The experience

Blue Hole is built around water and movement. You'll hike up cascading waterfalls, swim in pools underneath them, and explore a cave carved into the rock. The platform jumps and cliff jumps are optional (you choose what you're comfortable with), and the Tarzan rope swing is there if you want it. The guide leads the group through each stop and explains what you're seeing. The whole experience takes up the first part of your day.

After Blue Hole, you're driven to Turtle Beach at Ocho Rios Bay, a 5-minute walk from the UDC/Turtle Beach Pier or 20 minutes from the Reynolds Pier cruise terminal. The beach has white sand, palm shade, and a restaurant and shower facilities on-site. This is where you unwind after the activity: swim if you want, or just sit. Watersports like jet skis and paddleboards are available for an extra charge if you decide to add them.

Transport is round-trip from your cruise port or hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. The guide stays with the group the whole time and speaks English. The tour runs 4 hours total, which gives you time to get back to your ship or return to your accommodation without rushing.
