Ocho Rios, with its duty-free shopping, white-sand beaches, cascading waterfalls, and jungle-covered mountains, embodies the essence of a true Jamaican town. Once a quiet fishing village, it has blossomed into a lively destination featuring charming villas, laid-back hotels, and sprawling resorts. The town's nameis derived from the Spanish word ‘chorreras’, meaning waterfalls, a reference to the streams that cascade down the limestone cliffs along its eastern coastline.

On this experience, you will explore the natural beauty of Ocho Rios, beginning with a visit to the serene Konoko River Garden. Take a wander through lush landscapes filled with exotic plants beneath the shade of towering cedars and banyan trees. The garden also features a quaint museum housed in a Spanish-style building, complete with a stone courtyard and fountain, all surrounded by verdant tropical flora and a rushing mountain stream.

Next, you will head to the iconic Dunn’s River Falls, one of Jamaica's most famous natural wonders. The falls cascade dramatically from a height of around 182m (600ft) into crystal-clear pools below. You can experience the excitement of climbing the falls with the help of a skilled guide, or simply admire the scene from the observation decks. Lush tropical foliage, including ferns, bamboo, ginger lilies, crotons, orchids, and various palms, create a picturesque backdrop for this unforgettable adventure.

You will then rejoin your bus for the short transfer back to the pier.
