Full description
From the Mountains to the Sea
Experience two completely different sides of Jamaica in one unforgettable adventure — from the mountains to the sea.
Your journey begins in the lush hills above Ocho Rios at the famous Blue Hole, where cool mountain water flows through tropical rainforest into beautiful turquoise natural pools.
Follow your local guide through this Jamaican paradise as you explore cascading waterfalls, swim in refreshing river pools and take in the lush tropical scenery surrounding you.
Feeling adventurous? Try the rope swing, take a guided jump into the brilliant blue water or explore some of the natural areas around the falls. Prefer to take things at a slower pace? Simply swim beneath the waterfalls, relax in the pools and enjoy the peaceful rainforest setting.
After your Blue Hole adventure, leave the cool mountain water behind and make your way toward the Caribbean Sea.
The scenery changes, the water gets warmer and a completely different Jamaican experience begins.
Board your snorkeling boat and cruise away from the Ocho Rios coastline toward the reef. Enjoy the Caribbean views along the way before getting ready to explore beneath the surface.
With your mask, snorkel and fins provided, enter the warm Caribbean water with your guide and discover a colourful underwater world.
Look for tropical fish, coral formations and other marine life as you snorkel through the clear Caribbean Sea. If you’re new to snorkeling, your guide will help you get comfortable with the equipment before entering the water.
In one experience, you’ll discover two sides of Jamaica that couldn’t feel more different.
First, the cool freshwater pools, waterfalls and tropical rainforest of Blue Hole.
Then, the warm Caribbean Sea, coral reef and underwater world of Ocho Rios.
Two environments. Two adventures. One incredible journey from the mountains to the sea.
The Experience
1. Blue Hole Ocho Rios
Begin high in the tropical hills at Blue Hole.
Swim in cool natural pools, explore the waterfalls and enjoy the surrounding rainforest with your local guide.
Choose your own level of adventure — jump, swing and explore, or simply enjoy the refreshing water and beautiful scenery.
2. From the Mountains to the Sea
After Blue Hole, watch the landscape change as you leave the cool mountain river behind and head toward the coast.
This transition is what makes the combination special.
You’re not visiting two similar attractions.
You’re experiencing two completely different Jamaican environments in one day.
3. Ocho Rios Boat & Reef Snorkeling
Board your snorkeling boat and head out onto the Caribbean Sea.
Your snorkeling guide will help you prepare your mask, snorkel and fins before you enter the water.
Then explore the reef and look beneath the surface for tropical fish, coral and other marine life.
Marine sightings and underwater visibility naturally vary according to sea and weather conditions.
