Ocho Rios has a vast number of duty-free shops, restaurants, night clubs, and craft markets, which allows tourists to experience the country without straying too far from the comforts and conveniences of home. Moreover, Ocho Rios has some of the most stunningly beautiful sightseeing and adventure tour spots in Jamaica, such as Dunn’s River Falls, the White River, and the Blue Hole Secret Falls.

4. Dunn’s River Falls

Dunn’s River Falls is another extremely popular tourist destination for people visiting Jamaica. However, due to the amount of vast amount of people that visit the falls from the cruiseship port in Ocho Rios, you will want to go on a day when not a lot of cruise ships are docked at the port, so that you can miss out on the huge crowds at Dunn’s River Falls. Nonetheless, Dunn's River Falls is one Jamaica adventure tour you will not want to miss while you are visiting the island.
