Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Whether you call it the Ocho Rios Blue Hole, or the Cool Blue Hole, it doesn’t change the fact that this spot is one of the most breathtaking attractions Jamaica has to offer. So popular is the Blue Hole in Ocho Rios that many travelers put it at the top of their to-do list when they’re headed on a vacation to Jamaica.
You might wonder… what is the Cool Blue Hole? Well, the Ocho Rios Blue Hole consists of a series of natural pools made out of limestone. These are pretty much water-filled sinkholes, and they are located in a secluded area known for its stunning waterfalls. The ‘Cool Blue Hole’ gets its name from the brightness of the water - it’s a captivating blue that just makes you want to jump right in from the moment you arrive.

At the Cool Blue Hole, you can swim, hike, cliff dive, and even enjoy swinging from a rope (like Tarzan!) into the inviting waters below.

Stop 2

Just like reggae music, Dunn’s River Falls is a unique and world-famous attraction on the island of Jamaica. The 180-foot high, 600-foot long landmark stands as a living testament to Jamaica’s natural beauty and attracts millions of visitors from around the world each year. Enjoy an exhilarating adventure to the summit through lush surroundings, dotted with natural swimming pools.

The fall’s most defining feature, however, lies at its base. There, the falls empty into the sea at Little Dunn’s River Beach, making Dunn’s River Falls one of the few travertine waterfalls in the entire world. Let's dive in!
