About Us
Welcome to Ocho Rios!
“Ochie” as it is affectionately called is located in the garden parish of St. Ann. It is the second largest resort town and the most popular cruise port on the island. Ocho Rios – translated “eight rivers”, is a corruption of the Spanish name “chorreros or “chireiras” referring to the gushing waters of local waterfalls such as the world famous Ocho Rios tour of Dunns River Falls as well as Eden Falls at the Ruins.
The town was not more than a fishing harbour until early 1900 when interest in tourism began to shape the landscape and transformed Ocho Rios into the beautiful resort town it is today with beautiful beaches, all-inclusive resorts, villas, dutyfree and craft shopping, fishing beach where you can enjoy seafood dishes (island style) as well as various watersports activities, attractions and sightseeing tours. How about a visit to Bob Marley’s birthplace? Why not highlight your tour of Ocho Rios with a visit to a river garden museum featuring artefacts from the Taino Indian period of our history? Swim with the dolphins….there is something for everyone so come travel with us across the island and let us share the warmth and beauty of our island home.”
