Ocho Rios Vacation FAQ

Top Destinations in Jamaica

Ocho Rios Overview

  • ""

    Nature's Wonderland

    Considered Jamaica’s most famous water attraction and greatest natural treasure, Dunn's River Falls is a combination of waterfalls, freshwater pools and incredible views. It's a “must see” in Ocho Rios. It's a popular tourist spot, so keep in mind, that it can be busy. It's still a fun spot to visit, though. One of the highlights is climbing up the falls! Make sure you have shoes on that can get wet. And, when you finish, you can hang out at the beach at the bottom of the waterfalls. You’ll probably work up an appetite, so be sure to stop in the beach restaurant or pack some snacks to enjoy on the beach.

    Bat Crazy for Caves!

    Located on the northern tip of Jamaica in Discovery Bay, Green Grotto Caves once served as a secret hideaway for runaway slaves and pirates. The history inside these caves is really fascinating and you'll love the insights from your tour guide. As you get deeper and deeper into the caves, the stalagmite, stalactites and rock formations are truly mesmerizing. And don't forget about the bats! But don't worry, they won't bother you at all. Then, once you get to the bottom of the cave, you'll see the Grotto Lake - seriously one of the cave's most dramatic features!

    Vacation Like 007

    About 10 miles from Ocho Rios, on the island’s north coast, is the beach made famous when James Bond's Dr. No was filmed there. James Bond Beach is stunningly beautiful. The beach is surrounded by majestic mountains, turquoise blue water, and a cluster of bars and restaurants. While you're spending your day here, you can book a guided wave-runner tour. This tour will take you around the area, showing off the home where Ian Fleming wrote many James Bond novels, as well as the breathtaking sights surrounding the beach! You might even get to hear a jazz, blues or reggae concert. Enjoy your day and experience life like 007 in this pristine island oasis.

    Take a Walk on the Legendary Side

    You'll for sure want to pay homage to reggae legend Bob Marley. This walking tour starts off in the town Nine Mile, where Marley spent his adolescent years. On this pilgrimage, you’ll travel through the countryside, peppered with dilapidated shacks and farms, ending your tour at Marley’s former home and the adjoining shanty where he is buried. Walking with other tourists and getting an inside scoop from the tour guide is a ton of fun. And, if you time your trip right, you can go to the annual celebration of Marley on his birthday, February 6. You'll be singing reggae in no time on this legendary trail!

    Immigration & Customs

    Complete the immigration form while in flight. Make sure to fill it out completely, including departure information before entering immigration. Otherwise you’ll lose your place in line. Getting through immigration in Jamaica will be time consuming. Keep your travel documents together: immigration form, customs declaration form, valid passport and return tickets. Once you clear immigration, move to customs. Be prepared for your luggage to be checked. You’ll move to one of three lines: nothing to declare, passengers with items to declare, or special passengers (wheel chair passengers and unaccompanied minors). Items for declaration should be accompanied by an invoice and should be listed on the Customs Declaration Form. Members of the same family may use one form (i.e. mother, father and their children under 18 years old). Passengers over 18 years are required to complete their own Declaration Forms. Passengers are required to present their passport, along with the Customs Declaration Form and relevant receipts, for processing. Payment of duties, if any, may be made using cash, VISA or MasterCard credit cards or certified cheques as well as Multi-Link (debit and credit) cards.
