Blue Hole - After a picturesque drive east along the north coast, visitors arrive in Ocho Rios and head straight to the Cool Blue Hole and Secret Falls to meet their local guide. Nestled in a secluded corner of the Saint Ann mountains, away from the bustling towns, lies this pristine, untouched gem. The Cool Blue Hole oasis offers a stunning array of natural beauty and exhilarating fun. Enjoy the breathtaking, bright blue water in the natural mineral pool, surrounded by lush, tropical rainforest. Have a blast jumping off the edge into the deep pool, swinging on Tarzan ropes, or swimming under the caves. A 5-minute hike through the woods leads to the amazing Secret Falls. Visitors are in “awe” as they journey through the magnificent, lush green vegetation. Let the cascading waters embrace you while capturing memorable photos. Feel free to take plenty of photos on this tour. Photographers are available for a fee, but if you have a waterproof camera, feel free to bring it.

Greenwood Great House - The Greenwood Great House (Plantation home) was built in the early 18th Century. Like most other Great Houses in Jamaica, it was constructed at a high elevation. This was likely a strategy used during the plantation era for overseeing the plantation and for security purposes. Unlike the Rose Hall Great House, this house is not haunted and offers a more peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The history and architecture of the house are truly captivating. As you pass by, feel free to take photos when your tour guide slows down.

Discovery Bay - Discovery Bay is home to Columbus Park. Originally named Puerto Seco “Dry Harbour” by Christopher Columbus in 1494 when he and his men landed on the island, they initially couldn’t find fresh water to drink. They later discovered fresh water about 5 miles west of the town, naming the location Rio Bueno (“Good River”). However, Puerto Seco was renamed Discovery Bay in 1947 because it is where the Spanish, led by Christopher Columbus, landed when they arrived on the island on May 4, 1494. The park features several old relics and artifacts on display (currently closed for renovations). There will be a brief stop to take photos and capture the rich history of this historic town.
-
Runaway Bay - This tour takes visitors through one of the most popular towns on the island. Runaway Bay is naturally beautiful and is certainly one of the most scenic areas in Jamaica. It is situated between the stunning, clear coastline on one side and the lush green mountains on the other. There is much debate about how Runaway Bay got its name. Some believe it was named because it was where the last group of Spanish soldiers fled from when retreating from the British troops led by Governor Ysassi after the 1655 British invasion of Jamaica. Others argue it was the escape route used by slaves from inland plantations to flee to Cuba. Get your cameras ready as you explore this area.
-
Rose Hall Great House - The Rose Hall Great House is an early 18th-century plantation home located on a high elevation on thousands of acres in Rose Hall, Montego Bay. It was once owned by the infamous and notoriously cruel plantation owner, Annie Palmer, who owned hundreds of slaves. The house became haunted after her gruesome death in 1831. It is eerie to look at, even during the day. There is no stop at the Rose Hall Great House on the way to Negril, but your tour guide will share its history and slow down for photo opportunities.

Ocho Rios - Known as the heartbeat of the garden parish of St. Ann, the resort area of Ocho Rios is a paradise for nature lovers. Once thought to be watered by eight rivers (as its name suggests), Ocho Rios offers a lush landscape of caves, gardens, rivers, and white sand beaches. The name Ocho Rios actually derives from “Las Choreras,” meaning “waterfalls,” reflecting the many waterfalls in the area. From the Fern Gully, located in the remains of an old riverbed, to the tiered waterfalls of Dunn’s River, Blue Hole, and Secret Falls, Ocho Rios is home to some of Jamaica’s most popular attractions, drawing thousands of visitors to this romantic, picturesque resort area.
Ocho Rios is a charming “Colonial Styled Town” with a population of approximately 25,000. Known as “The Centerpiece of Jamaica,” Ocho Rios offers a range of activities from golf to watersports, equestrian, and soft adventure activities. It is approximately equidistant between the island’s two cities – Kingston and Montego Bay, providing excellent access from both international airports. The birthplace of Bob Marley and Marcus Garvey, Ocho Rios offers a variety of cultural experiences – Marley’s mausoleum at Nine Miles, Reggae Xplosion, and Seville Heritage Park all help to chronicle Jamaica’s history in story and song.
There will be a short stop in the town center (approximately 1 hour) for shopping.
-
Main Street - Shopping in Ocho Rios during this day trip will be at the Ocho Rios Craft Market or a similar location. A wide variety of items are available in this area, including rums, coffee, T-shirts, hats, jewelry, wood carving products, and arts. It is advisable to carry small bills on tours, as not all places accept credit cards, and vendors might not have change in USD, resulting in receiving a lot of Jamaican dollars as change.
-
Scotchies Drax Hall - Scotchies Outdoor Garden Restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best spots for jerk chicken and pork. It is recommended to conclude the day’s activities with a stop for the ultimate jerk experience at Scotchies. The food is prepared with the whole family in mind, so even children can enjoy the delicious experience of tender, juicy pork and succulent chicken with festival. Steamed vegetables are also available for non-meat eaters. Don’t forget to try the homemade Scotchies specialty hot sauce made from locally sun-ripened Scotch Bonnet Pepper.
