Ocho rios excursions and tours, 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!

Mystic Mountain Rainforest Adventures provides a variety of Jamaican natural beauty sightseeing adventures. 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.

For nature lovers, we recommend our Konoko Falls and Garden excursion. If you dare to explore underground, check out our Green Grotto Caves excursion and learn more about their rich history. For a classic Caribbean adventure, our snorkeling excursions are sure to delight Jamaican travelers of all ages. We also offer dolphin swim and dolphin encounter excursions, as well as beach horseback riding opportunities for all the animal lovers out there

Bob Marley Nine Mile Tour

If you are looking for an Ocho Rios shore excursion beyond typical Jamaican sightseeing, we recommend the Bob Marley Reggae tour, which explores the life and times of Bob Marley, as well as reggae music's roots around Jamaica. This is a truly unique Jamaican cultural experience that you'll never forget.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica, is a gorgeous destination with a rich history. Whether you embark on a Caribbean cruise ship or choose a more adventurous route such as a zipline adventure, White River or Blue Hole excursion, our popular Ocho Rios tours are sure to satisfy any traveler. Don't forget to do some shopping at Island Village, a perfect combo of entertainment, retail stores, and restaurants. Try some delicious jerk chicken, or pick up a stingray souvenir all in one place!

Exploring Caribbean

The Top 10 Ocho Rios Excursions

Ocho Rios is the perfect destination for adventure seekers, what with its waterfalls, cliffs, and rainforests just waiting to be explored. There’s an abundance of things to do and places to go in and around the town. Tours that are more chill or that focus more on culture are also available if that’s more your style. From exhilarating, to entertaining, to educational, here’s a list of the 10 best Ocho Rios excursions.

Dunn’s River Catamaran Cruise

A cruise ship ride is a classic thing to do during any island vacation. The Dunn’s River Catamaran Cruise brings you up close and personal with the Caribbean Sea in and around Dunn’s River Falls. The cruise is luxurious without feeling stuffy at all — the crew members make great hosts and there’s a DJ aboard, too.

The cruise departs from Ocho Rios and makes a short stop along the way for snorkeling before reaching Dunn’s River Falls. You get the opportunity to climb the Falls and zipline back down the base. Drinks and cocktails are offered onboard during the return trip!

An alternative, family-friendly version of the cruise — Dunn’s River Catamaran Cruise for the Family — is also offered.

Horseback Ride and Swim

This excursion gives you the chance to be hands-on in your adventure. Led by a guide, make your way on horseback over the grassy countryside of northern Jamaica. The route includes two former sugar plantations, Llandovery and Richmond. As you pass through, you’ll learn a bit about Jamaica’s history. Afterward, you and your horse will make your way into the refreshingly cool Caribbean Sea and you can stop to take a dip for yourself.

jamaica excursions ocho rios

Horseback Ride and Swim is a half-day trip and it allows you ample time to get the hang of horse riding if you’ve never done it before.

Off-Road ATV Safari Guided Tour

This 2-hour tour lets you experience the natural charms of Ocho Rios in a unique way: atop an all-terrain vehicle. If you’ve never driven one before, don’t fret — you’ll be given safety equipment and instructions, and the tour features a guide.

jamaica excursions ocho rios

Making your way over dirt roads through the thick, emerald green foliage of rural Jamaica truly feels like being on an adventure. Like the Horseback Ride and Swim tour, this one also takes you through two historical estates, Llandovery and Richmond, giving you a glimpse into Jamaica’s colonial past. Stops along the way allow for you to take a swim and try cliff-jumping before making your way back to your hotel.

Bamboo River Rafting Experience

White River, just outside Ocho Rios, is a natural lazy river that is perfect for sailing on a clear morning. In the Bamboo River Rafting Experience, a guide will take you down the river on a rustic yet sturdy bamboo raft that can hold up to 13 passengers. 

The river is flanked on both sides by rainforest plant life, with birdsong being the soundtrack of the morning. The excursion is relatively short, just over an hour and a half, making it a great start for a day full of sightseeing. It’s also a great excursion for couples and small groups of people who would love to chill and take in the scenery.

Holiday Services — Dunn’s Falls, Bob Marley’s Nine Mile, and Optional Mystic Lagoon

For those trying to get the most out of a short vacation, a 3-in-1 excursion like this is a godsend. The trip begins by taking you from Ocho Rios through the mountains to Bob Marley’s hometown, Nine Mile. Here you’ll get a guided tour of his former home. The second stop is Dunn’s River Falls, where you can climb to the top and zipline down to the base! Lunch at a combination restaurant and lounge will help you catch your breath afterward.

The optional Mystic Lagoon add-on is popular, as you get the opportunity to see a rare natural phenomenon: a lagoon that glows blue thanks to microorganisms in the water. If you choose to get the add-on, the trip wraps up with dinner at a seaside restaurant.

Taste of Jamaica Food Tour

The Taste of Jamaica Food Tour is a short excursion perfect for foodies, people interested in Jamaican culture, or just those who want a chill day out. It takes you to three locations where you can experience authentic Jamaican food. First, you go through the mountains to the rainforest of Fern Gully, where you can sample tropical fruits at a local fruit stand.

Jamaica jerk chicken

After taking a bit of time to commune with locals at the nearby community of Breadnut Hill and stopping at a bar to get refreshments and drinks, you’ll make your way back to Ocho Rios. This is where you’ll end the day with a classic Jamaican lunch — jerk chicken or jerk pork served with rice and peas!

Dolphin Encounter Ocho Rios

What’s an island paradise without dolphins? Bottlenose dolphins are natural inhabitants of Jamaican waters and this excursion gives you the chance to swim and play with them, as well as hug and pet them! 

The experience is perfect for both adults and kids, and the experience can be tailored to match a range of temperaments. All of these activities are available in the regular pool, as well as a waist-deep one if you’re unable to or uncomfortable fully immersing yourself. After the approximately 30-minute experience is over, you can have lunch at the venue’s buffet. 

Lover’s Rock Catamaran Cruise

This approximately 2.5-hour excursion offers a much more romantic and lowkey alternative to the usual catamaran cruises in the area. Departing in time for you to see the gorgeous Jamaican sunset over the water, the Lover’s Rock Catamaran Cruise is bathed in golden, pink, and orange glows. Hors d’oeuvres and unlimited cocktails are offered and the DJ onboard spins smooth Caribbean melodies for the whole duration. When experienced with a special someone, the cruise will be sure to create a lifelong memory for you both.

jamaica excursions ocho rios

The Big 4: Sky, Bobsled, Raggamuffin, and Dunn’s River Falls

Mystic Mountain is a rainforest adventure park located right outside of Ocho Rios. By taking this excursion, you get to avoid the crowds as you experience three popular rides at the park and then move to Dunn’s River Falls for a climb! As you can expect, this tour is a great choice for thrill-seekers.

jamaica excursions ocho rios

The SkyExplorer glides up the mountain, taking you 700 feet above sea level. The Bobsled takes you back down through twists and turns. You control your ride so it’s up to you whether it’ll be a relaxing trip through the rainforest or an adrenaline-pumping race! Raggamuffin takes you back up once more, swinging you over cliffs. The last course of the day is to visit Dunn’s River Falls and climb the rushing waterfalls.

Luminous Lagoon Tour

One of the many natural phenomena in Jamaica is the Luminous Lagoon in Falmouth. It’s so-named for the glowing patches seen in the water at night. Take a tour bus from your Ocho Rios lodging to the lagoon, at which point you’ll board a small boat and sail out into the waters. During the boat ride, you get the chance to take a dip into the lagoon for yourself and be surrounded by the surreal, blue-green luminescence. 

The curious occurrence is caused by harmless microorganisms that glow as they move through the water. Seeing this with your own eyes is an experience you won’t want to miss out on — Luminous Lagoon is one of only four places in the world where this phenomenon occurs!

Ocho Rios, Jamaica Excursions

Spanish for "Eight Rivers"  Ocho Rios is a scenic and peaceful port located on the northern end of Jamaica. This Jamaican point of interest provides stunning views of the island's sandy white beaches and lush mountain forests along with tight-knit local communities.

If you're ready to enjoy some of the Caribbean's finest food, an incredible reggae music scene, beautiful seaside landscapes and the laid-back comfort of island life, then don't hesitate to take an Ocho Rios excursion during your Panama Canal cruise with Princess Cruises.

Dunn's River Falls

One of Jamaica's most beloved natural treasures, Dunn's River Falls is a stunning 600-foot waterfall located just outside of Ocho Rios. Even more amazing is that the Dunn's River is one of the only rivers that empties directly into the Caribbean Sea, making the waterfall an immensely popular destination for beach-goers visiting Jamaica.

You may also recognize the area around the Jamaican point of interest from the classic James Bond movie, Dr. No . The filmmakers were instantly drawn to the natural beauty of the region when searching for a Caribbean shooting destination. The waters around the falls were used in the movie's infamous scene of Bond girl Ursula Andress walking out of the sea.

Mystic Mountain

If you're interested in getting away from the shore to explore inland Jamaica, be sure to stop at Mystic Mountain . This 700-foot peak, located in the tropical forests surrounding Ocho Rios, is a tourist hotspot and features a range of family-friendly attractions and adventures.

Perhaps one of the most popular activities on Mystic Mountain is Rainforest Bobsled Jamaica, a 1,000 meter downhill ride on high-tech bobsleds that recall the historic Jamaican Olympic bobsled team. During an Ocho Rios excursion, you can also tear through the forest trees by zip-line, providing a bird's-eye view of the rainforest canopy while gliding between various treetop platforms. And if you're looking for an effortless way to tour the area, simply hop aboard the Sky Explorer chairlift ride.

Dolphin Encounter

Animal lovers who want a close-up hangout with some of Jamaica's friendliest sea creatures should experience Ocho Rios' Dolphin Encounter . Located at the shores of Dolphin Cove, this incredible opportunity will have you face-to-face with a bevy of cheerful bottlenose dolphins. You'll receive tips on dolphin-handling from an aquatic animal expert while also learning about training secrets and other fun facts about these ocean mammals. And if you're looking for a break from the bottlenoses for a second, you can feel free to check out Dolphin Cove's other exciting aquatic attractions and activities.

Ocho Rios excursions take you into the middle of a bubbly Caribbean destination with a variety of natural wonders, ocean-themed activities and Jamaican cultural staples for you and your whole family to enjoy! Learn about attractions like Dunn's River Fall, Dolphin Encounter, Mystic Mountain and other tropical destinations you'll encounter on a Panama Canal cruise from Princess Cruises.

These guys are the go to transport in Jamaica. No problems at all. On time courteous and affordable. Our driver was awesome. No need for guides.

We had an amazing experience through and through. Our two drivers were great all weekend and accommodated with everything we needed. Zero complaints and I would highly recommend Karandas to anyone I know that travels to Jamaica.

LaToya was great and extremely helpful. We love Dexter from the year before and wished we had him more but the others were lovely too.

Settle in for a panoramic drive in and around Ocho Rios, a once-small fishing village that has become a thriving resort town. Ironically, its name – which means eight rivers – came about after the British misinterpreted the Spanish name for the area in the mid-1600s. Although there aren’t eight rivers in Ocho Rios, there is plenty to see as you drive through town in air-conditioned comfort. Along the way, the guide will elaborate on the history of Ocho Rios, which dates to 1,000 BC, when a tribe of Arawak Indians known as the Taíno settled the area. Life changed dramatically after Christopher Columbus landed there in 1494 and claimed the entire island for Spain. One of the highlights of the drive will be traveling through Fern Gully, a spectacular 3-mile gorge lined with towering fern trees. The last stop will be Island Village, a collection of duty-free shops with merchandise ranging from exquisite jewelry to designer fashions.

HIGHLIGHTS • Enjoy a relaxing drive around Ocho Rios, taking in the sights and discovering its history. • Follow the road through Fern Gully, a natural wonderland with towering fern trees. • Spend time shopping at Island Village, a popular mall with a range of fine merchandise.

Race through the dense tree canopy surrounding Dunn’s River Falls on a series of ziplines and then head for the mall for a Jamaican lunch and shopping. You will ride seven ziplines of varying lengths and heights, each of them exhilarating in its own way. The path between many of the ziplines features hanging bridges that span the falls, which add a different sort of thrill as the bridges tend to sway. The bird’s-eye views from these elevated vantage points will be spectacular. Chances are, you will see other adventurers below climbing the multi-tiered waterfall, which cascades over a bed of limestone that’s two football fields long. The water eventually empties into the sea. Following the zipline experience, you will return to Ocho Rios for lunch at Island Village, a colorful shopping mall with a wide range of merchandise. Feel free to browse on your own after dining.

HIGHLIGHTS • Soar over Dunn’s River Falls on a series of ziplines and hanging bridges. • Marvel at the panoramic, bird’s-eye views as you race downhill on the ziplines. • Enjoy a delicious Jamaican lunch with time to shop at the Island Village mall.

When Christopher Columbus arrived in Jamaica in 1494, the Spanish settlers established a capital and called it New Seville in homage to the celebrated Spanish city of the same name. Your tour will take you through St. Ann’s Bay, a town juxtaposed with the spot where Jamaica’s first capital once stood. St. Ann’s Bay boasts a statue of Columbus which you’ll see during your drive through town. The drive along the coast will take you through Runaway Bay where some of the last Spanish settlers fled after the British captured the island. After a scenic drive passing seascapes and mountain ranges you’ll arrive at your destination, the Martha Brae River.

Your raft Captain will tell you the tale of Martha Brae, the magical Indian maiden whom the Spanish colonists tortured to reveal the location of a secret gold mine. She ultimately succumbed to her tormentors and led them to the mine. En route Martha summoned her magical powers to transform the river, drowning the Spanish soldiers and herself as well. Legend says that her ghost still guards the entrance to the mine to this day. Ponder the legend as you glide downstream this 90 minute tranquil river ride.

River Tubing Safari

In 1494, when the Spanish discovered Jamaica, they named the village Ocho Rios, after the wondrous 'eight rivers' they saw here. Today you’ll explore one of those rivers - the amazing, untouched White River. Take a step back in time when your adventure begins at the 17th-century landmark, Spanish Bridge. As you get ready to journey down the cool waters of the White River, which gained its name from the pristine clarity of its water, you’ll receive a safety briefing from your experienced guides who will also outfit you with your safety equipment. This 1.2 approx. mile ride down the river, not only gives you the rich history of Jamaica, but it also shows you the beauty of the land as you pass by coconut plantations, bamboo groves and along river banks filled with indigenous flora and fauna.

The real adventure lies in the White River as you enjoy her many moods, which will bring you to challenging rapids and enchanting lagoons. The breathtaking views and vistas of this tour, which takes you between two of the island’s most scenic parishes, can only be found on this River Tubing Safari. As you disembark, you’ll find yourself in one of Jamaica’s most beautiful valleys. The White River Valley is a garden paradise with over 100 species of flowers. The property’s facilities and buildings mirror the architecture of a traditional Jamaican village, so be sure to stop by Parrot Bar and refresh with a cool drink or just take in the sights of the real Jamaica. Photos, souvenirs and lunch are available for purchase.

Exclusive Discovery Beach Break

Spend hours relaxing however you please on the beach at Discovery Bay, a beautiful stretch of sand with plenty of amenities, including a floating water park.

After departing from the pier, you will enjoy a scenic drive along Jamaica’s lovely northern coast to Discovery Bay. When Christopher Columbus landed here in 1494, he called the town Puerto Seco or Dry Harbor because the natural harbor lacked fresh water nearby.

Although the area’s colonial-style architecture is a draw, Discovery Bay is known more for beautiful Puerto Seco Beach, which is rimmed by the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean. You will spend hours here enjoying the setting, as well as all sorts of other amenities.

You might stretch out on the sand, take an invigorating dip in the sea or in the freshwater swimming pool and stroll the horseshoe-shaped shoreline. Stands of palm trees line the beach, so there is also plenty of shade if you wish to get out of the sun.

If you are looking for activities, a floating water park is just offshore with slides, trampolines and a rock-climbing feature. You could also rent snorkeling equipment and see the tropical wonders that lie beneath the water’s surface.

When you are ready to dine, a hearty lunch will be served in the Santa Maria Restaurant. It is named for one of Columbus’ ships, and the park along one side of the bay is also named for the explorer, who is revered here.

5 Fantastic Excursions in Ocho Rios, Jamaica (and one's to avoid)

O cho Rios is the 2nd most visited destination in Jamaica, right after Montego Bay , and is surrounded by natural wonders worth exploring. Whether staying in one of the all-inclusive resorts or stopping by for the day on a cruise there are several fun excursions to consider.  

We just returned home from spending two weeks in Ocho Rios and during our time there we were able to experience many excursions. Here are our recommendations for the best excursions in Ocho Rios and the ones to avoid.  

Best Excursions in Ocho Rios, Jamaica

1. go on a catamaran cruise.

One of the best ways to enjoy your time in Ocho Rios is to take a catamaran cruise , offering the opportunity to see the island from a different perspective. You can enjoy sunbathing on the deck with a drink in hand, swim in the clear blue waters, or snorkel at one of the many reefs nearby. A catamaran cruise is a perfect way to relax and soak up the beauty of Jamaica.

In Ocho Rios, there are several options for catamaran tours, but our recommendation is one that will also take you to the base of Dunn River Falls for you to climb up. 

Best Catamaran Tour Options:

  • Ocho Rios Catamaran Snorkeling Cruise to Dunn’s River Falls
  • Jamaica Dunn’s River Falls Party Cruise with Snorkeling
  • Ocho Rios Sunset Catamaran Cruise with Dinner

2. Dunn’s River Falls

Dunn’s River Falls is one of Jamaica’s most popular tourist attractions for good reason. The falls are located in Ocho Rios making them very convenient to get to. With a height of 600 feet, Dunn’s River Falls is one of the tallest waterfalls in Jamaica. The falls are made up of a series of tiered cascades, which create a series of refreshing natural pools. 

You can enter without a guide or take a guided excursion which will assist your group in ascending the falls from the bottom, taking photos along the way. 

Whether you’re looking to cool off on a hot day or just enjoy the natural beauty of Jamaica, Dunn’s River Falls is definitely worth a visit. Do bring small bills for tips since your guides will be asking for them pretty aggressively and avoid the souvenir stands. 

Best Dunn’s River Tour Options:

  • Dunn’s River Falls plus beach in Ocho Rios

3. Zip Lines

Jamaica offers exhilarating ziplining experiences for those looking for an adrenaline rush. There are several zipline courses to choose from within the Ocho Rios area, each offering stunning views through the rainforest.  

The most convenient can be combined with your visit to Dunn River Falls . You can enjoy 4 different ziplines, including the steepest zipline I have ever been on. The real thrill is the longest zipline that has the Dunn River Falls rushing below. 

Best Zipline Tour Options:

  • Zip-Line, ATV, and Horseback Ride
  • Zipline and Dunns River Combo

4. The Blue Hole

The Blue Hole is one of Jamaica’s most popular tourist attractions and is located around 30 minutes from the resort area of Ocho Rios. Located in the center of the island, the Blue Hole is a large, deep pool that is surrounded by lush vegetation. 

After arriving at the Blue Hole and getting a life jacket, a short hike takes you to the Blue Hole. There is a platform about 12 feet above the pool for you to drop off of.  Following the stream down there is also a rope swing for guests and stairs to take you back to your transportation.

Best Blue Hole Tour Options:

  • Blue Hole Jamaica (Transportation Only Option)
  • Blue Hole And Konoko Falls Combo Tour
  • Dunn’s River Falls & Blue Hole Combo Tour from Ocho Rios

5. River Tubing

Visiting the Blue Hole only takes about 40 minutes so many people combine it with a trip to go river tubing . This is a short 10-minute drive from the Blue Hole. 

After arriving and getting life jackets you head to the river with clear and refreshing water. Floating down the river was relaxing with a few exciting areas with rushing water. The guides make sure we all stayed together and were entertained. We sang Bob Marley songs and they pointed out different vegetation as went. 

Best River Tubing Tour Options:

  • Zipline and River Tubing
  • Blue Hole and River Tubing

Excursions to Avoid in Ocho Rios

6. horseback ride & swim.

I love horseback riding, but in Jamaica, I wish I would have given this excursion a pass. First, it took too long to get to the actual horseback riding .  From the time we left our Sandals Resort till we were on the horse was about two hours, even though it was only 20 minutes away. The whole process was very unorganized. 

The actual horseback ride was fine, but nothing special. Things got strange as we entered the water with the horses. At first, it was really cool feeling the horse swim beneath us. Then things took a turn when the horses started pooping.  We were told to stay single file and to keep our legs in the water. When the horse in front of you pooped it would then float past your legs in the water.  Not my idea of a good excursion. 

7. Dolphin Encounter Ocho Rios

Swimming with dolphins sounds like an amazing experience, but I just feel conflicted about having dolphins in captivity for our enjoyment. Additionally, the staff is known to be very aggressive about asking for tips. 

8. ATV Rides

I have gone on several ATV rides in both the Caribbean and in the US and this was the worst.  There was a lot of waiting around and the ride was just boring with no high speeds or anything exciting. The guides were fun and maybe it would have been better with some mud, but I recommend doing this elsewhere and spending your time enjoying your resort instead. 

9. Luminous Lagoon Tour

One of the many natural phenomena in Jamaica is the Luminous Lagoon in Falmouth.

While this tour seems like fun, we heard from guests in Ocho Rios that it was not worth the time it takes to get to the lagoon. From Ocho Rios, it is over an hour of driving each way and the excursion is only around 30 minutes. The magical glow of the Luminous Lagoon only lasts a few minutes because once people start getting in the water it gets murky from the muddy bottom being kicked up. 

Tips For Enjoying Your Excursions in Ocho Rios

Bring small bills for tips.

The Jamaican people are very nice, but many of them are very aggressive when it comes to tipping. At some excursions the guides were amazing and we wanted to tip whether we were prompted to or not. On other excursions, we had guides that barely did anything and wanted a tip. 

One person drove us from one activity to the other which was about a 3-minute drive in a trailer and wanted to tip. So bring small bills so you can tip people but with the freedom to tip how much you would like. 

Limit Your Excursions 

We made the big mistake of going on an excursion that included 4 different activities in one day. They are very laid back and not concerned with time so we spent hours waiting around. The actual activities we did were probably a combined 90 minutes, but it took all day with long periods of waiting around between activities. We left our resort around 8 am and did not return until 4 pm. By the time we got back, we were exhausted as well.

We also do not recommend spending too many days going on excursions. Ocho Rios is known for its all-inclusive resorts so enjoy the time on the beach or snorkeling nearby. Do not feel the need to cram a bunch of excursions into your trip. I think one excursion every 2 or 3 days is plenty. 

Avoid Souvineer Stands

Some of the souvenir stands have very predatory sales tactics. For example, they will offer something small, saying it is a gift, and then ask for a “donation” refusing to take it back. Sometimes they will even carve your name on the item to make you feel even more obligated to buy.

The worst was at Dunn River Falls where you have to go through this area to get to the parking lot. We put our heads down and walked out quickly as vendors tried to get our attention while it took our fellow travelers about 10 minutes to get through the area.
