Discover Ocho Rios: Excursions

What natural wonders can you explore in Ocho Rios with Amstar?

When traveling with Amstar guides, you'll quickly discover that Ocho Rios is home to one of Jamaica’s most beloved natural destinations — Dunn’s River Falls, a 180-foot cascade that descends from the mountain tops into a series of terraces and lagoon pools. Explore the vibrant, tropical jungle on horseback, or float down the river for unspoiled views of the jungle, forest, and sea birds.

How to truly unwind and relax in Ocho Rios?

When it's time to slow down and recharge you should spend some time on the white sand beach. Soak in the famous Jamaican sunshine and listen to the turquoise waters lapping at the shore until the sun disappears into the sea. And when you are ready to head out and explore, there are a lot of tours and activities in Ocho Rios offered by Amstar perfect for everyone!

What authentic Jamaican dishes should you try in Ocho Rios?

Whenever you get hungry after your Amstar tours, be sure to try the authentic Jamaican jerk chicken, or have a plate of fresh shrimp, fish, lobster, or crab. Looking for some vegan or vegetarian food? Jamaica has you covered with Rastafarian cuisine that caters to those with a meatless lifestyle. Welcome to Jamaica!

Amstar Insider Tip

Let's turn your vacation into something more!

Catch the local vibe at the clock tower roundabout! For a real slice of local life, visit the Ocho Rios clock tower roundabout in the early evening. You'll often find locals playing music, dancing, or simply hanging out. It’s a great place to people-watch, grab a coconut or jerk chicken from a nearby vendor, and feel the pulse of the town.
