Jamaica's Enchanting Blue Hole in Ocho Rios: Swim, Dive & Explore Safely
Perched high along Jamaica's White River, the stunning Blue Hole in Ocho Rios is a natural paradise and a top attraction. Venture up enchanting waterfalls—including one 20 feet high—and vibrant blue pools amid lush forest. Swim, dive, and swing from 15-foot ropes into crystal-clear waters. Entry fee applies; open daily 8am to 5pm.
Expert guides lead you on a secure, well-marked trail with steps and ropes through the cascades.
A brief, safe cave climb under one fall suits most adventurers but may challenge claustrophobes. Guides excel with families, kids, and seniors. Buy jelly shoes from entrance vendors if needed; refreshments available. Tip: Bring only wet-proof essentials.
Safety at the Blue Hole
No confirmed leptospirosis cases at the Blue Hole, though reported elsewhere. This bacteria lurks in freshwater, entering via eyes, nose, cuts, or ingestion during water activities. Stay vigilant.
Life jackets provided for weaker swimmers to fully enjoy the falls.
