Ocho Rios

Ocho Rios

Located on Jamaica's North Coast in the Parish of St. Ann, Ocho Rios offers breathtaking sights and exhilarating adventures for visitors of all ages. In the last twenty years, "Ochee", as it is known by the locals, has grown from a small, sleepy, fishing village into a world class tourist destination. With a deep water pier that can hold up to three cruise ships, allowing for easy disembarkation, Ocho Rios has become Jamaica's premier cruise port.

Attractions

Just west of downtown Ocho Rios, you'll discover one of Jamaica's most famous waterfalls - Dunn's River Falls. The cool mountain waters plunge 600 feet to smooth limestone beds, then stream under the roadway before mingling with the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Whether you climb the falls or swim in the chilly eddies on the ocean side, you're sure to remember this place.
