Many cyclists want to get away and ride but then...what happens to the children? the non cycling spouse? the answer is JAMAICA VIBZ ride. This ride is the perferct combination of a resort vacation with morning rides that leave the entire afternoon free to share with family and explore or relax in the hotel.
The All Inclusive Jamaica Vibz ride 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 Jamaica Vibz Ride is based out of OCHO RIOS.
Families are welcomed. We have special plans for non cyclists and cycling lessons too
for the children and adults who might want to learn to ride or to be a better cyclist!
What is so very unique about ALL our rides is the fact that NO ONE IS EVER ALONE ON THE ROAD BY THEMSELVES ! Ever! the customary printed " route guides" are not needed here because you are always escorted. THe ride caters to ALL pace levels! Usually we have 1-2 groups, each with its own sag. We are also offering training after the ride in the afternoons so that Dad can return and go with his spouse or his child and they can all participate together. Or of course, non cyclists can also just relax in the resort.
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.
So come on, let's ride!
Let us show you why Jamaica is truly the "heartbeat" of the Caribbean
