Green Grotto Caves

The fabulous Green Grotto Caves, located in Discovery Bay, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, are one of the island’s most popular attractions. Its name was derived from the signature green algae on the walls of the cave. History states that the cave was first used by the Taino Indians for the purpose of shelter; this was made clear by the discovery of cave paintings and fragments of pottery inside the cave. Runaway slaves made it their safe haven when hiding from their masters. The Spanish used the cave as a hiding place during the British Invasion in the year 1665, and they were used by smugglers to smuggle arms to Cuba. A tunnel that led to the sand made this possible. The Jamaican government also used the cave entrance as a storeroom for rum barrels toward the end of the Second World War.

Blue Hole Island Gully Falls

Up in the hills above Ocho Rios, the waters of the White River feed the beautiful Island Gully Falls, also called ‘Blue Hole’ because of the mesmerizing colour of the mineral pools. Explore the winding road that leads to this enchanting spot with electric-blue mineral-rich waters. In addition to other stunning water body hues in Jamaica, such as at Blue Lagoon and Glistening Waters, at Island Gully Falls you'll experience some of the bluest water you’ve probably ever seen! Are you brave enough to climb the lower cliffs and jump off into the water pools below? Stand beneath the cascades to feel the force of the gushing waters.
Discover walking trails run alongside flowing streams and emerald-green fauna. Learn the history of the area, once part of a sugar plantation. Ruins of the original structure offer glimpses into the bygone colonial era. It's not just the history that captivates you; the falls are also a sanctuary for a diverse array of native flora.
