Where to fly into for ocho rios jamaica
What to do in Ocho Rios Jamaica
hi everyone it's dawn and I hope you're
having a fantastic week
recently a subscriber asked me to do a
video on what is there to do in otro
Rios and Jamaica and that as a cruise
port so I thought I would tell you some
ideas that I had coming up right after
this
[Music]
[Music]
right off the bat we have to talk about
Dunn's Falls it's the number one tourist
attraction in the area everybody goes
there so keep that in mind it can be
slippery
it can be a steep climb if you're not
very good mobility wise also if you're
picturing yourself by yourself
relaxing in a pool taking selfies
getting your photo taken in a pool
surrounded by the waterfall yeah it's
not normally like that it's pretty
crowded there it can have huge lineups
and the lineups can wave all the way up
Dunn's River Falls from the start of the
day all the way to the finish of the day
so if you're thinking it's gonna be you
by yourself you probably might want to
think again another really good thing
that you can do if you're a little more
adventurous and physically fit is do an
ATV or a 4x4 excursion through the rain
forest you get to get up higher you get
to travel through the area once you're
up high you can sometimes get some great
vistas up there if you're a photographer
and just or just want to see the scenes
and the nature around the area it adds a
little bit of action a little bit of fun
and you get some great views while
you're on earth not quite that
adventurous how about a nice leisurely
catamaran
cruise around the coastline of Jamaica
you could add snorkeling into it if you
wish to or you could just stay on the
catamaran some of them offer lunches
some of them will offer champagne on
board lots of different options while
you're in the area but you can just
cruise around the coast and soak up some
Sun if that's something you're looking
for again if you're a little more
physically fit and a little more
adventurous how about the Blue Mountain
downhill bike ride now you'll notice I
said downhill because what they'll do is
they'll drive you up to the top of the
mountain and you basically ride and
coast your way down past waterfalls
flora nature some great scenes you can
see possibly see the cruise ship from up
there on your way around as well and
it's not as strenuous as going up but
you are on a bike and you do have to
pedal it's not going to make its way all
the way down so keep that in mind it's
it's a little bit strenuous but not as
severe as you would think when you hear
mountain bike ride because it's majority
of it's all downhill another really
great one especially if you're a
photographer or just looking for maybe
something unique is it you were there
during the evening if you don't have to
be back on board by five o'clock and you
can go into the evening hours
head to the luminous Lagoon or maybe an
overnight trip or if you're having to
stay at a hotel when you're gonna make
the luminous lagoon is pretty amazing
it doesn't just glow in the dark that's
not what you're in it when you think it
actually lights up as you move through
the water so as you move your hands back
and forth that causes the luminous
effect
don't ask me exactly what causes it but
it's really neat to be there and if you
happen to be there on a rainy night it's
such an amazing thing to see rainfall in
the water because each splash ignites
the water into a colorful splash of
light and it's pretty cool to see that
so if you
for their and I eater you ever get a
chance definitely head down to the
luminous Lagoon feel like still taking a
dip a little bit of an adventure but you
don't want the crowds that are there at
Dunn's Falls well why not head to the
Blue Hole it's a beautiful little area
that you can get off to it's usually not
as crowded you can high dive off the
water cliffs if you want there's a rope
swing out that you can swing into the
lagoon and basically just have a nice
cool relaxing dip and almost feel like
you're on your own private desert island
just you and whoever happens to be on
your tour with you for all you nature
buffs out there who just want to get
close to as many animals as you can why
not head to Dolphin cold the experience
there is really well run they have
dolphin swims or just dolphin shows but
you can get rid of clothes and dolphins
it's always a fan favorite for kids kids
love being able to swim with the
dolphins and the trainer's there are
really really great for making sure that
you have a good time and being able to
interact with the animals while not
putting a lot of stress on the animals
as well so you can tell when an animal
is okay doing what its won but if they
have to call it over and over and over
oh and it doesn't want to come they
don't do that they'll let it be by
itself they're not going to over stress
the animal they're gonna let it be on
its own which is one thing that I really
admired when I was there at dolphin Coll
it's also a place called rain forest
adventures from there you can do like
Cool Runnings the toboggan race down the
hill where you can even see the ship
from up there you have blue to rafting
through the waters you have a zipline
course and you can just walk around and
see different things in nature so
there's all kinds of things to do in the
rainforest adventures if you hit up in
direction you can basically do one two
or all of it whatever your heart's
content another place to get close to
nature and take a look at some of the
beautiful scenery around is the
enchanted garden and aviary there you'll
see kind of like a little miniature
version of Dunn's Falls you won't be on
the climate up there but but it's a
waterfall nonetheless and there's a bird
aviary where all kinds of macaws and
birds of all colors will be around and
the fauna there has a wide variety of
different flowers that are always in
bloom in Jamaica and if you're just
looking for beauty and relaxation that
it's a wonderful place to spend an
afternoon and just walk around the
grounds and lastly most people are
looking to go to each of some sort of
sand in Jamaica of course they're known
for beaches it's beautiful beaches one
Beach - that maybe get away from a
little bit of the crowds would be one
that's off of the path a little bit but
it's still kind of well-known but very
very rarely is it crowded or overcrowded
except maybe during the Blues Festival
or reggae festivals that they hold on
the beach once in a while this Beach
it's called James Bond Beach and that's
right it's it's because one of the films
from James Bond who's actually filmed on
this Beach they do have memorabilia I
mean there because their cabin there for
ordering the bars and the drinks and
food is mmm his Moonraker tavern so you
know James Bond reference but it's not
in your face you might see sign saying
a-teams Bond name of something but it's
not all over the place you don't have to
worry that you're gonna be inundated
with just James Bond music playing on
the speakers and all that no no it's
nothing like that it's just James Bond
Beach and it tends to not be as crowded
as many of the others yet it's still
nice beach with crystal-clear water so
if that's your idea of spending a good
afternoon or a good day in Jamaica why
not head off to James Bond Beach and you
can say I was on the beach where they
filmed James Bond movies so there you go
there's just a few things that you can
do from Jamaica otro Rio's foul-mouthed
all those areas around there you can
basically do a lot of things it just
have to look for them you don't have to
stick to the tourist traps you there's
also food tours and shopping tours and
there's all kinds of history things to
do so you know don't be afraid to google
it and find out exactly what suits your
tastes before going there don't
necessarily just rely on the offerings
from the cruise ships if you feel a
venturous and you have enough time to
make sure you're back to the ship before
it leaves

lot of fun things to do I hope you liked
