Blue Hole

Come experience a little thrill and adventure, getting to see breathtaking views, and doing optional jumps on the way down, through a Jamaican jungle! The river is refreshing, and the views are once in a lifetime, it is a experience you won't regret, or soon forget!

Laughing Waters

Charming waterfalls overlook a small but beautiful beach, offering some much-needed relief from the tropical heat.

Got a private boat to take us to the beach (laughing waters) where Ursula Andrews emerged from the sea

Shaw Park Gardens & Waterfalls

Beautiful, well-kept gardens just a short walk from the center of town.

Reviewed By H7557CXjamesk

Well worth the visit, beautiful gardens set in the hillside, we were shown around by our guide Richard, who was amazingly knowledgeable of the history of the gardens and all the plants and creatures in the surroundings, a fab place for any keen photographer with the views of Ocho and humming birds and fauna. At only $10 entry it's worth every penny.

Green Grotto Caves

Reviewed By JamaicanMonalisa - London, United Kingdom

I wanted my daughter to learn about historical events in Jamaica so I took her here to view the caves. Well preserved and the staff who did the tour was well informed and knowledgeable which made it rather interesting as he also asked questions which gave my daughter a chance to participate. My daughter is also into collecting rocks so taking her here was a bonus for her as she was able to see how the stalactites and stalagmites were formed over hundred of years. She also was able to gain some knowledge on how the slaves were able to navigate their way through the caves using natural surviving instincts. It’s definitely a place to visit if you’re into history and seeking new knowledge.

Turtle River Falls and Gardens

Reviewed By Vacation165611 - Philadelphia, United States

A tropical forest with 6-7 waterfalls, a feeding koy pond, and Aviary exhibit where parrots eat feed out of your hands. Really a cool experience and not crowded at all like Dunnes River Bc no one really knows about this place. Highly recommended

White River

Get up close and personal with the Chukka White River Valley location, offering stunning natural beauty and historic landmarks. The clarity of the water at White River Valley and the consistency of the river flow make it stand out above other locations on the island. The limestone bedrock filters the river’s water so it remains crystal clear even when there’s flooding. Located in St. Mary, Jamaica, this location is home to beautiful wildlife and an extensive history. With the exciting zipline adventure and thrilling river tubing journey this location is the perfect piece of paradise when paired with the Blue Hole experience!

We booked a tubing trip down the White River with Chukka Tours and had a wonderful time. I had been promising to go tubing with my wife back home but never did. This more than made up for it in her mind. The river only moves fast in a few places so it is a relaxing ride and beautiful to boot. Lots of plants and flowers along the way and the trip is mostly shaded from vegetation along the river. Our guide, Sheldon, was funny, helpful, and great. I would recommend this excursion.

Dunn's River Falls and Park

Reviewed By TracyJhb

We visited as part of an excursion booked through our ship MSC. Included in the excursion was Mystic mountain Rainforest Sky Explorer, a chair lift ride that soars 700 feet above the tree tops, transporting you high above Ocho Rios. Lovely views to the surrounding trees and bay below. Next up, you hop aboard Bobsled Jamaica, a bobsled that speeds you along stainless steel rails on a 1,000-meter, gravity-driven thrill ride through the forest. It is self controlled, so you can go as fast or slow as you like. Much fun! We were then transported the short distance to Dunns River Falls. It was very hot, and pretty crowded. However we were able to get lockers and a guide ( the process is not that self evident). Our guide, Mr Shaw, and chief photographer Curtis, made the experience so enjoyable and fun. The tips we paid them were so worthwhile... it would not have been as entertaining without them. Everyone links up in a human chain to begin ascending this beautiful travertine waterfall, which cascades in an amazing formation. I was fortunate to be right behind the guide, who guided us expertly up the 180ft high falls, directing my every step, so as not to misstep. The water is quick flowing and pretty strong, so water shoes are essential, and you will get very wet! Leave phones, cameras and extra clothes in a locker.They showed us all the fun spots for quick showers, bum slides etc, all with photo opportunities. This was one of our favorite excursions. Thanks to our fantastic guides! The dvd does provide great memories for afterwards.

The Enchanted Gardens, Bird Aviary, and Waterfall

Reviewed By 140nancy - Barrie, Canada

We had an excellent time at the park. In our favor there were very few other people there so we had a very good, leisurely walk up the falls and through the gardens. The visit was especially enjoyable due to the best tour guide ever - Jordan. He was very informative, humorous, and captured special moments with our camera that we would have missed. We had a pleasant tour of the falls - bring water shoes and be adventuresome! Do not hesitate to feed the birds - you will be pleasantly surprised! We highly recommend that you visit the gardens and falls.
