Ripping across the turquoise sweep of Ocho Rios harbor on a two‑seat WaveRunner is a compact, pure‑adrenaline way to read the coastline: coral gardens, verdant shorelines and the open blue beyond. The operator provides instruction, life jackets and all necessary equipment, and the ride departs from inside Ocho Rios Bay Marina for an immediate run into local waters.
