OCHO RIOS EXCURSIONS

This excursion begins when you are picked up directly from your Cruise Ship Pier or resort in Ocho Rios and taken on a 35 minutes drive along Jamaica’s scenic north coast until we get to a small turn off leading south from the highway on a small dirt road where you can view the lush countryside and beauty of the historic Rio Bueno River with its rapids and pools.  

Your River Boarding Adventure begins as you cross the “Irie Bridge” and venture on a short hiking trail through the rain forest. After some safety instructions from guides, crab a board and enter the Rio Bueno River, immediately you will feel the exhilarating rush of the river currents. This tour is done with two or three guides who lead small groups.  

The flow of the river carries you over a variety of water rapids that awakens your senses and revive your spirit.  Your guides will be in the lead as you navigate past each section of the seven rapids on this river course. Take some time to admire the natural beauty of the surrounding river valley, filled with many species of Jamaican plant and animal life. Next, we will make a small midway stop where you can take a plunge into the river off a 15-20 foot cliff or do the swing from a rope across the river.  

Your river boarding adventure excursion then takes you pass over a small waterfall for one last thrill in the splashing water. Finally you will paddle along with the tranquil currents that follow and enter the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea.  

Once here you may have some beach time, go for a swim enjoy the sun and have a cool drink at the bar before returning to your Cruise Ship Pier or Resort in Ocho Rios.
