Unforgettable Ocho Rios Excursions

Join one of our Ocho Rios cruise excursions to explore this Caribbean port town located on Jamaica's beautiful north coast. Ocho Rios, which is Spanish for "Eight Rivers," was the first place where Christopher Columbus visited when traveling to the New World. Up until recently, Ocho Rios was primarily known as a fishing destination. However, thanks to its natural beauty and Caribbean island atmosphere, Ocho Rios has become one of the top sightseeing destinations in the whole Caribbean sea. Ocho Rios is also a short scenic drive to Nine Mile (home of the Bob Marley Museum), St. Ann's Bay, Fern Gully, Falmouth, and the resort hub Montego Bay.

We offer a wide variety of Ocho Rios, Jamaica, shore excursions to suit any traveler's activity level. Experience one of Jamaica's most popular attractions, the famous Dunn's River Falls, by way of a catamaran cruise. On your way there, you can enjoy some snorkeling to get you in the adventurous spirit. Once you arrive at the beautiful cascading waterfalls, you'll experience whitewater river rafting, kayaking, river tubing, and even horseback riding. For the more daring traveler, you can add to the excitement by climbing Dunn's River Falls and zip-lining over them.

Guided Tours for Nature Lovers

The Irie Blue Hole is another Ocho Rios popular attraction that you won't want to miss. This otherworldly attraction is a part swimming hole, part cascading waterfall, making it a peaceful half-day or full-day adventure. White River is another popular Ocho Rios destination that hosts river tubing and a unique river rafting experience aboard a bamboo raft. Bring your water shoes!

The Sky Explorer Chairlift offers a bird's eye view of Ocho Rios, making it the perfect opportunity to explore Jamaica's rainforest landscape. You can also hop on a bobsled ride to recreate the iconic 1988 Winter Olympic Games, which Jamaica competed in for the first time.
