Jamaica continues to receive recognition for its appealing tourist attractions, and most recently Chukka Caribbean Adventures’ Jamaica Dogsled Experience was voted the “Best Caribbean Shore Excursion” in Porthole Cruise Magazine’s Editor-In-Chief Awards. The annual Editor-In-Chief Awards, which honor the best in the travel industry, were announced in the magazine’s January/February 2010 issue. Porthole Cruise Magazine is one of the leading U.S. consumer cruise magazines.

“It is a great honor for Jamaica to be home to the best shore excursion in the Caribbean,” remarked Jamaica’s Director of Tourism John Lynch. “Jamaica has over 150 attractions, more than any other Caribbean island, many of which are new or have been improved to provide visitors with a diverse offering. We look forward to continuing our relationships with attractions partners, such as Chukka Caribbean Adventures, that create memorable experiences for travelers.”

“I’ve experienced a lot of excursions in many cruise destinations, and the Dogsled Experience in Jamaica is by far one of the most memorable,” said Bill Panoff, Publisher and Editor-In-Chief of Porthole Cruise Magazine. “I congratulate Chukka Caribbean Adventures for continuing to offer unique and innovative shore experiences for cruisers.”

Visitors to Jamaica can try out a dog sled ride by visiting Chukka Caribbean Adventures’ Jamaica Dogsled Experience in Ocho Rios. Once onboard the sled, experienced mushers will guide guests through the scenic Jamaican countryside. Riders will learn the history and art of mushing and assist with harnessing the loveable dog team.

With locations in Negril, Montego Bay and Ocho Rios, Chukka Caribbean Adventures also offers Zipline Canopy Tours, River Tubing Safari, River Kayak, Horseback Riding and many other thrilling adventure tours.
