In the heart of Ocho Rios lies the stunning Dunn’s River Falls, one of Jamaica’s most iconic attractions and a must-see for every visitor. Towering 155 feet high and stretching 600 feet long, this terraced waterfall is one of the few in the world that flows directly into the sea.
Your adventure begins with a scenic ride along the north coast, where you’ll be driven to the falls. Upon arrival, local, knowledgeable guides will be on hand to help you navigate the falls, offering assistance as you climb or, if you prefer, you can explore the falls at your own pace. For those who prefer not to get wet, there are stairs beside the falls. Along the way, you can stop to relax in cool lagoons and enjoy the refreshing breeze from the lush rainforest surrounding you.
Next, immerse yourself in the spirit of Bob Marley with a visit to Nine Mile, the birthplace of reggae. Explore the “Graceland of Reggae,” where you’ll walk through the house where Bob Marley was born, the home he lived in until he moved to Kingston, and the stone where he rested. You’ll also see his kitchen, where his mother cooked for him, and his impressive marble mausoleum.
End your day with a visit to local shops for unique souvenirs, and take home a piece of Jamaica’s musical legacy.
