Dolphin Cove: Visitors can have the opportunity to interact and swim with dolphins at Ocho Rios
Located on the north coast of Jamaica, Ocho Rios is one of Jamaica’s natural treasures. This charming city is picture perfect with world-class resorts, authentic traditional cuisines, shopping paradise and pleasant tropical climate. Once a fishing village, Ocho Rios is a perfect destination to relax and rejuvenate for all travellers.

Dunn's River Falls: One of Jamaica's most-treasured locations and a picturesque spot, Dunn's River Falls, offers a hint of adventure to those with a willing spirit. Climbing the waterfall from the foot of the beach and gradually moving up the thundering cascades is a thrilling trail. The exhilarating blast of ice-cold spring water is a sheer majesty of nature for the daring scaling the waterfalls.

Green Grotto Caves
Green Grotto Caves: A prominent natural attraction of Jamaica, Green Grotto Caves is known for its striking structure of caves. The caves offer a unique adventurous experience with the central feature being the large labyrinth limestone cave with its unique rock formation. With an abundance of overhead ceiling pockets, visitors can also spot nine species of bats in the caves, three of which are indigenous to Jamaica.  

Ride through the dense tropical forest at Mystic Mountain
Mystic Mountain: One of Ocho Rios’s biggest attractions, Mystic Mountain offers a unique vantage point to the city. Featuring a series of zip lines crisscrossing the forest in a superb canopy tour, as well as the signature ‘bobsled’ ride through the dense foliage, the mountains offers a perfect tropical forest adventure tour.

Dolphin Cove: Jamaica’s premier marine attraction, it has all the makings of a great family adventure; offering the excitement of interacting with not only bottle-nose dolphins, but stingrays, snakes, iguanas and a host of colourful tropical birds as well. The magnificent Ocho Rios property has a natural cove which is surrounded by 5 acres of lush tropical rain forest. Visitors have the opportunity to interact and swim with dolphins, enjoying the thrill and love of these amazing lovable animals.

Kayaking and river tubing 
Kayaking and River Tubing down the White River: Kayaking and River Tubing down the tranquil White River in Ocho Rios is another popular activity. Experienced tubing guides will take you on a breathtaking three mile journey down the river. Kayaking is yet another adventurous option for the visitors. Your river ride by kayak takes you along the White River starting at The Old Spanish Bridge, from where you paddle your way through cascading rapids and crystal clear pools under a canopy of lush tropical vegetation.

Shaw Park Gardens 
Shaw Park Gardens: Often called the “garden parish”, St Ann overflows with colourful tropical flowers and lush greenery. A walk through these gardens reveals sculpted grounds with exotic plants, cool tropical rain forests brimming with countless species of ferns, up-close views of gushing waterfalls and rivers, and encounters with fish, birds and butterflies. High on the hills overlooking Ocho Rios, Shaw Park Gardens offers a breathtaking view of the seaside town surveying the azure waters of the Caribbean Sea.
