Blue Hole and River Tubing from Ocho Rios: Rope swing and rapids

Skip the crowds and relax with personalized, stress-free river fun and cool drinks

A private activity in Ocho Rios combining two water adventures: Blue Hole, where you rope swing, cliff dive and explore caves with a guide and lifeguards, then a 45-minute to 1-hour tubing run down the White River through seven rapids and calm pools. Entry to both sites and air-conditioned transport are included. The whole day runs about four hours.

The experience

The Blue Hole sits deep enough for rope swinging, cliff diving and cave exploration, and the guides and lifeguards stationed there keep the focus on what you want to do rather than what you're nervous about. You'll spend roughly an hour and a half moving through the property: climbing behind waterfalls, hiking along the river, jumping from the rope swing into the pool below. The water is cold and the setup is built for swimmers and divers of all levels, so you can push as hard as you want or take it slower if that suits you better.

After the Blue Hole, a 15-minute drive takes you downriver to where the White River tubing begins. The tubes have bottoms built in so you're not sitting in water the whole way, and life vests are available if you want one. The guides who run the tubing section are trained to keep things fun while watching for safety, and they'll help you through the seven rapids that break up the 45-minute to 1-hour float downstream. The tropical scenery moves past as you drift, and the whole stretch feels unhurried even when the water picks up.

Ultimate Excursions Tours handles the transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, and both entry fees are already in the price. The company is family-owned with over a decade running this route, so the schedule gets shaped around your pace rather than a fixed group clock. Changing rooms and bathrooms are at the tubing launch point.
