Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE LANDSCAPE

Blue Hole waterfalls, lagoons and cliff jumps

Natural pools, cascades and jungle swings make the Blue Hole the day’s active centerpiece—swimming, cliff-jumping and a Tarzan-style swing are all part of the site’s draw.

THE APPROACH

Shuttle ride through local communities

Pickup is provided in an air-conditioned van and the transfer runs through towns and villages on the approach to Ocho Rios, setting the scene before you arrive at the Blue Hole.

THE RELIEF

White River inner-tube float

After the Blue Hole, visitors relax on inner rubber tubes and drift down the White River; the tubing leg is described as a soothing counterpoint to the morning’s climbs and jumps, with optional stops for food and drinks.
