The experience

How do you fit two major natural sites into one day without rushing? This private tour picks you up from your hotel or cruise port in Ocho Rios and travels through small villages and tropical forest to Blue Hole first. You swim in the natural pool, jump off small cliffs if you want to, try the rope swing, explore a nearby cave and hike up the cascading waterfalls with your guide. The second half moves to Konoko Falls and Park, where you tour the river gardens at your own pace or join your guide for a walk through the property. The guide shares the history of the Taino Indians, the original inhabitants, and points out indigenous birds and animals along the way. You climb the waterfall, then stop at a local craft market or souvenir shop before heading back to your starting point.

The van is air-conditioned, and the guide provides live commentary throughout. Bottled water is included. Because this is a private tour, the itinerary flexes to what you want to do. You're not locked into a fixed schedule or waiting for a larger group to finish at each stop. The minimum booking is two people.
