Stop 1

Place your feet in history with a stop at Columbus Park Open Air Museum where Christopher Columbus landed in 1494, good place picture taking

Stop 2

On your arrival at the Blue Hole you are introduced to your guide who will take you on this river adventure. The Blue Hole (also known as the Secret Fall) is a 25 foot clear blue pool, just off the White River and nestled under a wonderful tropical canopy of trees, which boast a breathtaking bed of beautiful exotic flowers. Encircling the pool are spectacular cascades of waterfalls gushing over into the Blue Hole, also surrounded by various small, crystal clear pools (great for kids). Both locals and adventurous lucky visitors to the island feel privileged to swim in this “Secret Falls.” You can plunge Tarzan style from ropes into the Blue Hole (lower falls). The upper falls is a short hike through the rain forest-like settings along the rushing river. Once at the top, you can swim and jump off the waterfalls.

Stop 3

Next, to add more excitement to your adventure is river tubing on the White River, the thrills and excitement begins when you get into a tube and start this breathtaking adventure through rapids and placid pools as you continue to drift effortlessly down the river. Midway through this adventure you will have the opportunity for a breathtaking rope swing and plunge into the blue river water.

After the fun-filled trip you will have the opportunity to stop at a local restaurant for a jerk chicken lunch (at own expense) and shop at the duty-free center or craft market (optional), before heading back to the cruise ship
