Nestled on Jamaica's sun-drenched northern coast, Ocho Rios captivates cruise visitors with its cascading waterfalls, emerald rainforests, and golden beaches. This vibrant port blends natural wonders with authentic Jamaican culture for an unforgettable Caribbean experience.
Ocho Rios, affectionately called 'Ochi' by locals, delivers the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation when your ship docks in this Jamaican paradise. The port's crown jewel is Dunn's River Falls, where you can join hands with fellow travelers to climb 600 feet of naturally terraced limestone or simply relax in the refreshing pools at the base.
Adventure Seekers will find their thrill at Mystic Mountain, where a chairlift carries you above the rainforest canopy before you zoom down on a Jamaican bobsled ride inspired by the famous Olympic team or soar through the trees on exhilarating ziplines.
Natural Wonders abound in the lush Fern Gully, a winding road through an old riverbed now home to over 500 species of ferns. For music enthusiasts, a pilgrimage to Bob Marley's birthplace in nearby Nine Mile offers cultural insight into Jamaica's most famous son.
Local Flavors burst from the craft markets where you can haggle for handmade souvenirs while the aroma of authentic jerk chicken wafts through the air. Before returning to your ship, sink your toes into the soft sands of Turtle Beach and sip a rum punch as the Caribbean Sea sparkles before you.
