Such an amazing and thrilling experience to explore this surreal place. Had loads of fun and adventures while diving zip lining and swimming through these holes. 🥰

this tourist attraction is very nice and worth the detour! it is not too crowed and the tour only last about 1hr total. you get to jump in the water many times, hike through the waterfalls and enjoy the quite unusual secret jungle hideout feel. the best advice i can give you is when you get out of the tour bus, make sure you leave all your clothes and belongings there and only wear your water shoes. you may bring a cellphone in waterproof case but nothing else.

I highly recommend making a trip to the Blue Hole in Ochos Rios. So beautiful and peaceful. Our tour guide took us to 3 sink holes. It wasn't too crowded when we went but we did wish we had more time but that was our fault since we got there before they closed at 5pm.

A must visit in Jamaica. The blue hole borders St.Ann and St. Mary. It cost 25USD to get in which is about £18 (we are from the UK). As you arrive to the location there are many tour guides that approach. We chose Oshane - he was great! The tour is only supposed to be about an hour long but he stuck with us anyway helping us on the slippery rocks. And encouraged us to jump into the water and made us feel safe. Along the way there are different fruits, plants and souvenirs you can buy. The water is a magical blue colour and Oshane taught us about some of the plants and history of the blue hole. There are lockers available for cheap. A free changing room and showers. You can also get a massage in cave with natural mineral mud at an extra cost. If you want an adventure come here and tip your tour guide if they were good.

Stunning colours in the water. Fantastic garden scenery. Exciting over water activities. The guide was affable & patient. Blue Hole is through & through fun from arrival to departure. I suggest sneakers or water shoes instead of slippers or flip flops as the practical and appropriate footwear. Tip your guide, he will deserve it.

Don’t book online. You’re greeted up the hill by tour guides on bikes who lead you to the spot. You sign a waiver. You pay $20 to enter. Then you’re guided through the forest to the most amazing falls and holes where you can dive in, swim n, or swing into.
