Ever!
No route guides because you are always escorted. THe ride caters to ALL pace levels!
Usually we have 1-2 groups and we have two different distance levels as well .
This is a concierge service tour with local experienced and pro cyclists participating as tour leaders, so they assist cyclists over challenging hills so everyone can achieve their goals., regardless of their pace level.
Our stops are well planned so as to ensure everyone experiences the real Jamaica: we will have a rest stop at a farmer's market, have a visit with local school children and you have the option to climb a cascading 600ft waterfall!
The Jamaican people are warm and genuinely friendly. You'll get to meet them up close and in their real world!
There is time in the afternoons to meet up with fellow cyclists, spouses and friends to explore the island's beaches, restaurants and attractions or to take in a massage or visit a spa.
