There is plenty to see and do in the Jamaican port town of Ocho Rios, whether bathing and sun-worshipping on the magnificent beaches, or climbing up waterfalls, or horseback riding through sugar cane plantations. The surrounding countryside is lush and tropical, with fern-clad cliffs and breathtaking waterfalls, and a self-drive tour of the region to take in the scenery is well worthwhile.

ATTRACTIONS
Jamaica is of course the birthplace of reggae, and a short pilgrimage to pay rasta-respect at the final resting place of the legendary Bob Marley is a must for all music fans.

Some of the other highlights include one of the most beautiful spots on the island, Dunns River Falls, swimming with dolphins at Dolphin Cove, admiring the specter of the stalactites and stalagmites of Green Grotto Caves, a stroll through both history and botanical beauty at the Coyaba River Garden and Museum, paddling through lush tropical vegetation and bamboo groves on a Kayak Safari, take a mountain bike tour through the Blue Mountain, you could do a little natural fiber shopping at Hemp Heaven, and you could even have a martini, shaken not stirred, at the Moonraker Bar & Grill on James Bond Beach. Ocho Rios is truly a town dedicated to fun and sun, a crossroads of pleasure and leisure full of surprises and delights, in the centre of Jamaica’s vacation wonderland.
