Jamaica questions

Good to know before you book a Jamaica excursion

What is the best excursion in Jamaica?

Dunn's River Falls is the most famous Jamaica excursion, and combining it with the Blue Hole is a favourite day from Montego Bay and Ocho Rios. From Negril, a catamaran trip to Rick's Cafe is the classic choice.

How far is Dunn's River Falls from Montego Bay?

Dunn's River Falls lies just outside Ocho Rios, about one and a half to two hours by road from Montego Bay. Tours from Montego Bay therefore take most of a day.

Which Jamaica excursions suit cruise passengers?

From the cruise port of Ocho Rios, Dunn's River Falls is only a few minutes away, so it fits easily into a day in port. From Falmouth the drive takes more than an hour, and tours usually combine two stops at most. Choose a tour that picks you up at the cruise terminal and guarantees your return.
