Ocho Rios Attractions
Fern GullyOne of Jamaica’s natural wonders. A scenic three-mile uphill tour that winds through a rocky gorge, the gully has about 500 varieties of ferns overhung by tall trumpet and mahoe trees that meet overhead filtering the sunlight to create a cool rain forest condition in a tinged tunnel. This moist sheltered environment is ideal for ferns and has sub tropical Rain Forest conditions. Street vendors along the road sell carvings and T-shirts for souvenir lovers. At the top of the gully you drive into the local community of Colegate then through the community of Breadnut Hill with spectacular views of Ocho Rios and the coastline. Dunn’s River FallsWithout a doubt the most popular attraction in Ocho Rios and one of Jamaica’s natural treasures. A 15 minutes drive from town, Dunns River Falls is internationally known as a living-growing phenomenon consisting of 600 feet cascading waterfall with several natural pools surrounded by dense forestry. At the bottom of the Falls is one of our best beaches where you can engage in water sports, or just bask in the sun while enjoying the scenery. There are restaurants, a craft market and restrooms conveniently located in beautiful surroundings. Climbing the fall is a wet but easily navigable ascent from its starting point on the beach and is quite exhilarating as you’re showered with cool clear water all the way to the top (approximately 45 minutes). It’s best to use a guide as he knows the safest spots will take care of your pictures and will help you enjoy the experience. We suggest tennis or aqua shoes for safety as well as comfort. At the end of the climb, you’ll exit through the Craft Market where local vendors will help you find that special souvenir. Not interested in climbing? How about a picnic in the park or on the beach? Maybe you’d like to have your hair braided…hair braiding shacks are located in the park. Hungry? Have a taste of our spicy Jamaican Jerked Chicken, Pork or Fish from the restaurants or savor the taste of your favorite Baskin & Robbins Ice cream. Shaw Park Gardens
Konoko Falls, Taino Museum & River GardensThis is a beautiful, meditative river garden with well watered flowerbeds bisected by streams teeming with mullet, crayfish, turtles and koicarp. Stroll leisurely and enjoy the beauty while feeding the fish or take a guided tour. Wooden walkways allow you to view the flowers in all their beauty…anthuriums, heliconias, pink ginger lilies and rampant vines. Reflect on our history with a stroll through the Arawak Indian museum and see exhibits and artefacts spanning a part of Jamaica’s history. Visit the on site gift shop for craft and jewellery.
