Discover Ocho Rios: Excursions

Discover Jamaica's most iconic waterfalls

Ocho Rios is home to one of Jamaica’s most beloved destinations — Dunn’s River Falls, a 180-foot cascade that descends from the mountain tops into a series of terraces and lagoon pools. Explore the vibrant, tropical jungle on horseback, or float down the river for unspoiled views of the jungle, forest, and sea birds.

Of course, you should spend some time on the white sand beach. Soak in the famous Jamaican sunshine and listen to the turquoise waters lapping at the shore until the sun disappears into the sea. There are a lot of tours and activities in Ocho Rios perfect for everyone!

If you get hungry, try the authentic Jamaican jerk chicken, or have a plate of fresh shrimp, fish, lobster, or crab. Looking for some vegan or vegetarian food? Jamaica has you covered with Rastafarian cuisine that caters to those with a meatless lifestyle. Welcome to Jamaica!
