🏞️ Dunn’s River Falls (30 mins)
One of Jamaica’s most famous natural landmarks. Climb the terraced waterfall, dip in the freshwater pools, or simply take in the scenery. Great for couples, families, and first-time visitors.
Tip: Bring water shoes and go early to beat the crowds.
🌊 Blue Hole & Secret Falls (45 mins)
A lush jungle oasis with bright turquoise pools, rope swings, and cascades. More off-the-beaten-path than Dunn’s, but equally stunning. Guided tours available.
Tip: Wear your swimsuit — you’ll want to jump in!
🛶 Rio Nuevo River & Heritage Site (55 mins)
Perfect for a gentle river float, kayaking, or a quick cultural stop. Rich with local history, this area was also the site of a famous 1658 battle.
Tip: Ask about guided river experiences with local hosts.
🕳️ Green Grotto Caves (7 mins)
Explore this fascinating limestone cave system full of stalactites, underground lakes, and centuries of history — from pirates to smugglers to freedom fighters.
Tip: Guided tours available daily. Great for curious kids, too.
🌴 Fern Gully Scenic Drive (35 mins)
Take a slow drive through this cool, shaded gorge where ferns grow tall on both sides. A peaceful, atmospheric experience — ideal for a mid-morning outing.
Tip: Combine it with a stop in Ocho Rios town or a local fruit stand.
