Full description

With this excursion, instead of taking 3 days out of your vacation to see all of these popular Jamaican attractions you can visit them all in just 1 day. Climb Dunn’s River Falls.

With the help of your guide, you’ll climb 600 feet to the top of this magnificent waterfall that’s tiered like a wedding cake. Stop for a swim in the refreshing rock pools. With the guide’s help, it’s an easy climb that everyone can enjoy. After the falls, you’ll have a tour of the town of Ocho Rios with a stop for souvenir shopping and to enjoy a typical Jamaican lunch.

Next, you’ll head off on a drive through small market towns and hills to 9 Mile, the birth and final resting place of reggae superstar Bob Marley. Hear the story of his childhood and rise to stardom.

Option Bioluminescent Lagoon Cruise and Dinner

As you head back towards the coast you’ll stop at the Joe James Restaurant and Art Gallery. Enjoy Mr. James’s artwork and sit sown for a Jamaican family-style dinner (included).

Finish your tour with a visit to the Luminous Lagoon, inhabited by microscopic organisms that emit a phosphorescent light when the water is agitated. Shortly after sunset, you’ll board a boat that takes you across the lagoon.

As the water is disturbed, you’ll see the water illuminated behind the boat. Stop to enjoy a swim and watch your body glow. This luminous phenomenon is only seen in 3 locations on the planet.

  • Transportation by air-conditioned car, bus or mini-coach with professional driver
  • Entrance fees for Dunn's River Falls and 9 Mile

Loved seeing the Dunn Falls - was great fun and a real team building activity. Worth bringing rubber shoes but we did it in trainers and that was fine (just be prepared that they will get soaked!). The bioluminescent lagoon was one of the best things we did on the holiday - truly memorable! We didn't care so much for the shopping in Ochos Rios, but that didn't take away from this

Great trip we got to do all 3 activities but they were a bit rushed & we didn’t get a lot of time to stop & enjoy the experience. Before brung quickly ushered onto the bus which we spent the majority of the day on. This is a great day if you only have a limited time in Jamaica & want to do all these experiences. If you have more I’d recommend only doing 2 in one day. The guides at each activity were amazing & really made sure you had a great time however our bus driver whilst being good lacked communication & we had to keep asking what we were doing nxt & how we went about doing it. Overall really great though be prepared to be out for a minimum of 12 hrs our day lasted 13. We were collected at 9am & didn’t get back till 10pm it may have been better to pick up a bit earlier.

Our driver kept us safe throughout the day and provided lots of information and awareness. Dunns falls were amazing. Couldn't climb them due to health issues but managed to get some good pictures and access from various viewing spots. Nine Mile was a winding narrow road and we got there quite late in the day but very fascinating and great to see the connection of the lyrics and where Bob was born and laid to rest. As the trip started late there were some parts which were a bit rushed and we didnt shop in Ocho Rios to make up the time.
