Overview of your Ocho Rios tour

Travel from the Cruise Ship Port through the town of Falmouth with its rich history and Georgian Architecture towards St, Ann (the parish) where Ocho Rios is located. St. Ann is known as the "Garden Parish" due to its lush greenery. It is a unique place where world-class luxury and tradition collide. Ocho Rios is known as the complete vacation and adventure hub in the Caribbean. It boasts numerous attractions and activities such as the world famous Dunn's River Falls and Park, with a climb of 600 ft. and a lovely beach. The park is surrounded by evergreen foliage. We'll also visit the Calypso Cove where you'll be able to do tubing or rafting along the White River. As you glide along the river with small rapids, you'll be surrounded by tropical scenery. You will travel through a small village where you'll see the locals in their natural environment. Additionally, you'll be able to awaken your tastebuds with authentic Jamaican cuisine. Ochi, as we affectionately call our town, Welcomes You!

Ava was an outstanding driver and tour guide during my time in Jamaica. She is a very skilled and responsible driver, which made every journey feel safe and comfortable. Beyond that, Ava is warm, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about her work. She was always punctual, attentive to details, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure the trip was enjoyable. Her local knowledge and professionalism truly made a difference. I highly recommend Ava to anyone looking for a reliable and excellent driver-guide in Jamaica.

Ava was welcoming and understanding of a couple adds to the schedule (like coffee). She does a lovely tour of the island and history. We did dunns falls, a lookout and a beach.

Ava was absolutely AMAZING and I would recommend her without reservation. She was easy to communicate with, incredibly responsive, flexible with our requests, and provided clear directions. She went above and beyond to make our "birthday stop" special. Ava clearly loves her homeland and lots of information to share with us while taking us to the best places to accomplish our goals. Being with her was truly the highlight of our trip! We went cliff jumping at Blue Hole, visited a local shop to purchase coffee, was able to hike up part of Dunn's River Falls, and made it back to the ship leaving no unused time in Jamaica. We look forwrad to working with Ava again.

This tour was a lot of fun. The Blue Hole was really fun, and we got to drive through a lot of the area to learn a lot about Jamaica. Our tour guide Ava N was amazing. We finished up with a perfect lunch at a local Jamaican Jerk restaurant. It was so yummy!!
