Time to leave the ship and instead visit one of Jamaica’s premiere attractions, the gorgeous Dunn’s River Falls near Ocho Rios, which you’ll reach after a scenic drive. A plaque provided by the Jamaican Historical Society marks the spot as the site of the battle of Las Chorreras, fought by the English and the Spanish over land rights in 1657 – with the English as the victors. The land was ultimately acquired by the Jamaican government in1972, since which time it has served locals and visitors alike as a popular recreational area and park. The spring water that feeds the falls is rich in calcium carbonate, which results in deposits of travertine and makes the falls a self-regenerating “living” phenomenon. After a drive to the Dunn’s River, your guide will lead you up the naturally terraced river bed as part of a human chain. The climb includes a short pause at the so-called “massage parlour”, where the cascading water can soothe tired shoulders. As an alternative to the climb, there are safe spots from which to watch the others ascend the falls. Next up is a tasty Jamaican lunch by the sea, after which a sightseeing drive around Ocho Rios rounds off the tour before optional shopping (time permitting) and you return to the ship.

Please note: guests are recommended to wear swimwear under comfortable clothing, high-factor sunscreen and to bring a towel plus a change of clothing if swimwear is not worn at the waterfall. Slip-proof or water shoes should be worn since climbing the falls’ many terraced steps is both strenuous and very slippery. Water shoes are available for purchase during the tour at guests expenses. Lockers available at additional cost, rental is at the guests own risk. Guests wishing to climb the falls must be at least 92 cm/3 ft. in height. Guests will not be permitted to jump from the falls. Dunn’s River Falls is not recommended for pregnant women or anyone with heart, neck, back, walking or knee problems.  The falls have two entry / exit points: one at the bottom of the falls and another midway, at the whirlpool area, prior to reaching the top. If at one point, guests don’t want to continue climbing the falls, depending on where the climbing started, they may be able to exit earlier and wait for the rest of the group. There may be a queue to climb the falls.  Please advise of any food allergies. Menu subject to change.

Take a scenic drive through the town of Ocho Rios, which is known for its abundant rainfall, verdant landscapes and rolling hills. Other outstanding vistas will be seen along the way, as you travel to Green Grotto Caves, for a touch of adventure and a journey into the underground. The caves are situated no more than 1 km from the spot where Christopher Columbus landed in 1494 and the fact that Runaway Caves numbers among their many former names is testament to one of the uses to which they were put in the 18^th century. The caverns also provided sanctuary for the Spanish in the 17^th century, later facilitated the activities of arms smugglers and were then used to store rum. Impressive dripstone formations such as stalactites and stalagmites, interconnected passages leading to larger chambers and the grotto itself – with a pool of crystal-clear water – are just some of the attractions that go to make this place so special. On your way back to the surface, a stop will be made at the so-called “Wishing Well”, a pool into which you’ll do well to throw a coin, for luck, for love, for anything your heart desires. Once you return the surface, the coach will be waiting to take you to do optional shopping (time permitting) and back to your ship in Ocho Rios.
