Step-by-step itinerary
Tour Blue Hole and shopping
- Depart from hotel or cruise ship
- Travel through village of Exchange
- Visit Blue Hole waterfalls
- Hike through falls and swim
- Enjoy cliff jumping and rope swing
- Stroll through forest surrounding Blue Hole
The experience
Two to three hours gets you from your hotel or cruise ship through the village of Exchange and up to the waterfall. The Blue Hole sits in the hills above Ocho Rios, a natural series of cascades that feed into deep pools surrounded by forest. Because it's not commercialized, the place stays quiet even when other tour groups fill the main attractions nearby. Your guide handles the route and timing. You focus on the water.
The pools themselves are the draw. You swim through mineral-rich water into caves, jump from rocks into the deeper basins, and swing out on a rope over the falls if you want the adrenaline. The hike between pools is short enough that children and adults at any fitness level can manage it, though you'll want water shoes and a towel. Bring both with you. The guide stays with your group the whole time, so someone who doesn't swim or prefers to watch from the rocks has company.
Your driver picks you up and brings you back, which matters if you're staying at a hotel without a car or coming straight from your cruise ship. Cruise passengers need to give the ship name, docking time and re-boarding time when you book, so the timing works around your departure. A minimum of two adults per booking keeps groups small. The maximum is fifteen people, so you're never in a crowd of fifty.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (4 to 12 years); Infant (1 to 3 years): free.
What exactly is the Blue Hole and what makes it different from other waterfall tours in Jamaica?
The Blue Hole is a series of natural waterfalls and deep mineral pools in the hills above Ocho Rios that has not been developed or commercialized. Most waterfall attractions in the area have been turned into busy tourist facilities. The Blue Hole stays secluded and quiet, with the same cascades and forest setting whether you visit alone or in a group.
Can I jump from the cliffs and use the rope swing, or are those optional?
Both the cliff jumps and rope swing are available to you during the tour, but they're entirely optional. Your guide will show you where they are and how to do them safely, and you can choose to swim in the pools, walk the forest, or watch others instead.
Do I need to bring my own water shoes and towel?
Yes, you need to bring water shoes and a towel with you. The rocks and forest floor are rough, and the shoes protect your feet while you're moving between pools and climbing around the falls.
How does the tour work if I'm staying on a cruise ship?
Your driver picks you up at the cruise port and brings you back in time for re-boarding. At booking, provide your ship name, the time you dock, when you can leave the ship, and when you need to be back on board. The tour timing is built around your ship's schedule.
What's included in the price, and what do I need to pay for separately?
Entry to the Blue Hole, round-trip transfer from your hotel or cruise ship, and your guide are all included. Food and drinks are not included, though you can purchase alcoholic drinks on-site if you want them. Tips for your guide and driver are not included.
