Customize Ocho Rios Day Tour — Rafting, Blue Hole, Dunn's River & Luminous Lagoon
Spend a private day in Ocho Rios choosing horseback rides, bamboo rafting, climbs at Blue Hole and Dunn’s River, and a night at the luminous lagoon. Transport is included; activity fees are paid on site.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring water shoes
Trails, pools, and limestone steps are slippery — shoes with good grip protect your feet and improve traction while climbing falls.
Carry small local cash
Entrance fees, tips, and vendors often work better with Jamaican dollars or small US bills for quick purchases.
Plan the luminous lagoon for night
The bioluminescence shows best after sunset; schedule this stop last and expect a short boat transfer and small docking fee.
Mind your belongings
Bring a waterproof pouch for phone and wallet — many photo spots get you wet and vendors are abundant at exits.

Dunn’s River and surrounding coast lie in Saint Ann Parish, an area with Maroon and Taino heritage; waterfalls and rivers have long been central to local livelihoods and lore.
