Ocho Rios has the highest concentration of attractions in Jamaica, and that is exactly why a private driver is worth it here. Dunn's River, Blue Hole, Mystic Mountain and Konoko Falls are all within twenty minutes of town, so a private vehicle lets you hit two or three properly in a day and time your arrival around the cruise ship crowds rather than into them.

The 180-foot climbable waterfall on the edge of town. Go early or late — mid-morning on a two-ship day is shoulder-to-shoulder. Water shoes are essential and rentable at the gate.
River pools, rope swings and cliff jumps in the hills above town. Rougher and more adventurous than Dunn's River, and usually far quieter.
Chairlift over the canopy, bobsled run and ziplines directly above Ocho Rios. The best rainy-day and mixed-age option in the area.
Limestone caverns at Runaway Bay with an underground lake, twenty-five minutes west. A natural stop on the way in from Montego Bay.
An hour and a half inland through the St Ann hills to the village where Marley was born and buried. The drive itself is a large part of the experience.
