Snow? Who needs snow? Dog sledding in Jamaica isn’t as far-fetched as it seems.

Dog sledding usually conjures up images of frostbite and snow-covered huskies, but here in Jamaica, it’s a whole different story.

Learn about the intrepid soul who founded Jamaica’s improbable dogsled team and be briefed on the art of mushing.

Meet the loyal and affectionate dogs that make up the team and help harness them up for the ride.

Running as one, these dogs take you flying across the green fields of Jamaica.

Pause for an intermission at Papillion Cove, where you can cool down with a refreshment and explore some hidden caves.

Take a short walk to the official home of the Jamaica Dogsled Team, where you will “broth” the dogs learn the art of “mushing.”

Pet, hug and cuddle these magnificent dogs and learn about their life stories. Assist your guide with harnessing the dogs for your two-mile tour around Chukka Cove Farm.

Feel a tropical breeze at your back as this team of trusty canines pulls you through the Jamaican countryside.

Make a brief stop at Papillon Cove , where Steve McQueen did his famous cliff dive in the 1973 movie of same name. Sip on cool refreshments and explore some hidden caves.
