Ocho Rios, Jamaica
As the city's original name (Las Chorreras meaning "waterfalls") suggests, Ocho Rios offers a wonderful medley of natural beauty, including spectacular bodies of water encompassed by mature, lush greenery. One of the area's best-known attractions is Dunn's River Falls, a 600 foot stair-stepped waterfall that cascades down the mountain. A sight not to be missed! Be sure to leave ample time for the plethora of other activities available. Visit the final resting place of Bob Marley. Drive down Fern gully, a three-mile winding roadway densely lined with giant ferns. See Jamaican artistry first-hand at the Harmony Hall art gallery, featuring an excellent selection of traditional artwork and handicrafts. Tour a flower-lover's dream with visits to Shaw Park Botanical Gardens, famous for its poinsettias and view of the bay; and Carinosa, a garden with more than 200 varieties of orchids. And that's just to keep you busy during the day. After the sun goes down, the nightlife heats up. There's something for everyone in Ocho Rios - from English pubs featuring local music to splashy dance clubs with the latest music. Many of the resorts provide a variety of entertainment as well. Quieter in comparison to Ocho Rios, the North Coast gives a new meaning to the word peaceful. Enjoy the encompassing serenity as you take part in a variety of activities from horseback riding to cave exploration. Come to Jamaica's North Coast where the air is fresh, the breeze is gentle, and the atmosphere is tranquil. Package Includes:- Choice of accommodations

Highly professional dive shops offer courses for beginners as well as for more advanced divers.

Travel tidbits
Airport Lounges
A stay at Sandals, Couples Resorts, SuperClubs, Half Moon Rose Hall, or the Ritz-Carlton come with a special airport treat. After clearing customs, make your way to their private airport lounges to wait for your transfer to your hotel. Once there, grab a Red Stripe and relax from your day of traveling. Remember though, the transfer drivers and anyone who carries your bags to the transfer van are not employed by the resort, so tip them if you receive good service.
Calling All Secret Agents
Located just 20 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Ocho Rios is James Bond Beach, a beautiful stretch of beach featuring the Moonraker Jamaican Bar & Grill and guided waverunner tours which pass the famous Golden Eye, where Ian Fleming penned the James Bond novels.
Fans of Bob Marley
Make a pilgrimage to Nine Mile and see the Bob Marley Mausoleum, the final resting place of the world’s greatest reggae icon, Bob Marley. Visit his shrine and pay your respects. Chances are good you could meet Bob's mother Cedella Booker, or some of his old friends.
Dunn’s River Falls
Stunning scenery and an amazing waterfall, Dunn’s River Falls is an experience of a lifetime. When climbing the falls, the rocks can get slick. To avoid slipping you can rent a pair of aqua socks at the falls, or if you want an unworn pair, purchase them back home for about the same price. The aqua socks are also good for going in the ocean so the sharp rocks and coral won’t hurt your feet.
Green Castle Estate
Meet Elvis the cattle supervisor and Peter the friendly bull, at Green Castle Estate, an ecologically rich and beautiful estate nestled between the majestic Blue Mountains and the Caribbean Sea. Here, you'll learn the rich history of Jamaican agriculture from the Tainos who inhabited the site 1,000 years ago, through 300 years as a sugar cane and banana plantation, to the modern estate today as one of the largest orchid and organic farms in the Caribbean.
