Dunns River Falls Tours
Encompassing 180 meters of gently terraced waterfalls, Dunn's River Falls is one of the top attractions in Ocho Rios. These picturesque falls tumble over rocks and limestone ledges into the sea. You can climb the natural tiers to the top of the falls with the aid of a guide and cool off in the refreshing pools at the base. It's a good idea to wear water shoes and clothing that you don't mind getting wet. Also, try to plan your visit around the cruise ship crowds - this is one of Jamaica's most famous waterfalls, and it's a popular place to visit for tourists. For a fun full-day outing, try the Dunn's River Falls and Bob Marley's Nine Mile tour. This tour stops by the village of Nine Mile, birthplace of Bob Marley, and then heads over to the Dunn's River Falls for a guided hike up to the falls and a slide or swim in the natural pools.
Cool blue hole
High in the rain-forest-cloaked mountains outside Ocho Rios, the Blue Hole is a series of picturesque waterholes fed by gushing cascades. It's also called Island Gully Falls or the Irie Blue Hole. Guides lead you around the area, where you can explore the falls and jump off cliffs into the refreshing pools below. The higher up the falls you climb, the less people you will probably encounter, but negotiating the trail can be tricky. The adventure involves clambering over slippery rocks, so appropriate water shoes are recommended. Visiting these beautiful falls is one of the most popular things to do in Ocho Rios.
Rose Hall Great House
Built in 1770, Rose Hall is a restored plantation house with beautiful ocean views. Legendary Annie Palmer (the White Witch) ruled here with cruelty, and met a violent death. Today, her home is adorned with period furniture. You can choose a day tour, but if you're a fan of ghost stories, opt for the spooky evening tour by candlelight. Guides dressed in character share plenty of spine-chilling tales of ghost sightings, and they'll definitely keep you on your toes. Who knows, you might even see the White Witch herself!
Martha Brae Rafting Village
Rafting the Martha Brae is one of the most popular things to do in Jamaica - especially for couples. At Martha Brae Rafter's Village, you can glide down a picturesque stretch of the river on bamboo rafts poled by local guides. This relaxing trip is a great way to soak up some of the tropical scenery, and you can even stop at local vendors along the way to purchase souvenirs or refreshments. Best of all, some of the guides will entertain you during the trip, singing reggae songs or sharing interesting information about the flora and fauna. This is a popular day trip from Montego Bay (about 37 kilometers away) and Ocho Rios (abut 70 kilometers away). You can also do this from Negril, but it takes about two hours one way to reach the Martha Brae Rafting Village, where the tours launch.
Bob Marley Museum
The Bob Marley Tour will take you to Nine Mile, a quaint little village in the beautiful mountains of St Ann, Jamaica where each year thousands upon thousands of Bob Marley fans make their pilgrimage to pay their respects and to experience the birth place and final resting place of the King Of Reggae. Bob Marley Reggae adventure begins directly from your hotel. From Ocho Rios, Nine Mile is a 1 1/2 hour drive through the countryside and is a journey introducing you to a part of Jamaica that few visitors have the opportunity to appreciate. Our breathtaking drive to the Graceland of Reggae begins with a tour through the famous Fern Gully where we wind our way uphill through some of the most beautiful scenery in Ocho Rios. The ride continues into the Jamaican country side as we enjoy the sounds of Bob Marley and take in the rural villages of Jamaica’s hillside . At Nine Mile you'lll experience the neighborhood and home that influenced Bob Marley to write some of his most famous songs
