About Ocho Rios

Ocho Rios is a lush resort town on Jamaica's north coast, known for its waterfalls, rivers, tropical gardens and turquoise bays.

Dunn's River Falls is the famous sight, a series of limestone cascades that visitors climb hand in hand from the beach up through the spray. Nearby, the Blue Hole, a chain of jungle pools and falls, offers rope swings and cliff jumps, and forested hills above the town carry zip lines and a chairlift through the canopy.
