Dunn's River Falls and Blue Hole Islsnd Gully

Stop At: Blue Hole, Ocho Rios, Jamaica Consisting of a series of natural limestone pools, the Blue Hole is a hidden gem that captivates travelers with its azure waters. It offers quite the adventure: swim in the pools, go cliff-jumping, swing from ropes into the waters, explore a cave, and take a 10-minute hike to the Secret Falls. There are bathrooms and changing rooms onsite, with lockers and lifejackets available for rent. There aren’t much crowds at the Blue Hole, especially from mid-morning onwards. The waterfall is best visited with a tour from Runaway Bay or Ocho Rios, which often includes the option to also visit Dunn’s River Falls, or go river tubing. Duration: 1 hour

Afterward, we drive off to Dunn's River Falls. The world-renowned Dunn's River Falls is said to be the 8th wonder of the world. It is Jamaica's main attraction and is normally crowded by noon, so we make it our first stop to beat the crowd rushing to enjoy this 600 ft. of cascading spring-fed waterfalls. You get to climb it when it is least crowded and more private. Dunn's River Falls is known for its exhilarating guided climb up the breathtaking cascades. If you are unable or choose not to climb the waterfalls, there are balconies adjacent to the waterfalls where you can see others climb. There are also seats on the balconies. Another option is relaxing on the beautiful beach situated at the bottom of the waterfalls.
