With its lush tropical rainforests, pearly shores and cascading waterfalls, it’s no wonder Ocho Rios boomed from a small fishing village into Jamaica’s cruise ship capital. But don’t worry, the port maintains its laid-back vibe and sense of adventure. Cruise to Ocho Rios and climb to the top of the famous Dunn’s River Falls or go on an off-roading adventure in the jungle. Or go rafting on one of Ocho Rios’ famous rivers – there are 120 of them. Secluded and rich in natural beauty, it’s one of Jamaica’s true gems.
