A former fishing town, Ocho Rios is a port town on the coast of Jamaica. It is a popular port of call for cruise ships. From cascading waterfalls and lush rainforests to vibrant marine life and pristine beaches, this stunning coastal town offers something for everyone, so let's dive in. If you'd like to spend time outside of Ocho Rios, you can check out things to do in Montego Bay and Negril.


Travel Tip: The immigration and customs lines at the airport can be a nightmare most times. To save yourself time and stress, I recommend checking out the fast track services offered by Club Mobay.
