Getting to Know Ocho Rios

If you are visiting Ocho Rios for the first time, it can be difficult to decide what deserves your limited time.

If you are visiting Ocho Rios for the first time, it can be difficult to decide what deserves your limited time. A highlights tour offers a useful starting point, especially when your group enjoys a little variety.

An Introduction to Ocho Rios

RCM’s itinerary includes transportation, Dunn’s River Falls, Fern Gully, shopping and sightseeing. The mix of scenery, activity and local stops makes this different from spending the whole time at a single attraction. Those local stops are also where you’ll hear the most Jamaican Patois, so keep your ears open. Follow your nose, too: the smell of pimento smoke usually means a jerk pan is fired up nearby.

Prioritizing Your Must-See Stops

Confirm how long you will spend at Dunn’s River Falls, whether all admission fees are included, and whether there is enough time for the shopping or sightseeing stops you care about most.

Good to Know Before You Go
